What I do is I have a mix of oils (EVOO, Carrot oil, Castor oil, pepermint oil-only a 3-4 drops, & cocoa butter). I put a cup of water in the microwave for about 3-4 mintues on high (or until boiling). I place the bottle in it, but not for too long. I test a drop of oil on my fingertip. I proceed to oil every inch of scalp with oil. I go to bed with a metalic cap on my head. Wake up the next morning, style it in my bun, go to work, come home and wash it out with a conditioning shampoo. I follow with a deep conditioner.

What kind of cocoa butter do you use??
sugaplum said:Hey ChosenbyGod,
I use the Queen Helen cocoa butter that comes in a stick. I think it's only $1.99 at the BSS. You have to melt this a few times though. What I did was get a boil of hot water and placed another bowl inside that to melt the cocoa butter. Let it cool off and harden up a bit, then melt it again. I know it's repetious but it's soooo worth it. Then I added the Hollywood's Carrot oil, EVOO, castor oil, & pepermint oil (this works great to stimulate hair growth).![]()
This is what I do once/wk. I then, sit under the dryer for 20 min and rinse it out.ChosenbyGod said:
I just add extra oils to my conditioner and do a deep condition and HOT OIL TREATMENT at the same time.
Is this the same as sitting under the dryer for 30 minutes? Also, I have been doing this with coconut oil. How do you know how much oil to use.sugaplum said:I do my hot oil treatment on Thursday night and I wash it out Friday night. This works wonders.
