How Often Should You Give Your Hair Hot Oil Treatment
Hot Oil Hair Treatment
Hot oil treatment is one of the most effective ways to ensure that your hair looks and feels good. You can do it as often as you want. But with the regular schedules and busy routines of people this is no longer possible and if that is the case with you, you should at least use this treatment once a fortnight. First heat the oil, and then use the tips of your fingers to massage it into your scalp. You can use either coconut oil or olive oil for this purpose since both are equally effective. You can also add pieces of dried lemon peel to the oil and allow the essence to steep in the oil. This oil can be stored and used regularly. You can also boil dried pieces of Indian gooseberry in coconut oil. When the pieces become black they can be removed from the oil, and the oil can be stored and used to massage hair regularly. However you should know that merely oiling the hair regularly will not ensure that your hair looks good. In addition to this you should also ensure that you use a good quality shampoo. You should stay away from shampoos which are very harsh since these strip the natural oils from the hair and leave your hair looking dry and brittle. You should use a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Also avoid washing your hair with very hot water since this can be very harmful to the hair. Instead use water that is lukewarm or normal temperature. You should avoid using hair driers or any other heating apparatus on your hair on a regular basis, since this dries out your hair. When you go out you should take the precaution of covering your hair with a scarf or a hat so that it will not be affected by the pollution or the wind.
In addition to the hot oil treatment you can also try out various other treatments which will help strengthen your hair and ensure that it does not fall. Use fenugreek seeds to make an easy hair mask by grinding soaked seeds. This paste can be applied on the hair and scalp. Similarly a regular application of henna will help strengthen your hair. Soak the henna powder in the water in which a teabag has been steeped. Mix it and leave it out overnight in an iron skillet. In the morning, apply this on your hair and scalp. You will find that using the powder of dried Indian gooseberry is also very effective in keeping your hair looking healthy. Boil three tablespoons of the powder in water and leave it out overnight. In the morning apply this on your hair and then wash off.
