And the Award for Best Hot Oil treatment goes to...

[Lioness]

I've recently discovered the benefits of hot oil treatments, especially doing it overnight:

Shiny hair
Softer hair
More managable hair
Healthy hair due to added moisture

Just wondering what hot oil treatment is working for everyone.

I LOVE WGO!
it makes my new growth so soft!
but for hot oil treatments I use coconut oil, honey, evoo and castor oil. it works like a charm!

 

[Lorraine S]

I use evoo and essentials oils for my hot oil treatment.

I like sweet almond oil with a few drops of essental oils.

ETA: Monoi oil and shea butter (in liquid form) are also great oils for HOTs. I have mixed all of them with sweet almond oil, but stopped because it could be quite time consuming. I'm currently using Amla oil - hate the smell - very effective though.

 

[BerrySweet]

I've only tried EVOO, WGO is great but there's too little of it to be saturating my hair with it for a HOT.

 

[Jewell]

Queen Helene Hot Oil Cholesterol Treatment. Best one I have tried. I like EVOO as a pre-poo.

 

[nadz]

Nothing beats evoo for me!

 

[devin]

i really like castor oil and evoo! castor oil is sticky, but when it soaks in the next morning your hair is so soft it is unbelievable.

 

[Lioness]

Thanks ladies!
It's true that there is too little in the bottle to be using WGO as hot oil treatment!
Castor oil is brilliant! I would like to try Coconut oil as I used to use coconut, honey, Olive oil and CPR to deep condition and my hair loved it.
To be honest, I'm looking for a ready made hot oil treatment. I'm going to start doing overnight treatments with Castor oil, sage oil and olive oil.

What is this 'evoo' ?

Thanks ladies!
It's true that there is too little in the bottle to be using WGO as hot oil treatment! Although I know that it would work serious wonders because I heated it up, used it overnight on my scalp and 3-4" of my ends and my hair just felt rejuvinated! You could see a difference between the hair not with WGO and the hair with it.
I lurve Castor oil. It is brilliant but thick and sticky! I would like to try Coconut oil as I used to use a mixture of coconut paste, honey, Olive oil and Motions CPR to deep condition and my hair loved it.
To be honest, I'm looking for a ready made hot oil treatment. I'm going to start doing overnight treatments with heated Castor oil, coconut oil, sage oil , olive oil and maybe a tad honey, but I would still like to find a hot oil treatment which I can also use overnight, and wake up and get that "ooh, ahhh" effect

What is this 'evoo' ?
And what (benefits for the hair) is the difference between a deep conditioning treatment, and a hot oil treatment?

 

[Sweet C]

My special blend of EVOO, Jojoba oil, essential oils (rosemary, lavendar, and peppermint), and a little Taalijah Waajid oil is my favorite.

Also, EVOO alone works great too!

 

[shawniegee]

Castor Oil,EVOO,Coconut Oil, and amla(when I can stand the smell).

 

[Caramela]

Just plain old olive oil is the best imho.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

EVOO= Extra Virgin Olive Oil, this one does the job and it's so much cheaper compared to buying those little tubes all the time.

I agree! I'm amazed that something so cheap can work such wonders! I find it great for the hair, skin and food!

 

[MeechUK]

Apoghee Fatty Acids Concentrate, I add this to my conditioner and leave it on overnight, then CW the next day.

[RainbowCurls]

I found getting rid of the smell of alma oil quite difficult so haven't tried that again.
I haven't tried castor oil or wild growth oil.
I'm not sure if coconut oil is 'heavy' enough for hot oil treatments. I like to use it after washing and whenever my hair is dry.

I like olive oil for hot oil treatments.

 

[Ambitious1013]

My award goes to EVOO! Sometimes I add rosemary and peppermint.

 

[carameldiva]

plain ole castor oil or jamaica black castor oil does the trick for me.

 

[karezone]

loving coconut oil my mom got some a few months ago and I have been sneaking it a tablespoon at a time. I mix it in with my conditioner and sit under the bonnet dryer for 25 min. Hair comes out shiny and detangled.

 

[OnceUponAtime]

Salerm Wheat Germ Mask, although, I think I've tried them all and have no complaints. I just like the way my hair felt after a treatment of Salerm.

 

[dlewis]

I love all oils, most work for my hair.

amla
evoo
coconut
sweet almond
carrot
hot 10
emu
kemi
jojoba
honey almond
island oil
castor

As you can see I love oils. I have all of these but one in my cabinet.

 

[SparklingFlame]

Ya'll will probably laugh at me for asking this but, what the heck is a hot oil treatment exactly? I have heard of this all my lifr but I've never had one done or seen one done. Can somebody break it down?

 

[UmSumayyah]

My favorite is castor oil and coconut oil mixed with a dab of honey.
I dampen my hair and then add the oil. I put on a shower cap and then either tie on a scarf and leave it on a few hours, or sit under the dryer for 10 minutes on medium.
Then I blot out the excess oil with paper towels and shampoo and condition.

 

[Candy_C]

Wonder 8 oil is truly marvellous. i mix it with my humecto

Some people do it different ways, but I do a hot oil treatment as a pre-shampoo treatment on damp hair. I wet my hair, put the oil through my hair (last time I used olive oil w/ honey), cover the hair with a plastic cap and sit under low heat for about 20 minutes. Sometimes after the low heat I will leave it in for a couple more hours if I am just hanging around the house. Then shampoo and condition as normal.

 

[EbonyRose]

I'm still new to the oil thing but... is there anything wrong with mixing the oils together--i guess i'm asking will one cancel out the other? i'm using flaxseed, peppermint, wgo, jojoba, rice bran, carrot, tea tree, and dang i forgot the other one--anyways, please tell that i'm not about to create an explosion . I used them before and after i shampoo.

 

[camellia]

The BEST hot oil treatment I've ever had:

3 parts Unrefined Hemp Seed Oil
1 part Pure Carrot Oil
1 part Camelina Oil

Mix the oils in a microwave safe container and heat for about 15 seconds or until warm. Apply to clean damp hair. Cover with platic cap. Leave on for about 1 hour. Then rinse out and apply conditoner.

I just tried Razac's Precision Heat Complex (PHC) and I was really impressed. When I put it on I wasn't sure if I'd like it cause it suds up but my hair came out very soft and moisturized and not greasy at all. It is very concentrated and I will keep it apart of my regime.
