The debate over whether it’s better to use shampoo first or last is as old as time itself. After all, if you shampoo first and then oil your hair, will the oil get washed down the drain? Or, alternatively, if you oil before washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner, will the ingredients in those products strip away any of the benefits of using an oil before showering?

The answer is both. Use it as a pre-shampoo treatment and follow up with shampoo.

You can use hair oils both as a pre-shampoo treatment and as a post-shampoo treatment. The answer is both!

If you want to use it as a pre-shampoo treatment, apply the oil to damp or dry hair. Massage it in well and leave it overnight before washing your hair in the morning with shampoo. This will give your scalp some TLC while also conditioning your strands from root to tip.

If you want to use it as a post-shampoo treatment, apply the oil after cleansing but before styling (i.e., blow drying). This will lock in moisture so that frizz doesn’t have time to form on humid days; plus since there’s no need for heat tools (which can cause damage), this approach is gentler on fragile strands than other options like deep conditioning masks or hot air brushes/tools

It’s important to note that no matter what you do, oiling your hair before shampooing will not prevent stripping the natural oils from your scalp and hair.

It’s important to note that no matter what you do, oiling your hair before shampooing will not prevent stripping the natural oils from your scalp and hair. The oil will simply sit on top of them and then be washed away when you shampoo.

If you want to use an oil-based product as part of a pre-shampoo treatment routine, make sure that it contains ingredients that are designed specifically for this purpose (like argan or coconut oil).

If you don’t use a conditioner, you will definitely notice this stripped effect if you use oil on your hair and then wash it straight after.

If you don’t use a conditioner, you will definitely notice this stripped effect if you use oil on your hair and then wash it straight after. Oil acts as a great conditioning treatment for dry or damaged hair, but it won’t give your locks the moisture they need if they’re already well-moisturized from the inside out (by way of the aforementioned conditioner).

Therefore: If you do use conditioner, there is no need to oil before shampooing–just let the product work its magic while keeping your strands clean!

If you do use a conditioner on your hair then you can use oil before shampooing without experiencing the stripped effect because the conditioner will be there to protect your hair.

Conditioners are designed to moisturize and help keep moisture in your hair, so using them after shampooing will help keep it that way.

On top of that, it’s good practice to start cleansing your hair at least once every week to avoid build-up on your scalp and hair.

Oil can be used before or after shampooing, but no matter what you do, oiling your hair before shampooing will not prevent stripping the natural oils from your scalp and hair.

You can use oil either before or after shampooing without experiencing any adverse effects

You can use oil either before or after shampooing without experiencing any adverse effects. You can use oil as a pre-shampoo treatment and follow up with shampoo, or you can use it as a post-shampoo treatment and follow up with conditioner.

If you have dry hair, then using an oil before washing is recommended because it will help seal the moisture in your hair shafts better than just using shampoo alone. On the other hand, if you have oily scalp and greasy roots, then applying oils after cleansing will be better for your scalp because it will absorb excess sebum from the roots without clogging pores on top of them!
