What can hair oiling do for your child and why should you include this ancient practice in their hair care routine?
THE BENEFITS OF HAIR OILING FOR CHILDREN

A common concern among many mothers is whether or not hair oiling is suitable for their children. Kids’ hair is not the same as ours. It usually has a softer, more delicate texture and can break or get damaged easily in comparison to adult hair, so it’s wise to be cautious about what products should be used. The great news is that while children often need kid-friendly shampoos, conditioners or detangling sprays, hair oiling is one ritual that is good for both mothers and children!

BENEFITS OF HAIR OILING

Kids with short or fine hair may find hair oiling encourages growth and protects from damage or breakage. Curly haired kids might benefit from oils as a way to define their beautiful curls and keep frizz at bay. Oils can also be great for avoiding tangles and making brushing less stressful for little ones. Regular scalp and hair oiling can have plenty of general benefits for your child’s hair, no matter their type. These include:

Smoothness: oil adds lubrication which helps to condition hair, leading to a tangle and frizz-free mane for your little one

Nourishment: regular hair oiling enriches the scalp and hair with vitamins and nutrients which improve hair quality, strength and in some cases, growth.

Circulation: having an oil massage on the scalp boosts blood circulation in this area which promotes better overall scalp health

Bonding: giving your child a head massage as part of hair oiling is caring and reassuring - the perfect opportunity to bond with each other!
