This hot oil hair treatment will help keep your hair soft and lustrous, and will help to strengthen and protect your hair. The beautiful, plant-based oils can also help soothe dry, irritated scalps.
Together with Shea Butter, Coconut Oil has historically been used to the treat hair and scalp. Most home-made “hot oil treatments” tend to be very difficult to wash out, so we have included Polysorbate, a surfactant to help the oils rinse free after doing their job.
If you are using an amber glass bottle to store this product, it may thicken or “set” in winter and cool weather. Simply remove the lid, and microwave the bottle on medium low for 30 seconds to liquify the oils again. Shake and then apply.
This product is unscented, but if desired, simply add a few drops of your favourite fragrance or essential oil blend.
If you would like an oil that is always liquid, (using as a cold oil treatment) substitute the regular Coconut Oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil.
