1. Hot Oil Treatment
Hot oil treatment is the application of carrier oil or oil made from a variety of ingredients to the hair. These oils are heated because they need to be hot enough to penetrate deeply into the scalp.
If you don’t know how to give your hair the hot oil treatment, now here are some steps to help you and you can follow step by step.
Step 1: Select the proper oil
Before starting a hot oil treatment for your hair, you need to choose the best oil for you based on your scalp and hair type. Coconut, jojoba, olive, and almond oils are commonly used in thermal oil treatment. Tips: If you have an oily scalp, opt for light oils such as olive and almond oils. However, if you have very dry hair, choose a thicker oil, such as coconut oil.
Step 2: Heat the oil
Heat the oil of your choice for a few seconds until it's warm (but not hot).
Tips: Test the temperature on the handle before applying the oil to your hair.\
Step 3: Apply the oil to your scalp
Apply the oil to the scalp and massage the scalp in small circles with your fingers.
Step 4: Use a wide-toothed comb
Once the oil is distributed throughout the scalp, use a wide-toothed comb to pull the product to the ends of the hair.
Step 5: Wait for 20-30 minutes
Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap and allow the oil to sit in your hair for 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 6: Rinse your hair
Finally, rinse off the oil with water. Shampoo and conditioner can also be used if desired.
2. Deep Conditioning
Deep conditioning uses a DIY or over-the-counter deep conditioner on the scalp and hair, paired with steam or moist heat to boost the penetration of the formula into the hair. The aim is to recover dry, damaged hair by rebuilding the hair's molecular layers and replenishing moisture, leading to thicker, softer, and more vibrant hair.
Step 1: Choose the right deep conditioner
Before deep conditioning your hair, you need to choose the right deep conditioner or DIY hair mask according to your hair type. If you want to know how to do a DIY hair mask, you can read:
Step 2: Wash your hair
As deep conditioning treatments work best when hair is clean, you need to wash your hair with warm water.
Step 3: Apply the deep conditioner to the hair
Carefully apply the deep conditioner to the hair shaft. If you want them to be evenly distributed throughout your hair, you can use a wide-toothed comb. Be careful not to get the product too close to the hair roots.
Step 4: Wait for about 30 minutes
Put on a shower cap or wrap your hair in a towel, and let the deep conditioner sit on your hair for about half an hour. Tips: Since different products come with different instructions, you can also follow the instructions that came with the product.
Step 5: Rinse your hair
Finally, wash your hair with cold water to close the hair cuticle. Let hair air dry for best results.
