3 surprising benefits I experienced from scalp oiling

We recommend that most people should incorporate scalp oiling into their hair care routine. And in this article, I am going to discuss the 3 surprising benefits I experienced from scalp oiling. This is wholly from my personal experience and what I’ve loved the most about scalp oiling. So, let’s get into it!

1. Scalp oiling balanced my scalp

Before I started scalp oiling. My scalp would usually feel…tacky. Even on the days that I washed my hair, and especially the day after, my scalp would feel oily but also sticky. This created a scent that I certainly wasn’t a fan of. I would also get flakes on my scalp. They weren’t dry flakes, they were thicker crusts. Thinking back, I cannot believe I dealt with it for as long as I did. I normalized it.

When I started scalp oiling, it entirely changed the way my scalp behaved. Suffice it to say, I get NONE of these issues anymore. I don’t remember the last time I got a flake, an itch. My scalp just feels moisturized and…airy.

2. New hair growth

This benefit might not seem surprising, but when you ACTUALLY see new hair growth, there is a shock factor. In my case I was dealing with hair loss for about 7 years before I started scalp oiling.

When I first started scalp oiling, I was using my DIY oil mixtures. After I worked on the Scalp Elixir formulation with a cosmetic scientist, I truly saw a world of a difference. The Scalp Elixir worked so much harder than my DIY mixture ever could, and I went from a widening hair part, to now dealing with how I can tame the hundreds of baby hairs that have popped up.

I’m very cautious about how I talk about hair regrowth because I fully understand how difficult that experience is. We won’t often link the Scalp Elixir to hair regrowth in our communication because I personally find that to be unethical. But yes, the combination of the Scalp Elixir and the head massage did give me new hair growth.

How long till I experienced this benefit? First noticed new hair growth at 3 months and it’s been continuing ever since.

3. A holistic view on hair care

This might be the most important benefit I got. Over time, scalp oiling led me into the healthy hair world. I looked at other habits that were affecting the health of my hair be it diet, physical exercise, heat styling, general handling of my hair, my wash schedule and it resulted in understanding my hair and its curls. 

Maybe not a traditional benefit, but that’s why these are surprising benefits to scalp oiling. The knowledge I gained from scalp care led me to better understand what my hair needed, how to take care of it, and just how to be more confident with it.

I’m so thankful for these learnings and even more thankful that I can bring a community on this journey too. 

How long till I experienced this benefit? Probably after 3-4 months
