How do you do a hot oil treatment?

Best products to use: I use a mixture of vegetable oils---shea butter, castor oil, jojoba oil, vitamin e oil, almond oil etc.

Step by step: I put ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and melt them. I apply the warm oil to dry hair using the c&G method. I sit under the dryer for 20 min. Then I shampoo 2x to rinse it out.

Benefits: Protects hair from harsh shampoo detergents. Gives hair shine,managablility, strength and moisture.


****Note I just read on LHCF that some ladies put conditoner on dry hair first and then seal it with a hot oil treatment, let it sit and shampoo it out. I am going to try this technique and see if it is better.

i put the conditioner on first too, and then add the oils.

Thanks ladies. You have all been very helpful. I am going to try all your techniques!

Thanks Kellie!

I'll look her up!

come to think of it, i used to go to a hairdresser that would shampoo and condition my hair first. put the hot oil on and then put me under a hood dryer with a plastic cap. After that she would rinse my hair and then roller set me. my hair was soft and shiny..and the set would last for a week.  

So its best to put the oil on AFTER washing and conditioning????

Well I'm not even sure if this is right...but I usually heat up some oil olive (oil of your choice) then I rub it all over my hair and scalp.  Then I put a shower cap on and leave it long for an hour (or whatever you want too).
