Natural Hair Care for Fall: Hot Oil Treatment


The fall season is the driest season when it comes to Natural Hair. We like to incorporate monthly hot oil treatments into our hair care regimen.

We use a mixture of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. You can sit this mixture in a cup filled with hot water. When mixture is warm, apply to hair, cover hair with plastic cap and a warm towel. Leave on for at least 1 hour to ensure that the oils penetrate fully into your hair.
 
OR

You can do what we do:
  • Spritz hair with warm water
  • Saturate hair with oils and cover hair with a plastic cap
  • Sit under a medium heated hooded dryer for 30 mins



Here is the result
Soft! Shiny hair!


Hair with leave in conditioner
