Why you should definitely include an oil hair bath in your haircare routine

The oil bath for hair is without a doubt one of the oldest and most effective haircare practices, used around the world to nourish and strengthen hair. By soaking the strands in a beneficial oil, this technique helps address specific needs. Whether your hair is dry, oily, dull, or simply lacking vitality, oil baths offer a natural solution to restore healthy and radiant locks. Even better, they can also target specific concerns.

So how exactly does an oil bath work? How can you find the ideal combination? We’ll guide you through it all in this article.

What is a hair oil bath?

A hair oil bath is a deeply nourishing treatment that involves generously applying a vegetable oil to the entire length of the hair, from roots to ends. By thoroughly coating the strands, the oil bath nourishes dry, dull, or damaged hair, delivering the essential nutrients it needs to regain its natural shine. The oil also creates a protective barrier around the hair fibers, helping to strengthen the structure and prevent breakage.

Nowadays, the oil bath has become a true treatment. In addition to nourishing the driest or dullest hair, an oil treatment can also help address other scalp and hair concerns. In fact, some hair oil baths are specifically formulated to soothe irritation, combat dandruff, or even reduce hair loss.

Application and leave-in time

Did you know that a hair oil bath won’t disrupt your daily routine? Contrary to what you might think, it only takes about 7 minutes for the oils to start working. That’s the minimum time we recommend. Of course, the longer you let your oil treatment sit, the better the results. But for those of you in a hurry, just 10 minutes can already make a difference.

And the best part? An oil bath is applied before shampoo, even before you step into the shower! So, no more excuses not to include it regularly in your routine. While the oils are working their magic, you can watch TV, read a good book, or even cook. You can do just about anything at home while your hair absorbs the oils.

When it comes to application, rest assured, it couldn’t be simpler! Start by applying the oil to the roots, then gradually work it through the lengths. Your entire head of hair can benefit from the properties of the oils. Don’t worry about the greasy feel: the oil rinses out easily with water and a double shampoo. Incorporating oil baths into your routine is not complicated at all, you just need to find your best ally oil.

Hair oil bath: which oil should you choose?

As you’ve understood, the hair oil bath is an essential step in any haircare routine, and it’s not difficult to incorporate.
But before anything else, you need to choose the right products. It’s not about applying just anything to your hair. In general, a hair oil bath is made up of one or several vegetable oils.

It’s important to select an oil that matches your specific needs and is of high quality. On the market, you’ll find oils of all kinds and at all price points, but they are not all the same. You need to be very careful and, if possible, choose oils from organic farming.

You might be wondering: what role do essential oils play in our hair oil bath? What if we told you they could transform a simple hair oil bath into a 100% personalized treatment?

A personalized hair oil bath? Oh yes!

The uniqueness of our hair oil bath lies in its tailor-made approach. To put it simply, we have two vegetable oil complexes that form the base of the treatment:

Renovator : for thick, very damaged hair in need of an ultra-regenerating treatment
Repair : for all other hair types, including fine and oily hair

Once you’ve chosen the right oil base according to your hair type, all you need to do is add our magical elixirs, the aromasynergies. Each one has a specific power to target a precise hair concern.

This is how you get a personalized hair oil bath tailored to the issue you want to address. We have 6 aromasynergies for your ultimate benefit:

Dermosweet : to soothe sensitive and irritated scalps
Deskwam : to treat dandruff problems
Balans : to fight oily scalps
Calvitien : to help reduce hair loss
Nutritif : to nourish dry hair
Plantapoux : to get rid of unwanted visitors

How to prepare a hair oil bath

Creating this personalized oil bath couldn’t be easier. Simply choose one of our bases, Repair or Renovator, and pour 20 ml into an applicator bottle. Then, depending on your needs, add 10 drops of one or two aromasynergies and mix well. The magic happens! You get a homogeneous blend ready to be gently applied all over your scalp and lengths.

In just 7 minutes, the oils will have done their work. But you can leave your hair oil bath on longer if you wish. The longer the oils sit, the more your hair absorbs them, and the more effective the treatment becomes!

A concrete example: oily hair

Contrary to popular belief, a hair oil bath won’t make oily hair greasier, because the selected oils are designed to regulate excess sebum. For this hair type, we recommend the Repair oil complex, which contains, among other things, jojoba oil, a perfect oil for balancing sebum production. The aromasynergy to blend with Repair in this case is Balans, the magical potion that regulates, rebalances, and tones the scalp.
