How to Do a Homemade Hot Oil Treatment

A hot oil treatment restores the shine to dry, damaged hair; many stylists recommend a once-weekly treatment to keep locks in stellar shape. You don't have to run to the store to purchase a costly hot oil treatment or make an appointment at the salon. You probably even have the ingredients for a hot oil treatment right in your kitchen cabinet. The natural oils add needed moisture to thirsty, dry hair and help repair split ends and damage caused by styling aids such as blow dryers and flat irons.

Things You'll Need

3 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. honey
Saucepan
Spoon
Comb
Towel
Shower cap

Instructions
1
Combine the olive oil and honey in a saucepan and heat the mixture over high heat until it boils.

2
Take the saucepan away from the heat and allow the mixture to cool down. Stir the olive oil and honey so they're well blended.

3
Put the honey and olive oil mix onto your hair. Comb it through for best results. Wrap your hair in a towel or put it up in a plastic shower cap and leave the treatment on for between 15 and 30 minutes.

4
Shampoo your hair as normal.
