Hair slugging is a beauty trend gaining speedy popularity, involving applying a generous amount of hair care products, such as oils, serums or mask to damp hair before bedtime. This method creates a slug or coating over the hair and scalp, promoting deep hydration and amazing nourishment overnight. The next morning, the excess product is washed off, leaving hair smoother an more manageable. Hair slugging is a current trend due to its simplicity yet it goes back centuries when women, men and children in the South Asian and middle eastern cultures would ritualistically sit on the floor and have their maids, mothers and barbers give them a "teyl malish," or head massage with a palm full of natural hair oils. Whilst this produces an extremely relaxing feeling, benefits also include follicle stimulation, detangled, less knotty hair, healthy hair growth from the roots as well as softer, shinier hair that brushes through more easily.
WHAT HAIR TYPES CAN BENEFIT FROM SLUGGING?
Hair slugging is generally suitable for ANY hair type, as it helps enhance and define curls while providing hydration to those with dry or straight lengths and any types and hair of people of different ethnicities. However, it can also benefit all hair types within each ethnicity, by promoting moisture retention and hair growth stimulation.
