How to Make a Homemade Olive Oil Hair Treatment
There is hope for your unruly, dry and damaged hair, and you can find everything you need at any supermarket. It's really simple to mix up a batch of homemade olive oil hair treatment to calm down those frazzled frizzies.
You Will Need:
- 2 Towels
- Large Hair Clip
- Measuring Cup
- Spoon
- 1/2 to 1 Cup Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 drops scented Essential Oil
- Small Microwave Safe Bowl
- Plastic Shower Cap
Directions:
- Drape a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothing. Use an old towel that doesn't matter, because it may be difficult to get the oil out later.
- Measure the olive oil and the essential oil of your choice into the small microwave safe bowl and stir the mixture with a mixing spoon. The amount of oil to use depends on the length of your hair.
- Place the bowl containing your olive oil hair treatment into the microwave and heat for 1 minute. Adjust the time according to the amount of oil.
- Allow the mixture to cool for a minute, and test the temperature with the tip of your finger before applying to your hair.
- Use you hands to saturate your hair with the warm oil treatment. Rub the mixture gently into your tresses, concentrating on the ends.
- Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap, and leave the mixture on for 2 hours.
- Massage some of the remaining oil onto your legs and arms to soften your skin. When you are finished, dry your hands with a towel.
- After the required time, rinse your hair well with warm water, and wash with a good conditioning shampoo.
Your hair will be sleek and shiny after your olive oil hair treatment, and the deep conditioning should last a month. Save any unused mixture in a plastic bottle and store it in a cool, dry place.
