A WOMAN who suffered from extremely thin hair has revealed how she brought her follicles back to life.
She used a hair growth method to improve the density of her scalp, but she also encountered mistakes along the way.
A Redditor asked about the benefits of oil hair treatment in a publish on the social media platform.
They admitted that they saw a lot of content online “praising oiling your hair.”
Some of the benefits include how it helps improve density, grow hair longer, and overall hair health.

She oils for a minimum of thirty minutes and up to two hours to ensure her head is completely coated in oil.
The Reddit user said she uses amla oil, hemi-squalane, or a blend of oils from the Indian supermarket.
She warned that the product chosen should not contain any mineral oil.
Overall, she said the technique “repaired a lot of damage to the ends” and improved scalp density.
She called it “a very long-term process” that also “involved a lot of trial and error.”
One big lesson she learned was that she shouldn’t sleep in the oil.
She realized the mistake “exacerbated the hair loss” for her.
She also realized that it’s best to distribute the oil with a scalp massager rather than your fingers.
It makes washing easier and is a more uniform process.
