does oiling hair help - #24216

I am really confused and need some advice. Lately, my hair has been super dull and dry, and I keep hearing people say that oiling hair helps. I started this whole oiling routine with coconut oil, but I don't really know what I’m doing, honestly. My friend said to do it every day, but that just feels like too much. Also, it feels kinda greasy after, like am I doing it wrong? I thought oiling hair helps make it shiny, but sometimes I feel like it just makes it look worse! I tried olive oil too, thinking maybe that would be better? My scalp gets oily really quickly, so I have no clue if that’s the problem or just the oil. I did like a patch test the other day 'cause I worried about irritation, and now I’m second-guessing if oiling hair helps boost growth or if it's totally not necessary. Ughhh, really hoping someone can help me figure this out. Is there a specific way to do this or is it more about the type of oil I should be using?
