After having kids, having COVID, having a major surgery, my once insanely thick, extremely healthy hair took a major hit. I felt like I’d never see it come close to its once thick and healthy self, but now that I’ve been hair and scalp oiling things are definitely turning around! I was extremely skeptical since it takes little time, the products are fairly inexpensive, and the technique couldn’t be easier.

I’ll provide you with all the steps you need to oil your way back to a healthy scalp and hair, help prevent further fallout, and regrow lost hair!

Step 1: Brush hair thoroughly

I know, I know… it sounds simple enough, but brushing your hair helps stimulate the scalp and remove any hair fallout. I prefer a boar bristle brush to help prevent damage to hair.

Step 2: Apply rosemary mint oil to scalp

This part is as simple as it sounds. Apply 12-24 drops (I empty 2-3 droppers full) of rosemary mint oil evenly to scalp. Make sure to cover all parts of the scalp you’d like to see regrowth and improve hair and scalp health.

Massage the scalp oil into the scalp using a scalp massager for 10 minutes to stimulate the scalp and help the scalp absorb the oils.

Step 3: Apply light oil to hair ends and strands

Apply a lighter hair oil to hair strands and ends.

Step 4: Style hair in a protective hairstyle

Gently twist oiled hair into a loose bun and secure using a silk scrunchy to help prevent breakage and excess hair fallout. Keep hair in this protective style 2-4 hours.

Step 5: Wash hair thoroughly

Wash hair twice thoroughly as normal to remove all hair oil. I prefer Verb Curl Shampoo and Conditioner for curly and wavy hair.

Their Ghost line of products is also excellent and I sometimes prefer Ghost Shampoo to remove all of the oils and soften hair with a clean feeling.

Step 6: Apply hair mask

After thoroughly rinsing, apply a hair mask. I love Verb products and prefer their Ghost Hair Mask for its silky, light feel.

Step 7: Style hair as normal using a light oil

Apply a very light hair oil and style as usual. I love Verb Ghost Oil because it is so light it’s hardly noticeable in hair, but protects extremely well.

Step 8: Daily scalp massage and rosemary water

Follow up scalp oiling with 2 minute scalp massages daily and a light rosemary water mist.
