Should I Apply Hair/Scalp Oil Everyday?

A common question that we get is can I apply oil to my hair and scalp everyday?

‍

If you are using any of Bella Gaura's luxury elixirs the answer is YES! This was one of the main use cases we took into consideration when we formulated our elixirs. We wanted our elixirs to be powerful and potent enough for real, effective results, but lightweight and gentle enough for daily use without causing any issues!

Now, if you are using other scalp and hair oils, you have to be weary of how often you are applying these products. For example, if your oil has silicone in it, you want to use it sparingly and only for specific purposes (i.e., heat styling) as it can cause excessive build-up on your hair strands, which can actually lead to hair breakage and if your oil has silicone in it you should NEVER apply it to your scalp. If you are using a super potent hair oil that has instructions like 1-2 drops or only 1-2x a week, then it's best you heed that advice or it could actually advance your hair loss by causing further scalp irritation, damaging your scalp, or break off your hair. If you are using a thick, heavy oil than you also want to be mindful of how often you apply your oil because again it can cause product build-up, potentially clog your pores and hair follicles, and make your hair look and feel greasy and weighed down.

So, the short answer is... it depends in general, but always yes if you are using Bella Gaura's products :)
