Daily hair grooming habits such as washing, brushing, and styling can cause a lot of damage to our hair, leaving it dry and frizzy. A solution to it would be Hot Oil hair treatment which has been around for several decades and it is extremely beneficial in improving dry and frizzy hair. Hot oils are able to penetrate the hair shaft much better and help to deeply nourish the hair. The treatment is suitable for all types of hair and it is important to choose the right type of oil for your hair texture condition. We will be talking about the different types of oils below.

1. Olive Oil 

         A very rich natural oil that I am sure most of us are familiar with, it can be used to deeply moisturize and nourish the hair. Olive oils are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats, which makes it the perfect remedy to dry and itchy scalp . Additionally, olive oil can help to fight bacterial infections and strengthen the hair by improving blood flow in the scalp which prevents dandruff. 

Ps: Sweet Almond Oil is a good alternative to olive oil! 

2. Coconut Oil

         There are many benefits to using Coconut oil on the hair, it helps to hydrate the hair and tame the frizz. Coconut oil is mainly made up of a medium-chain fatty acid, lauric acid, which gives coconut oil a long, straight structure which helps it more easily be absorbed into the hair shaft. DIY hot oil treatment with coconut oil will give a new life to your hair and makes it healthy, bouncy, and voluminous. 

3. Lavender Essential Oil

         Using Lavender Essential Oil in combination with the DIY Hot Oil hair treatment will help to add an extra notch. Lavender oil helps to condition the hair, promote hair’s health and growth! An extra bonus will be that it smells amazing!
