What is an oil bath and what is it used for?

Oil bath questions

Some doubts are very common among women who seek to do this hair procedure. In view of this, Thalita clarified the most recurring ones for us. Just spy:

• What is the difference between a shine bath and an oil bath? The shine bath, according to the professional, “is a mixture of coloring or toning with hydration, suitable for dull and lifeless hair”. In turn, the oil bath is a procedure made up of oil corner, an oil that promotes a shiny effect and pigmentation to black hair, in addition to nutrition.
• What is the value? The cost of the procedure will depend on the length of the hair, but varies between R$100 and R$200. You can also purchase the product for professional use in cosmetic stores, which usually has 500 ml and costs around R$100.
• Does it spoil your hair? No, this procedure will not damage your hair. On the contrary, it will nourish it, bringing softness and shine. The ideal, of course, is to look for a professional to perform this treatment on your wires.
• Cover white hair? According to Thalita, there is no way to cover white hairs with an oil bath. After all, it’s not about dyeing, and the oil corner only pigments black hair. However, it is worth mentioning that there are people who apply it with paint or toners in dark tones, especially at home, so the idea is spread that white hairs are covered.
• Straighten your hair? The answer here is also no. The procedure will not straighten the hair, nor will it dye it. Also because it does not contain any component that promotes straightening.
