Lahore: (RightNow) The practice of applying oil to hair has been popular for centuries, but mistakes can make it harmful. Experts attribute this to misleading information spread on social media.

According to experts, many people follow unverified social media advice, which can damage hair. Proper oil application and choosing oil according to hair type are crucial.

A recent report suggests that people with oily hair should use argan or jojoba oil. Coconut and avocado oil are better for dry hair.

It is clear that the purpose of oil is to soften hair and prevent breakage, not to increase length. Scientific research indicates that oils preventing breakage are more effective.

Remember, oil should not be considered a substitute for conditioner or hair masks. A balanced diet and proper hair care are equally important.
