Benefits of Hot oil treatment

There are so many things we have to keep up to ensure a healthy hair. Co-Washing, pre-poo, deep conditioning treatment, protein treatments, black and green tea rinse, Apple cider rinse. Is it really worth it? Yes it is worth it. Because each of these has its own benefits and for you to grow longer and healthier hair, you have to break that bond keeping you at same length.

Hot oil treatment should be part of your hair regime. I would recommend doing this before every wash day especially for those with damaged hair.

Why do I need this hot oil treatment?
There are so many importance attached to using this treatment. Such as:

1. Because it has a conditioning effect to the hair and scalp, it can restore hair to a very good condition. This will be very essential for those with damaged hair. 

2. It reduces frizzy hair and gives our hair full body and bounce.

3. If you use chemicals on your hair or heat such as straightner, curling iron etc. A Hot oil treatment will infuse moisture to the hair shaft by penetrating into  the hair and help heal damage.

4. Our scalp also feel moisturised and our hair feels shiny and soft.

How to do a hot oil treatment
A hot oil treatment is very easy. All you will need is:
●Any oils of your choice (shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil).
●  Boiled water

Mix the oils of your choice together in a container,  boil some water in a separate container, let the mixture sit on the water for about 5 minutes.

Part your hair into four or six sections and begin application, focusing on the scalp and ends, massage into the hair.

Cover your hair with a plastic cap. If possible, keep it on till the next day but weave the parted hair. Or you can sit under a hooded dryer for 15 to 30 minutes. The heat form the hooded dryer will help open your cuticles and allow oils to penetrate.

Wash your hair with a shampoo and condition afterwards.

Everyone can benefit from a hot oil treatment. Be it natural, transitioning, texlaxed, dyed hair. Hot oil treatment will help your hair recover form a lot of damages.
