Before I got really serious about hair care, I used to use the V05 ones pretty regularly. I honestly never saw a difference, so I stopped using them. I haven't used one in years now and my hair is more healthy then ever. Even when I was using them, I was never really sure what they were supposed to be doing exactly.

I use them every now and then. I don't see a need to do them regularly.

same thing with me! Sometimes I thought my hair seemed softer or easier to detangle, but, I think it was psychological.

Bingo! I agree about it being psychological. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I agree with everyone else...I did them for a while back in my teenage years, only because my mother used to give them to me when I was little. It never made much difference, and I don't think my hair has suffered at all.

Same here. Oils in my conditioner are enough, but doing hot oil treatments hasn't benefited my hair... they just made a mess.

Ditto /images/graemlins/smile.gif I have much better results with adding the oil than I ever did with the oil by itself.

I dont either, for the same reason that everyone else said and its time consuming.

I dont do hot oil treatments only because I never heard of them before I got to the forum and still dont see the purpose of doing one. I heard that they make your hair softer and my hair has been feeling hard lately so I might I have to do one. I just dont know the best oil(s) to use for a hot oil treatment.

I dont do them and i dont think my hair has suffered. It is growing and maintaining length. i dont do them just because i havent in years to busy trying other new things. but i do use oil just not heated
Wow, I thought EVERYBODY did them /images/graemlins/laugh.gif Thanks for the replies ladies /images/graemlins/smile.gif
I'm starting to think my hair doesn't like them at all. Everytime I do one my hair tangles. It sort of "groups"/ "pastes" my hair together. I can't figure out why. I think it's been the source of my tangling issues for the last while. Every wash I HAVE NOT done one my hair was VERY EASY to comb, like butter. And like you said keylargo it makes my hair shed. I loose 50% less hair (from breakage and shedding) when I DO NOT do a hot oil treatment. How strange?! I wonder why that is???? HMMM!
I think I'll skip them for a month and see where my hair is at that point.
Question: I thought they were good for elasticity but it seems like you could try and get elasticity from conditioners like Keraphix and Emergencee as well?
Since it doesn't make my hair shiny and I can get elasticity from conditioners...I really don't see why I should continue with them /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I did when my hair was dry and breaking and shedding due to medication. But now that things are back to normal, I have not used them since 2001. I put the oils in my conditioner... or on my ends only when necessary. Since my hair is very flyaway and light cottony, too much of any product will weigh my hair down and plaster it to my scalp or make it stick together. So the less I use the better it is. Do you ladies think that in certain cases we can fall into the trap of "substituting oil for grease" or trying to control or manage the hair by overloading it with oil? I now use a homemade primarily distilled water based moisturizer to which I add very little oil and a great NoN protein conditioner and mist very tiny amounts and smooth onto sections of my hair. Less than 1/8 tsp in total and it has never looked better. The mixture is like a runny creamy lotion that I keep in a spray bottle and gives superb moisturizing benefits as well as adds a great protective coating to the hair strands without weighing them down. Something you might want to play around with and see what works for you instead of oversaturating hair with oil. The healthier your hair becomes the more it wants to bounce and shine. /images/graemlins/laugh.gifBonjour

I don't do hot oil treatments, but like most around here I put a little oil (olive or jojoba) on my hair every day.

Faith, I think you and I have the same type of hair. We tend to like the same products too. I just wish I had half of your length /images/graemlins/frown.gif I have come a long way though.
I like to use oil in my conditioners sometimes. A mixture of oil and water in a spray bottle works well too. My hair loves wildgrowth oil best.

I stopped using hot oil treatments because I really didnt see much of a diffrence either. I do use oils to moisturise during the day though.

I stopped using homemade hot oil treatments because I just don't have the time. I'll occasionally use a tube one though.
