Oils are great sealants, preshampoo Treatment, growth stimulators and for hot oil treatment. After moisturizing you apply the oil to lock in the moisture. For preshampoo Treatment, you apply the oil before cleansing to minimize the stripping effect of shampoos. They also help regrow edges and stimulate growth by massaging your scalp with a growth stimulating oil.
