Hi Everyone!!!
This is Diva Desert Locs coming at with a quick DIY hot oil treatment.
First you will need 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil depending on the length of your hair.

Then you will need to add 5 drops of Essential Oil.
Depending on my mood I will use pure Peppermint or Lavender oil. For example, since Peppermint oil is known to open and cleanse your pores it usually gives me that fresh and awake feeling.

And Lavender oil is a calming oil so it usually gives me that calming feeling while it is soothing my scalp and stimulating my hair follicles.

Then warm your oil in the microwave for 25 to 30 seconds. Distribute the oil to your scalp and hair. Make sure to massage the oil into your scalp really good and then cover with a plastic cap. From this point you can use a heating cap or a warm towel and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. FYI if you have long locs a warm towel will work best. Rinse and clarify your hair and you are done.
Heey, thanks for joining my new journey and sharing your experiences.
ReplyDeleteI will have to give the lavender a try. I recall trying this out way back when but with the lavender plant leaves mixed in (online recipe), my hair was so dry. I hope the essential oil works better, it's so good for a good night's sleep at least :D
