Since childhood, we are being told by our mothers that, using hair oil is the solution to all hair problems. Be it itchy scalp, rough ends, split ends or dandruff, hair oil is the answer. But here we are going to bust a big myth about hair oils. Do you know that hair oils can so more damage than good?

Isn’t this totally opposite to what you have been told so far. Oil is used to moisture scalp but it does not really moisturize your scalp. When you apply hair oil and leave it, it forms a layer which prohibits natural moisture to pass through the pores. It can also clog the hair follicle, which in turn produces excess oil, itchy scalp, and dandruff.

Especially if you are trying to get rid of dandruff hairs, oil can aggravate the problem and makes your hair dull and lifeless. When you apply hair oil, it becomes mandatory to wash your hairs because you can’t go out with oily hairs. Therefore the more frequently you oil your hairs, the more frequently you are forced to wash it.This can cause loss of moisture in your hairs due to excess stripping of natural oil. Resulting in dry and damaged hairs.

Here are some remedies you can try to instead of hair oil if you have an itchy flaky scalp.

Lemon Juice: - Before taking a shower, apply lemon juice on your scalp for at least 20 minutes and then wash it with a gentle cleanser. This will remove any excess oil and prevent dandruff.

Aloe Vera Gel: - You can also rub aloe Vera gel, 20 minutes prior to taking a shower and wash your hair.
