DIY HOT-OIL TREATMENTS

These are especially good for dry, frizzy and damaged hair that's prone to breakage. If you can’t spoil yourself at a salon, here’s how to do it yourself. S Put about 25-50 ml of oil in a cup and heat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. The amount of oil you use depends on the length and thickness of your hair. For short hair, you need about 25 ml, medium requires 40 ml and long hair 50 ml or more. Thick hair requires 15-20 ml more in each category. S Apply the warm oil to dry or damp hair, making sure all the strands are saturated. S Put a shower cap over your hair and wind a heated towel – preferably a damp one so it can steam up the cap – over the shower cap. Leave the shower cap and towel on for about 30 minutes. S Remove the towel then wash, condition and dry as usual.
