Hot oil treatments have far reaching benefits in comparison to the typical conditioner. They make your dry, rough hair softer, smoothen up the cuticle, moisturize your scalp and repair the damages caused due to harsh weather conditions.
Hot oil treatments have also been used by beauticians in the treatment of split ends and dandruff.
As the hot oil penetrates through your hair to reach the follicles, it repairs damaged, dried out follicles by restoring moisture. The hot oil also forms a protective outer layer over your hair, giving it a shiny, conditioned look and protecting it from harsh weather conditions, chemicals and pollution at the same time.
Massaging your hair with hot oil also improves its texture and removes frizz. The hot oil strengthens the roots of your hair, fortifies brittle hair and prevents hair breakage.
So, how do you go about getting a hot oil treatment?
You can book a hot oil massage session with your beautician or buy products off the shelf and use them at home. You can also mix some of your favorite essential oils and pamper yourself with a hot oil treatment at home.
Choosing the right essential oils is very important as some types of oil may not suit your hair. Make a hot oil mix based on your hair type:
Jojoba Oil – works best for oily hair.
Coconut Oil – helps remove dandruff, apart from infusing your hair with shine and softness.
Avocado Oil – is one of the most salve and moisturizing essential oil, great for dry, frizzy hair.
Castor Oil – works best on oily hair because of its “drying” properties. Castor oil is also great for curing thin brittle hair.
Sesame Oil – is known to cure thinning hair and slows down hair loss.
A little research will take you through a myriad of essential oils that each address specific hair problems. Pick the ones that address your most critical hair emergencies.
Take around half a cup of the oil(s) of your choice, add in a dash of honey or some herbs like aloe, sage, and rosemary. You could even add ground coffee (optional); mix all the ingredients well. Heat the oil on a low flame, while constantly stirring the mixture, till it is hot enough.
Apply the oil onto the roots of your hair first and work downwards, slowly, to the tip of your hair. Cover the length of your hair with the warm oil and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Rinse with water or shampoo it off. Avoid extensive styling to enjoy the best results of your weekly hair regime.
