Episode 95: Are Hair Oils Actually Doing What We Think?

Hair oils have been part of textured hair care for generations...but are they doing everything we think they are?

In this episode of Unraveling the Knots, we unpack what oils can and cannot do for hair. From moisture and sealing to breakage, scalp care and hair-growth claims, this conversation separates useful oil practices from expectations that may be asking one bottle to do far too much.

We also explore how to respect ancestral hair knowledge while questioning modern marketing claims, why shiny hair can still feel dry, and how to use oils with a clearer purpose.

If oil is your answer to dryness, growth, protective styling and almost every hair emergency, this episode may change the way you use it.
