How To Make a Hair Oil Treatment

Remember the time when shampoo was the only thing you used to care for your hair? Those simpler days seem like a long time ago. Hair conditioner was formulated and was the next staple ingredient for your hair. Then the world gave you mousse, gel, and the colorants that promised better looking manes. When you realized that beautiful does not equate to healthy, it was too late. Your hair has been damaged. Over processed hair that is frizzy, dry and has split ends needs a new savior. Hot oil is the new trend in salons and beauty parlors. This hot oil's claim to fame is restoring the natural oil of your hair, which gets rid of the damage done from styling.

Getting a hair oil treatment at a salon can be costly. The good news is that this oil treatment can be carried out in the comfort of your own home. All that you need is a few minutes for preparation, and several items available in your home. Here's how to make your own hair oil treatment.

1. Oil treatment can be as easy as getting a coconut oil or olive oil, whichever you prefer.
2. Heat it either in a pan or in the microwave. Do not boil.
3. Once warm, you can apply it by putting a small amount in your hand and then spreading it thinly in your hair. It is not advisable to pour the oil directly in your hair.
4. After applying the oil in the strands of your hair, you can massage the oil into your scalp.
5. Put on a shower cap or just wrap a towel around your hair. Wait for 30 to 45 minutes before rinsing.
6. Finally, you can proceed with shampooing your hair.

The method and ingredients above are the most basic. It actually depends on you which type of oil relief to utilize. What's important is to choose natural and chemical free ingredients. Since you want your damaged hair to become healthier, adding chemically produced oil does not make sense. The following are natural oil additives that you can use to create homemade oil in just a few minutes by using different kinds of plants:

1. soybean oil mixed with dried rosemary leaves
2. coconut oil mixed with curry leaves
3. a mixture of ginger root extract, lemon juice and sesame oil
4. engine treatment mixture of egg, vinegar and coconut oil
5. olive oil and honey

If you want an aromatherapy mixture, choose a blend of soybean oil, oil of sandalwood, oil of lavender and oil of geranium.

Restoring your hair's natural beauty after using damaging products is not as hard as you may think. Imagine the money and time that you can save when doing all these at home. No more waiting and relying on your hairdresser for emergency bad hair days. This homemade treatment will not only take care of your hair, it will also relax and de-stress you. Try it and see for yourself.
