HOT OIL TREATMENTS

HOT OIL TREATMENTS

what are the main benefits of hot oil treatments – do they really strengthen your hair?

Of course, yes. Most plant oils are great for strengthening and moisturizing the hair. Other benefits include;

  • Decreased scalp and hair dryness
  • Relieves dandruff
  • Enhanced blood circulation to the scalp, which boosts your hair health.

Are there any safety tips to keep in mind? (For instance, should those with eczema or psoriasis steer clear?) Who’s the ideal candidate for this treatment?

Safety is key when using hot oil treatments regardless of the fact that they are plant-based.  People with sensitive skin should use oils that are 100% natural or mixed with synthetic formulations. For more safety, begin by applying a small amount on your elbow some days before using it. Suppose there is no itchiness or rushing after one day, then go ahead with application. People that react to the product can try varied options to find the most suitable for their skin.

What are the best hot oil products or ingredients out there right now?

Less fatty oil may work for people with oily scalp or hair. I also recommend almond and jojoba products because they are absorbed faster. Dry hair goes well with coconut oil. Other ingredients include avocado, olive, and argan.

Thanks! Phone, email, or voice memo all work well.
