4. Weighs Down Hair
Oils can weigh down your hair, especially if you have thin or fine hair. Instead of appearing voluminous and bouncy, your hair might look limp and flat due to the added weight of the oil. This effect is more noticeable when you apply oil close to your scalp, as the roots become greasy and heavy.
Hair that is weighed down lacks movement and can lose its natural texture, making it harder to style. For individuals who enjoy curling or volumizing their hair, excessive oiling can counteract these efforts.
To maintain volume, opt for lightweight products like volumizing mousses or sprays. If you still want the benefits of oil, apply a very small amount only to the ends of your hair to avoid weighing it down.
