Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hi, does anyone have a simple hot oil treatment for really bad dried hair with split ends? I have lots of jojoba, so I think that would be my best base.. Carol www.essentiallywiccan.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Carol, I looked at the hot oil treatment ingredients VO5... Blegh. What I would suggest. Just from my own experience. Jojoba, wheat germ, maybe some rosehip seed oil and a teeny tiny bit of shea. Shea butter is a great conditioner for dry hair. If you want to add more hair good oils you can. And I would add my favorite essential oil... Peppermint. But that's just me... I like peppermint because I have seborrheic dermatitis on my head and it soothes it, and it also smells better than Denorex. I'd also leave it in for an hour... But that's just me... Cause I'm weird that way... I in no way am suggesting anyone leaving peppermint EO on their head for anylonger than they can possibly stand it...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have a question about this: my 21-year old daughter has waist-length hair that she washes every day - sometimes twice a day (it is really HOT here in Eastern Washington - 96 degrees at 11:15 pm Sunday nite after a new record high of 112 degrees today, and cool showers work faster than air conditioning). She just had to have three inches of hair trimmed because it was in such bad condition. She used to color her hair, but hasn't for a year or more. How much jojoba oil and shea butter should she use; and how in the world does one get all that stuff out of the hair??? Seems to me it would be yukky to get out. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Thanks Serra and Jennifer for your responses, I don't have any Monoi de Tahiti, but will look into it, I do everything but the wheat germ oil that Jennifer suggested, so I will try to make up a concoction with the oils that I do have. Last week I broke out in a rash on my chest, it seems made up of pink blotches that won't go away and red spots, Its not itchy, but very unattractive, lol. Going back to the doctor today, as its now spreading up my neck. Anyways, Thanks , I will give these a try. Have a great day everyone.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well Barb a hot oil treatment pack is usually about 1 ounce, I think the instructions say if you have really long hair 2 packs. And usually after using a hot oil treatment you wash your hair as normal. It's just like using mayonnaise to condition, my mom used to do that to my hair occasionally, and although I don't like the smell of mayonnaise on my hair during the process. It does a great job of conditioning. And hot oil will not go rancid on one's head...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi Barb, Your daughter washes her hair twice a day? Wow. I can't imagine washing mine twice a day because I'd be a wethead for the entire day or burn out my hair dryer! My hair is very thick, and just about waist length (feels like a fur coat sometimes!)(check out the pictures on my web page gallery from when I donated a hunk of it to Locks of Love in Sept'04; it's that long again finally!). Even when it's hot (like now) I try to skip a day between washings, unless I've been to a workout class or played a softball game. It's been my understanding that it's not good wash your hair multiple times a day because you end up stripping the natural oils from your head off the scalp which sends the oil glands into overdrive and makes you think your head/hair is very oily, which makes you want to wash your hair again, which strips the oil off, etc... In fact, I've heard it's not even recommended to wash it every single day, but maybe three to four times a week, even if you have long hair. Also, what I've been told (by two hair stylists and read on the internet) is " shampoo on the scalp, and conditioner on the length " , and that seems to be working for me. As for getting the stuff out of your hair, lots of rinsing under the shower, and finger-combing while rinsing should do the trick. Use warm water, not hot, because hot will just strip away all the good stuff you just put into your hair to condition it.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Maybe this is a time to ask Chris to post a BASIC recipe for palmade in the files section. No Chris, not asking for YOUR recipe, just one that you had before you started tweaking*S*!! Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
