Are hot oil treatments old school?

[lveurslf]

I did an hot oil treatment sunday, something I haven't done in almost a year. While I was sitting under the dryer with my jojoba oil in my head, I was wondering if conditioner washes have replaced hot oil treatments. Does anybody still do hot oil treatments?

Chile, everytime I deep condition ... I mix my concoction (wheat germ and garlic conditioners), add EVOO, zap it in the microwave just until warm and VIOLA.

I did one last Saturday, and my hair is loving it. It had been atleast 3 yrs since my last hot oil treatment. My hair has surely missed it.

I do every week and then I sit under the dryer for 20 minutes.

Hot oil treatments makes my hair limp and it gets dirty really fast. I also don't do them because it coats/seals my cuticles and my moisturizer just sits on my hair afterwards leaving a nasty buildup.

I still do them. I use L’Oreal Nature’s Therapy Hot Oil Botanical Treatment. I just mix it with my conditioner.

I thought sealing the cuticle was a good thing.

to those who do the hot oil treatments, do you do them on dry or wet hair?

 

[lveurslf]

I do it on wet hair, after I've washed and conditioned.

 

[senimoni]

I do it on dry hair.

It is a good thing but sort of a nuisance if you want to get extra moisture into your strands days later.

I'm all for old school. Here lately...like the past week...I've been contemplating adding a hot oil treatment to my weekly cleansing routine. I"m thinking EVOO, Sweet Almond, and/ or coconut oil. I'm lazy though so I' won't bank on it too much, especially if I have to drag the dryer out
