hair oiling
Lubricating the scalp
Hair oiling is the practice of applying oil to the scalp and hair to moisturize, strengthen, or promote growth.
The practice has deep roots in South Asian, African, and Caribbean cultures, where it often involves massage and may be a ritual of care between family members.
