Hot oil treatments??

[vonte422]

I washed my hair tonight and I did an oil rinse with organics olive oil and I noticed the bottle had hot oil treatment directions. so I came online and tried to find the benefits of it, with little to no luck. I decided to try it friday when I go to the Dominicans. But instead of just oil, Im going to mix my organics olive oil, with coconut oil, honey, a lil motions cpr or some miss keys (do you think thats too much?). but just wondering if anyone does HOTS and has it helped you?

I do weekly (4-5 days) hot oil treatments instead of deep conditioning (while in the desert) It helps my hair alot especially compared to the way some of the other black womens hair look, hell everyone elses too...the water here is terrible!! (we can't even brush our teeths with it) And its super dry here...so my hair is constantly needing to be revitalized.

What exactly do hot oil treatments do?

My cousin, who is a hair stylist with her own shop in Phila, told me its so important to do a hot oil treatment every week. She has long hair, BSL, and so does all of her clients.

Here is why I think hot oil treatments benefit the hair:

OK. Interesting. I was also reading some hair care article where they advocated rotating moisturizing and protein conditioners with hot oil treatments. I just wasn't sure what the hot oil treatment was doing. So it conditions the hair? Hmmmm..... I might try it to see what results I get.

OK... Back with another question.

Do you do hot oil treatments after you shampoo?

when i started getting into hair about 3-4 years ago, i was always told that hot oil treatments were a nonsense and another black haircare myth.

I do mine a little differently. On dry hair I oil my scalp heavily and then apply the castor oil liberally to the ends of my hair. I cover with plastic wrap then sit under the dryer for 15 minutes. Shampoo and deep condition and my hair feels like butta! You can definitely tell the difference. It's become a part of my regimen especially since my hair is so dry in the winter. It has drastically cut down on my shedding

I use hot oil treatments a pre-poo once a week. I put the oil on, put on a plastic cap, and sit under the dryer for 20-25 minutes (I think I am the only person I know who actually LIKES sitting under the hair dryer). Then I wash and condition my hair as normal. I can definitely feel and see a difference in my hair if I skip the pre-poo for more than one week.
