what is a hot oil treatment ?
A hot oil treatment is the use of natural oils to moisturize and prevent damage in all types of hair. This type of treatment is especially necessary for African American hair.
It replenishes proteins and minerals loss due to the use of heated tools, relaxing, coloring or other chemical processes.
You can use any of your favorite oils, you can use 1 oil or you can mix many depending on what your hair needs. Olive oil is a very popular oil for doing a hot oil treatment, because you can find it anywhere and it is great for your hair.
Coconut oil is another great choice coconut has so many benefits plus it helps to promote hair growth!
Both of these oil will add strength and shine to your hair.
a few different oils
Jojoba oil can also be used in the mixture.
castor oil helps hair with thickening.
grape seed, shea and avocado oil, help to re-hydrate.
Adding tea tree, peppermint or rosemary will help to stimulate your scalp,
and put a end to a itchy scalp!
You can mix any or all of these oils together in small amounts, and place them in an applicator bottle.
application
Apply the hot oil directly to your scalp using the tip of the applicator bottle.
Massage the oil on to your scalp, then apply the oil to the entire hair shaft.
Be sure the oil is evenly distributed and an ample amount is applied to the ends.
this will help to seal and protect your ends from splits and breakage.
Place a shower cap on your head and sit under a hooded dryer for 15-20 minutes.
If you do not have a hooded dryer you can moisten a towel and warm it in the microwave.
what I do is heat the oil in the microwave, I heat it for 15-25 seconds, make sure to always test the heat of the oil on your wrist before applying it on to your scalp.
make sure it’s not too hot, then apply it to your hair and scalp leave it on,
for minimum of 15 minutes.
I usually keep mine on for an hour because I have no life lol .
Once your time is up make sure to wash your hair, remove the oil by washing it out
with warm water and shampoo.
I wash it out by doing a light shampoo or a cowash, i do this because i do not
want to re-strip my hair of all of the oil and moisture that i just added to it.
So try it out some time ladies, i guarantee your hair will feel a lot better this way
then with the store brought oils.
