Homemade Hot oil treatment

[Aprill]

Pour 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil into a large pan. Add 1/2 cup dried rosemary leaves, stirring in slowly. Place the pan on the stove and heat over medium heat until the oil is warm. This should only take a few minutes—do not make the oil too hot.

Step Two

Remove from the stove, and strain the oil to remove the rosemary leaves.

Step Three

Coat your hair from the scalp to the ends with the natural oil mixture. If your hair is normally oily, only use a small amount near the scalp. However, if your hair is extremely dry, saturate your entire head, paying special attention to the ends of your hair. This treatment will do wonders for severely split ends.

Step Four

Pile your hair on top of your head and wrap in plastic wrap.

Step Five

Heat up a damp towel in the microwave for 2 minutes or until quite warm. The towel should be steamy but not so hot that it burns your skin. Wrap the hot towel over your head.

Step Six

Sit for 20 minutes to let the oil absorb into your hair completely. This natural deep conditioning process is similar to the costly hot oil treatments at salons.

Step Seven

Remove the towel and plastic wrap from your head. Wash your hair twice with a gentle shampoo to remove all of the oil, and style your hair as usual.

Coool ! I think the rosemary would cover the nasty olive oil scent (i don't like my hair smelling like food)

 

[SqueeKee]

Yea, if all it's there for is scent, maybe I could replace it with something else?

 

[Lia]

Maybe mint or another fancy herb, lol

You could do a research to see what herbs are good for the hair, LOL
