your own hot oil treatment

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN OIL TREATMENT.

While you must have heard or read by now that hair in itself is a non-living entity that is produced by hair follicles – the living component that is in your scalp; there are still numerous reasons why you have to take care of your hair and continuously nourish it. Hair is made out of keratin and with enough care and treatment you would be able to maintain its natural glow, luster and strength.

You could always go to a parlor or a salon to get some form of hot oil hair treatment to make your hair extra smooth and shiny but that would cost you a lot of money. There are also hot oil creams that you could apply yourself at home but at the end of the day, these can still be some unnecessary expenses that simply could not be made in the face of a poorly performing economy.

If you want to have nice hair despite the floundering economy, try these techniques to improvise your own hot oil treatments at home.

Select natural oils that you can use for your own hot oil treatment. One of the most commonly used oils for this purpose is olive oil. Using oil on your hair can help make the hair strands less brittle and less prone to breakage. Dry and fragile hair can be bad especially if you do a lot of things to your hair. If you blow dry or put a lot of chemicals in your hair like dyes and similar
products it is possible that your hair is being damaged by what you are doing.
Combine different oils. This can help balance out the concoction. You may use various types of oils like carrot oil, grape seed oil and even castor oil. All natural oils have the ability to renew the natural ability of the hair to be shiny, smooth and soft to the touch. You may even use more exotic types of oil like jojoba and coconut oil. Both these oils have been known to have good effects on the hair and scalp.
Massage this oil combination your hair. Start from the scalp and make sure that you spread the oil from the base of your hair shaft to the very tip of it. This would allow you to really make each hair strand coated with the oil that would make it a lot healthier.
Activate the oil by going under a hair warmer. If you don’t have one, just get a towel and soak it in hot water. You may wrap it around your head and the effect would be very similar.
Rinse the hot oil off your hair with water and just stroke your newly rejuvenated mane of hair.
That’s how simple making your own hot oil treatment is. Just trick out some of the oil commonly found in your pantry and have fun with it!
