Hot Oil Treatment...

I got back from Texas Last night and my hair is dry DRY DRY SO hot oil treatment!

Hot Oil Treatments have been around and around and around for as long as I can remember. Actually hot oil treatments were one of the only things I was right prior to starting my healthy hair journey. I kind of forgot about hot oil treatments for a while, but this week on wash day I decided to give one a try... I loved it. It made my hair so soft and it felt so moisturized I think I am going to add it to my regimen maybe once or twice a month. It’s up to you weather or not you want to go out and buy store bought hot oil treatments. For me they are kind of a waste since I normally have 2-3 different oils on hand at any given time so I mixed up my own recipe.



Hot Oil Treatment

.5oz EVOO
.5oz Jojoba Oil
.5oz Castor Oil
5 drops of peppermint oil

*It doesn’t matter what oils you choose to mix for your treatment, but rule of thumb is always start with EVCO or EVOO*

1.Combine oils in an applicator bottle



2.Heat water in microwave safe bowl for about 2 minutes

3. Place applicator bottle filled with oil in hot water for another minute





4. Shake well and test the oil on your wrist(like milk for a baby bottle) if its not hot enough place oil back in water for another minute, or if it’s to hot let it cool for a minute then re test.

5. Once the oil is at a comfortable temp. apply oil either directly to the scalpor woth the pads of your fingers. It‘s really up to you just make sure the oil isn‘t scalding if you are applying it directly to your scalp.

6 gently massage oil into scalp and down the length of your hair.

7. Put on a conditioning cap and let sit for 10 minutes.(if possible let it sit longer I was just being lazy this week)

8. Rinse with warm water

Molasses Treatmeant

Blackstrap Molasses is a great natural product with many uses outside of the kitchen, It is made of the left over goo that remains after raw sugar is turned into the granulated stuff that you find in the grocery store.

Molasses is chalk full of iron, calcium, magnesium, copper and potassium. With so many nutrients it is easy to see why molasses helps stop breakage/shedding, darkens hair and adds softness and shine. Molasses also has been know to help with acne, heart palpitations, arthritis and anemia just to name a few.

I started doing molasses treatments to combat shedding and breakage due to my transition and I loved it so much I added it to my weekly regimen. I use it as a pre poo before I wash and deep condition.

Here’s how :
(note Molasses is a protein so make sure to always follow up with a moisturizing conditioner]*

I normally just eye ball it, but if you want to measure it out here’s how

1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses
2 tablespoons of EVOO
½ a cup of Conditioner
5 drops of tea tree oil



I put all the ingredients in an applicator bottle and shake shake shake.




Then I section my hair off into 4 sections and apply the mix throughout.

I cover it with a plastic cap and leave it on about 20 minutes and rinse it out.

Then I wash and deep condition like normal..

This leaves my hair soft and strong, and I have minimal shedding and breakage.

Hope this helps.
