You don’t need a salon appointment or a fancy hair spa to make the most of this tip. Newman’s method is simple, efficient, and incredibly soothing.
1. Start with sections.
Divide your hair into manageable chunks—this helps you apply the oil evenly and ensures you’re not pulling on larger, more tangled areas all at once.
2. Apply the oil.
Take a quarter-sized dollop of argan oil (Newman swears by Trader Joe’s 100% Organic Argan Oil) and rub it between your palms to warm it up. Apply from root to tip, working the oil through each section with your fingers.
3. Take your time.
Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to gently work through the strands. Start at the ends and slowly work your way up. Feel free to add more oil if needed—there’s no such thing as over-conditioning here.
4. Show your scalp some love.
With any extra oil on your hands, give yourself a mini scalp massage. This not only feels amazing but also boosts circulation and helps relieve any tension in the roots. Think of it as a pre-wash bonus treatment.
5. Let it sit.
Newman recommends letting the oil soak in for about 30 minutes before hopping in the shower. It’s a nourishing ritual that doubles as a deep conditioning treatment.
