Experts weigh in on benefits and considerations of overnight hair oiling

Experts discuss the benefits and considerations of overnight hair oiling. They note that while it can nourish and strengthen hair, its effectiveness depends on hair type, scalp condition, and oil choice. Overnight oiling can provide deep nourishment, reduce protein loss, and help with scalp hydration and frizz control. To protect bedding, wrapping oiled hair in a towel is recommended. For those with busy lifestyles, applying oil 30 minutes before washing is suggested. Lightweight oils can be used post-wash for a fresh, frizz-free finish. Understanding individual hair needs is key to an effective routine.
