CHOOSE THE RIGHT OIL

Coconut, olive, or argan oil are the most effective. They absorb really deep, and they provide the much needed hydration that my hair so desperately needs and they tame the frizz from the inside out.

WARM THE OIL PROPERLY

Heat oil gently until warm. Not only is it dangerous, but it can also burn your scalp and hair cuticles which in turn makes it less affective, so avoid extreme temperatures.

APPLY TO SCALP AND HAIR

Rub the hot oil all over your head making circular movements. This increases blood flow and makes the hair stronger from the root which helps it grow out a lot healthier.

COVER WITH A WARM TOWEL

Place a hot towel over your head for 20-30 minutes. It opens the cuticle and allows the oil to penetrate better, keeping in the moisture and combating dryness and frizz.

RINSE WITH A MILD SHAMPOO

Use a sulphate-free shampoo to rinse out the oil. This cleans without wiping away all of the moisture that your hair just soaked in.

REPEAT WEEKLY

To maintain frizz-free hair, incorporate this treatment into your weekly routine.

STUDY FINDINGS

According to a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), oils like coconut can prevent protein loss in hair, reducing damage and improving texture.

CONCLUSION

Weekly hot oil treatments bring long-lasting smoothness and shine to hair. Consult trichologist for personalised advice.
