DIY Hot Oil Treatment

Those of us with hair  us are all to familiar with the dryness, dead ends and fragility that come from chemical treatments, dye jobs, bleaching and hot tools. Hair can become brittle and even break off without proper care.

There are a TON of masks and treatments on market that aim to prevent dryness and breakage. The unfortunate thing is some of these treatments can be a tad pricey. If you're like me and like to get a lot of product for a little money, I've got a great treatment for you to try! There are only 3 ingredients and you can get  all at any grocery store. 

When I was younger there was a treatment called V05 Hot Oil, this is a take on that. To make your treatment, you will need:

1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/4 Cup Avocado Oil

1/4 Cup Almond Oil

(if you can't find avocado or almond oil, melt 1/4 cup coconut oil in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time and mix in)

Mix all 3 oils together and heat for 20-30 seconds and apply to dry hair. Really saturate your hair.  Put your hair up with a clip, cover with a shower cap and then a towel. Leave on for 1 hour then rinse and shampoo well, condition as normal. 

I like to pour the mixture in a spray bottle then bend over my tub and spray it in. I also like to use a towel that is meant for babies. They are just the right size and not bulky. I wear this treatment to bed sometimes, just put an old pillow case on your pillow. Or sleep on a towel. 

My hair is so soft and shiny after this it's insane. Plus, this mixture lasts forever and a little goes a long way! If you're having issues with dryness or heat damage, give it a try!
