It is a common misconception that you should put hair oil before leave in conditioner, when in reality, you should do the opposite. Here’s why:
When you put hair oil before leave in conditioner, the oil actually creates a barrier on your scalp and hair shaft, which prevents the conditioner from being able to penetrate and do its job. This can lead to build-up and make your hair appear greasy and heavy.
On the other hand, if you apply your leave in conditioner first and then follow with a few drops of hair oil, the conditioner will be able to deeply hydrate your strands while the oil helps to seal in moisture – giving you soft, silky and healthy-looking hair.
