Hot Oil Treatments

This is a old post I had sitting in Drafts for a while. Hope it helps someone.


Hi there! So today I did a MUCH needed hot oil treatment. My hair recently has been dry, brittle, & in need of moisture. I have been keeping up with my moisturize & seal treatments every night (even when I was out of town) but that was not enough. I used a mixture of extra virgin olive oil & raw shea butter (white). I almost burned it up on the stove, but I caught it in time.

A couple tips when doing an at home hot oil treatment:

1. Use a great essential oil like olive oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, or melted shea butter.
2. Saturate your hair, concentrating on the ends.
3. THE OIL DOES NOT NEED TO BE HEATED IF YOU ARE GOING TO SIT UNDER THE DRYER.
4. If you do decide to heat the oil, make sure it is not scalding hot to cause burns or discomfort to yourself.

Here are a couple videos and links about the benefits of a hot oil treatment! Enjoy & healthy hair!

I'm back!! Again.

I have fell completely off the bandwagon with this blogging thing but I am back!! And have some great stuff to talk about with my own transitioning journey & just random hair talk.

I am currently 1year, 2 days post relaxer. I am wearing my hair in a braid-out as of today & I love it! (I'll post a pic later) But for now, this pic of me rocking some kinky twists will have to do! Enjoy!!
