Hot oil treatment may not be as well-known as other types of hair treatment but it’s one of the best solutions for brittle and dry hair. We normally subject our hair to a lot that can affect our hair growth journey. Hot oil treatment provides a number of benefits to nourish your hair boosting its health. Here are some benefits of using this treatment and why you need to add it to your hair care routine.

    1. Boosts Blood Circulation To The Scalp

Blood circulation is important to stimulate hair growth and hot oil treatment can help in boosting circulation. Since you massage your scalp when using hot oil treatment, it increases blood flow thus improving the circulation in the scalp. Additionally, oils such as coconut oil are known to boost blood circulation. Therefore, it’s a great addition to your hair care routine especially if you want to boost hair growth.

  1. Prevents Dryness And Dandruff

Dryness is a leading cause of hair loss as it causes the hair follicles to weaken. As such, it’s important to keep your scalp well-moisturized. You can use hot oil treatment before shampooing your hair to prevent dryness caused by the product. You can also use it as a moisturizer by massaging it into your scalp, letting it sit for 30 minutes then rinsing it off. Within no time, you’ll have a healthy scalp and in turn, healthy hair.

Hair Care: Simple Home Remedies For Dandruff

  1. Increases Shine

Just like skin, dull-looking hair can be unattractive. Hair requires regular moisturizing so as to nourish the strands and make them appear more vibrant. Hot oil treatment is a rich source of moisture and it easily penetrates the hair follicles which nourishes both the roots and the strands giving you luscious-looking hair.

  1. Prevents Split Ends

Split ends not only look awful but also lead to hair breakage and can prevent your hair from growing longer. As such, it’s necessary to tame those ends to allow your hair to reach its full potential. If you don’t have time to go to the salon to get your ends trimmed, you can use hot oil treatment instead. It helps seal the end of your hair thus preventing split ends.

  1. Prevents Damage

As mentioned, we normally subject our hair to a lot including colouring and relaxing, which can damage the follicles. Hot oil treatment along with a deep conditioner helps to undo such damage and strengthen your hair. As such, it’s a must-have product if you have relaxed hair or you style your hair regularly using heat.

  1. Nourishes Your Hair

Since you can use a variety of oils including jojoba, olive, coconut, and many more, for hot oil treatment, your hair receives nourishment depending on the oil. For instance, olive oil helps treat fungal infections on the scalp. Therefore, depending on your needs, you can customize your treatment to get the most out of it.

How To Use

It’s easy to use this type of treatment and while there are store-bought hot oil treatments, you don’t have to spend money on expensive products.

  1. Choose the oil that you want to use.
  2. Ensure that your hair is clean before using the oil.
  3. Put 3 to 6 tablespoons of the oil in a container and microwave/heat lightly for 10 seconds.
  4. Test to see if it’s not too hot.
  5. Damp your hair and divide it into 4 sections.
  6. Apply the oil evenly and massage your scalp.
  7. Cover your hair with a shower cap and wait for 20 minutes.
  8. Rinse it out and use a normal conditioner.
