how often

[jellynote]

should I do a hot oil treatment?

Thanks

I do mine 1x/week.

You can do it whenever you feel your hair needs it (when it feels dryer than normal). Once per week is probably fine. I do one every other day before each shampoo.

I was told by a stylist that hot oil should not be used too often, as it reverts the hair that has been relaxed. The stylist said, never get hot oil the same day that you relax and only once a month. Now, I wonder if she knew what she was talking about.

I don't know, webby, but I really doubt it. I don't often do hot oil treatments per se, but my pre poo treatments are very close to hot oils and I haven't seen any "reversion"...if that even exists /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif.

Thanks ladies I didn't think hoy oil treatments would hurt me if Idid them once a week, but my beautician said that too much oil is bad for your hair because it'll way it down and clog your pores.

Never, if you ask me. I don't think there is much benefit to them.
