Can You Oil Hair After a Keratin Treatment? Yes, and Here’s How

You got the smooth finish. You’re loving the frizz-free days. But does that mean no more hair oil? Not at all.

In fact, oiling is one of the best ways to keep your scalp and strands healthy after a keratin treatment—if done the right way.

Why You Still Need Hair Oil

• Keratin coats the hair but doesn’t nourish your scalp.
• Oil helps prevent post-treatment dryness.
• It keeps your roots strong for healthier regrowth.

Oiling Rules After Keratin

• Wait 10–14 days after the treatment to start oiling.
• Apply only to mid-lengths and ends.
• Leave on for 1–2 hours, not overnight.
• Always wash with a sulfate-free shampoo.
