Can anyone answer my question about hair?

Question

How do I go about giving myself a hot-oil treatment for my dry hair? Details please.

Answer 1

Hi, I have used Alberto VO 5 hot oil treatments. Just wash your hair and towel dry, then apply the product and cover your head with a plastic cap. Leave on for at least a 1/2 an hour, then rinse out. This has worked well for me in the past as I color my hair all the time. I, also, suggest you use a good conditioner every time you wash your hair, then it won't get so dried out and you won't need to do the hot oil treatments very often. I use Infusium or Pantene conditioners. Hope this helps. Smiles and good luck !

Answer 2

Your best bet is to NOT give yourself a hot oil treatment at all.
My problom with hot oil treatments is that it masks your problom and will only end up weighing down your hair. Oil and water don't mix, therefore, the some of that oil will end up staying in your hair and making it feel as though it needs a good wash and it will look like it as well!
The best thing that you can do is to get a good deep conditioner from your local beauty supply store or salon and ask them to tell you what to do and how you should care for your hair. It may sound as though you are being "sold", however, if you are going to a reputable salon or store, but professionals will NOT steer you wrong for fear of having thier good name turn bad.
I hope you go and get a good treatment from a pro. You will thank me for it later!! LOL :o)

Answer 3

Perhaps you can merely get a haircut to get some of the dryness out of your hair. How about some long layers and a bit off of the ends should be much longer lasting than a hot-oil treatment or protein conditioner treatment.

Answer 4

I mixed 4 tablespoons of olive oil with 3 tablespoons of conditioner (this might be too much for those with shorter or less thick hair--I needed this much to generously soak about the bottom 12-14 inches (ie ends) of very thick curly hair) and heated it until it was very warm (but not hot). I divided my hair so half lay over each shoulder, and wet the length of hair I was going to treat (only the ends of my hair need hot oil treatments; the rest of my hair only needs regular conditioning) with very warm water to open the pores so my hair could soak in as much of the oil as possible. Then I generously soaked each fourteen inch hair bundles with the oil and conditioner mixture, running and working it through every bit of my hair. When I was sure every centimeter of my hair was soaked and it was all evenly distributed, I took a couple feet of plastic wrap and wrapped each section in it, wrapping more around the ends so the oil would not drip off. This was right before bed, so I could sleep while the oil soaked into my hair. The next morning I took off the plastic wrap and braided my hair into a bun for the day--I did not want to braid it until my hair had about 12 hours to soak in the oil. The longer you let it soak into your hair, the softer your hair will be.

Answer 5

Well, I was suggest an inexpensive way to do it. Purchase oil for your hair (sometimes it comes in a little tube). Then warm up water or put water in a kettle.(thus creating hot water). When the water is hot, but not boiling, put the oil package in the cup. Let it soak for a while, then open the oil up and treat your hair. That's what I do. Good luck! :)

Answer 6

Answer 7

Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Treatment

How to use it (BEFORE Shampooing)
Place an unopened tube in a cup of hot water for one minute. Before shampooing, massage content of tube into wet hair. Leave on up to one minute. Rinse hair and scalp thoroughly. Shampoo as usual. Use weekly or more often as needed.

The heating part is important, as it heats up the oil and activates it on your head. You can also get the same results by putting a super thick conditioner in your hair, tying it up, going for a long run, and then coming back, and washing it out. The heat, is what activates the product to really absorb into your hair.
