A member asked:
How much is it important to oil the hair.also is it important to oil the hair before washing them.wht are the effects if hair is washed without oiling?

Listen to your body: If you have dry hair, ingesting more essential fatty acids as supplements or in your food may help. Use a shampoo that doesn't strip out oils. Follow with a conditioner that that has good oils. Read the ingredients carefully because many additives in shampoos and conditioners are not healthy. Olive oil and coconut oil are generally healthy for hair.
