can we apply oil after hair serum - #37823
I am really confused about my hair care routine lately. I’ve been using this hair serum that everyone keeps raving about, and I have to say, it seems to work great for frizz and my hair feels really smooth. But then I heard someone mention oil, and now I’m second guessing everything! Like, can we apply oil after hair serum? Is that even a good idea? I try to take care of my hair, but honestly, I feel like I’m juggling too many products now. Last week, I mixed up the serum and the oil, and my hair turned out super greasy! Ugh! I'm not sure if oil on top of serum is gonna weigh my hair down or what? I wanna maintain the benefits of the serum, but I also want that shiny, healthy look that oil gives. I’ve read conflicting stuff online about it, like some say it's a "no-go" and others say it locks in moisture or whatever. I just wanna know what’s actually good for my hair. Should I be using oil before the serum, or does it not matter? Can we apply oil after hair serum, or should I stick to just one product at a time? Trying to get it right but keep messing it up!

When considering whether to apply oil after hair serum, it’s important to understand the role each product plays in your hair care routine and how they interact. Hair serums are generally designed to smoothen frizz, add shine and protect your hair from environmental damage. They often have a silicone-base, creating a protective coat over the hair. Oils, on the other hand, are more nourishing; they penetrate the hair shaft, delivering essential nutrients and locking in moisture.
Applying oil after a serum could weigh your hair down, especially if your hair tends to be oily or fine. Oil on top of a silicone-based serum might not penetrate efficiently, as the serum layer may act as a barrier. In Ayurveda, the use of oils is recommended to nourish and balance the doshic influences affecting the hair. For Vata-dominant types, oils like sesame or almond can be wonderfully nourishing, whereas Kapha types might benefit from lighter oils like sunflower, used sparingly. Pitta types do well with cooling oils such as coconut.
If you’re aiming for a healthy routine, consider starting with oil application. On days you intend to wash your hair, gently massage the oil into your scalp and through your hair strands, leaving it for at least 30 minutes (or overnight, if possible) before washing. This can deeply nourish your hair and enhance its natural shine. After washing and towel-drying, you can then apply the serum primarily to the lengths and ends to reduce frizz and add protection.
For your daily styling, you might want to stick to using just one product, choosing between oil or serum based on your hair’s needs that day. On particularly damp days, your hair might benefit more from a serum to control frizz; on days when your hair feels extra dry, opt for a light application of oil.
Ayurvedic wisdom often emphasizes individualized routines. Therefore, if you notice that your hair feels heavy or greasy, it might be an indication to adjust the amount of product or the order of application. Always seek to create a balance that caters to your unique hair type and condition, keeping in mind the lifestyle and environment that might affect this balance.
