Hair Care Rituals For Quarantine Life

While we may usually place more of an emphasis on our overall health, including our skin health, we also have to focus some time and attention on our hair to keep it as healthy and strong as possible. Here are a few hair care rituals to try during the quarantine period.

Try Using Hair Oil

How many times have you told yourself you were going to try out that new hair oil but found a million other things you had to do first? Well, there’s no better time to try it out than during the quarantine.

Hair oils can be used as deep leave-in conditioners and then rinsed out when done. Let’s take a closer look at some of the available hair oils to choose from and what they can do for your hair.

Lavender Hair Oil

This hair oil has a coconut base and can deeply penetrate hair shafts to nourish and protect your hair and scalp. All you have to do after shampooing is to apply a few drops to your hair and massage the oil in. You can also use lavender hair oil as a hair mask that you can keep on the hair for a few hours or even overnight. It can then be rinsed off in the morning.

Castor Oil

Castor oil has been used for years as a hair care treatment because it moisturizes the scalp. It can also help ease dandruff and leave you with shiny and smooth hair. It protects against hair loss and promotes hair growth.

Castor oil is not something you want to use daily, however, because it has a thicker consistency and will need to be rinsed out thoroughly. It is good to use one to two times a week if you want to take advantage of its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Coconut Oil

This is another oil that is beneficial for the hair because it can penetrate deep into your hair follicles. It promotes scalp health and effectively combats lice and dandruff. Coconut oil can easily add more luster and shine to the hair while making it soft. It prevents breakage and split ends as well.

Argan Oil

If you have split ends and want some shine to your hair, then argan oil is something you should try out during quarantine. It is full of antioxidants, omega-6 fatty acids, and linoleic acid. It helps repair split ends and promotes healthy hair growth.

Marula Oil

This oil contains a concentration of amino acids and natural fatty acids that help restore your hair and smooth out split ends. Marula oil nourishes the hair from the root to the tip without weighing it down or making it feel greasy. The oil is hydrating and locks in your hair’s moisture.

For hair conditioning and moisture, use a few drops of any of these oils and run them through your hair. You can leave them in your hair for 3 to 24 hours and then rinse with shampoo. All you need is a little bit to restore the health of your hair.
