It Nourishes and Moisturises But since we're talking about both your hair and your scalp, you shouldn't only be concerned about potentially damaging your hair. If you have any skin condition, such as psoriasis or eczema, ask your doctor or dermatologist if a hot oil treatment is safe to use on your scalp. Although hot oil treatments use plant-based ingredients, that doesn’t mean they’re safe for everyone. "It is still possible to have an adverse reaction to the oil, especially if you have sensitive skin," says Dr. Green. "To reduce the risk of a reaction, look for oils that aren’t combined with synthetic ingredients and are 100 percent natural." Extreme Style Matt Clay– This is a pomade formulated to freeze your hair in any formation you’d like. It helps to impart both texture and definition to all textures of hair. If you’re unsure whether a hot oil treatment is safe for you, try doing a patch test a few days before using the product.

It’s hard to stay on top of all of our hair care needs when we are so busy! Enter hot oil treatment for our hair. A beloved hair care product that can deep condition the hair, hot oil treatments can seriously revive your strands, making them shiny, smooth and even frizz-free! When used as a part of your regular hair care regimen you may also be surprised at how they can help you with hair breakage, split ends, dryness and more. Read on to discover when you should be using a hot oil treatment in your life.

If you decide to try a hot oil treatment at home, use caution and, if using a store-bought product, follow the safety instructions.

Start by wetting your hair down with a spray bottle, and then detangle and separate your hair into four sections. Mix together equal parts extra virgin olive, avocado, and coconut oils, while heating up a bowl of water in the microwave—you'll then place your cup of oil into the bowl of hot water to warm it up. Next, smooth the oil through your hair in four sections, using a detangling comb to distribute the treatment all the way through the ends. Twist your hair into a bun or two and wrap your hair in plastic wrap and a cloth-lined shower cap to trap the heat. After a few hours, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. The takeaway After 20 minutes, completely rinse out the oil from your hair, and follow up with your normal conditioner. In summary, we do not recommend that you add VO5 products to your hair care product collection. They are more likely to do more harm to your hair than good because they are loaded with ingredients that can cause damage. Soy Milk Proteins –Soy milk proteins can protect your hair from breakage and thinning. Soy milk restores the strength and hydration that hair loses over time through styling and washing. VO5 uses soy milk protein in all its shampoos and conditioners within the Moisturizing Milks collection. On their own, hair oils are a great way to moisturise and hydrate your hair, but when heat is added to the mixture via a hot oil hair treatment, everything changes – for the better.

Dr. Green says before you use a hot oil treatment, make sure it’s right for your hair type and that you understand the safety risks. Because the oil usually needs to be heated, you do run the risk of burning yourself if you don’t let it cool down enough before applying it to your hair and scalp. Once you think it might be cool enough to use, Dr. Green says to first test the temperature by applying a small amount of the oil to your wrist before spreading it all over. At the end of the day though, Dr. Green says to keep in mind that "hair loss can seem overwhelming, which is why it is necessary to consult with a dermatologist who will assess your condition and explain all of your treatment options." She also adds that it's important to moisturize your dry scalp, depending on how often you wash your hair or if you frequently color your hair, because keeping your scalp healthy ensures that the hair follicles are hydrated and the breakage is minimized.

Moisture Milks Moisturizing Shampoo– This shampoo is formulated with soy milk which is full of proteins. These proteins help replace the proteins that the hair inevitably loses through styling, washing, chemical treatments, and heat styling. This product also contains the famous five vitamin and 5 oil blend that the VO5 brand is known for. Split ends are a nightmare and when left unattended for a long period of time, they’ll start to make their way up the hair shaft, causing breakage.

You Can Use Them on All Hair Types Methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone– These are two preservatives routinely used in VO5’s products. They are both known to cause allergic reactions, and they’ve been linked to lung toxicity and even neurotoxicity. First, wash your hair. Hot oil tends to work best on clean hair. This allows the oil to deeply penetrate the hair cuticle. If you are unsure whether a hot oil treatment is safe for you, try doing a patch test a few days before using the product. Don't know what a patch test is? Just apply a small amount of the ingredient or oil at room temp to the inside of your elbow and watch for any kind of reaction. If you don't develop any rash within 24 hours, then it should be safe to use. If you do have a reaction to the oil, test different hair oils until you find one that works best for you. Oil generally works as a moisture sealant, but when it’s warm, all the enriching ingredients (i.e. fatty acids) find it easier to penetrate into the hair shaft. This infusion helps restore any lost moisture and leaves your hair feeling lovely and nourished. 2. It Strengthens Hair
