Here is a wonderful natural hot oil treatment I just love to use on my hair. Lots of foods we eat are also great to use as treatments on the external parts of our body. What is great about that, is if you are using them in your meals, then you most likely already have them on hand.

This is what I do to put moisture back into my hair. Add equal parts of olive oil and coconut oil to a microwave safe glass bowl. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds until warm. You can apply this to your hair one of two ways:

  1. Take the oil treatment into shower. Wash hair first to remove any dirt or product from hair. Squeeze hair to remove excess water, leaving hair just damp. Apply the hot oil and let sit for at least 5 minutes. Rinse out oil and wash hair throughly at least two times and then condition as usual.
  2. Apply oil to dry hair (if you use a lot of product you should wash hair first and apply to damp hair), Wrap a towel around your head and let sit for at least 5-10 minutes. Rinse out oil and wash hair throughly at least two times and then condition as usual.

Hair may appear a bit oily after your first wash, it is best to air dry and then place in a bun, braids or other updo. Next time you wash all oils will be removed and hair will be soft, shiny and smooth.

Another tip for applying, pour the warm oil into a travel shampoo bottle to help distribute it into the hair.

Do this once a week or a few times a month!
