Description
Experience the transformative magic of a luxurious hot oil hair treatment right at home with this easy and cost-effective recipe. Whether you’ve been a fan of V05 hot oil treatments or are seeking a more budget-friendly option, this simple method will leave your hair feeling rejuvenated and deeply nourished. The blend of olive oil and honey, infused with your choice of essential oil, works wonders to restore moisture and shine. For a soothing twist, eucalyptus is used, but lavender is an excellent alternative for a calming effect.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
- 2 tablespoons honey 🍯
- 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil (eucalyptus or lavender recommended) 🌿
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering a small plastic bag or a heatproof container. In this container, combine the olive oil and honey. Add the essential oil of your choice—eucalyptus for a refreshing experience or lavender for a calming touch.
-
-
Seal the Bag: Twist the opening of the plastic bag or cover the container without tying it, just enough to prevent any spillage.
-
Heat the Mixture: Boil a cup of water and pour it into a mug. Place the plastic bag or container into the mug of hot water. Let it sit until the oil mixture inside is comfortably warm.
-
Apply the Treatment: After the mixture is warm, remove the bag from the mug. Be careful to avoid burns—test the temperature with a small drop on your wrist if necessary. Gently apply the warm oil mixture to wet hair. Instead of pouring it directly, transfer the mixture onto your hands first and then distribute it evenly throughout your hair.
-
Wrap Your Hair: Once your hair is thoroughly coated with the oil treatment, wrap it up using a shower cap, a towel, or cling wrap. This helps to trap the heat and enhance the conditioning effect.
-
Relax: Enjoy a relaxing bath or shower for the next 20 minutes. The warmth will help the oil penetrate deeply into your hair, providing maximum nourishment.
-
Rinse and Wash: After the treatment time has elapsed, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. Follow up with your regular shampoo and conditioner to remove any excess oil and reveal soft, shiny hair.
