Does applying oil really grow hair?

News India Live, Digital Desk: The way of massaging oil in hair has been going on in our culture for generations. We often assume that applying hair oil will grow rapidly, but does it really happen? Famous cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Rashmi Shetty has shared important information on this subject through a video on Instagram.

Does applying oil grow hair?

Dr. Shetty says that the length of the hair depends on our genetics, not on applying oil. He said, “The length of your hair depends on the length of the anagen phase of your hair growth cycle. This means how long the hair will continue to grow, it decides your genetics.” Applying oil to hair protects hair strands, causing them to break down, but it does not directly affect hair growth.

What is the benefit of applying oil?

Applying oil to hair improves their quality. This makes the hair look strong, shiny and dense. However, applying oil does not grow hair directly rapidly. Oil prevents breakdown by nourishing hair, causing long hair confusion.

How to apply oil?

Dr. Shetty has also given the correct ways to apply oil:

• Apply oil on the mid-length and ends of the hair.
• Avoid applying the oil directly into the scalp until the doctor is advised.
• Use light and non-comedogenic oils and wash the hair regularly.

Proper care of the right hair care routine, healthy diet and scalp is essential for hair growth and health.
