The Hair Slugging Method
Read on to learn more about hair slugging and how to make the method your own:
What is hair slugging?
Hair slugging is a method where one applies a hair oil to the ends of their hair, wraps the length of their strands in a sock, and secures the sock with a hair scrunchie. The longer you leave the oil on your hair, the better the results will be! Leaving the hair oil on overnight will offer plenty of time for your hair to absorb the hair oil and benefit from the nutrients in the formula.
Does hair slugging work?
It does! Hair slugging offers your hair a strong dose of hydration, moisture, and reparative elements which results in shinier and stronger hair. Using a sock and hair scrunchie over the treatment creates an occlusive environment and allows the hair to absorb the oil. Think about how soft your hair feels after a 10-minute hair mask! Now multiply that timeframe by an entire night of benefits and consider making hair slugging a regular part of your hair care routine. Once a week is an ideal frequency for hair slugging as you can oversaturate your hair if you do it more often than that.

Here is a step-by-step guide to hair slugging to help you through the process: Start off by choosing a hair oil that offers benefits tailored to your hair type.
