Can Oiling Damage Chemically Treated Hair?

πŸ€” Is It Safe to Oil Chemically Treated Hair?

Many clients at Green Trends Ashok Nagar, the best salon in Ashok Nagar, ask us:
“Can I oil my hair after smoothening or coloring?”

The short answer: Yes, but with caution.
Chemically treated hair—whether it's rebonded, smoothened, keratin-treated, or colored—requires gentle care. While oiling has benefits, using the wrong type of oil or applying it incorrectly can lead to damage, dryness, or product buildup.


βœ… Benefits of Oiling Chemically Treated Hair (When Done Right)

  • Hydrates dry strands

  • Nourishes the scalp

  • Adds shine and softness

  • Reduces frizz and flyaways


⚠️ Risks of Oiling If Not Done Correctly

  • Using heavy oils can clog follicles and cause scalp issues

  • Leaving oil overnight may weaken chemically altered strands

  • Improper washing can leave residue and weigh hair down

  • Applying too soon after treatment can interfere with the effects


πŸ’‘ Green Trends Ashok Nagar Recommends:

βœ”οΈ Wait Period

After chemical treatments like smoothening or keratin, wait 10–15 days before your first oiling session.

βœ”οΈ Choose the Right Oil

  • Use lightweight oils like argan oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil

  • Avoid heavy, sticky oils like castor or coconut (unless diluted)

βœ”οΈ Limit Frequency

Oil once a week at most—chemically treated hair is more fragile and doesn’t need frequent oiling.

βœ”οΈ Gentle Application

Warm the oil slightly and apply only to the mid-lengths and ends, not the scalp.

βœ”οΈ Use a Mild Cleanser

After oiling, wash with a sulfate-free shampoo to protect your treatment.
