VO5 Nourishing Coconut Hot Oil 4x15ml

Product Information

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. And, hot oil treatments work simply to help revive and replenish tired or damaged strands in 20 minutes or less.

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

ALL PRODUCTS

Natural hair gurus often associate the quality of a hair product brand with the ingredients they use. For this reason, many naturals meticulously study hair product ingredient lists before deciding if a product is right for them. To reduce the risk of a reaction, look for oils that aren’t combined with synthetic ingredients, and are 100 percent natural. Oils –The sunflower seed, sweet almond, and mango oils present in VO5 products seal in the moisture that the hair needs to grow and thrive. The rosemary leaf and chamomile flower oils regenerate tired, dry strands and help with blood circulation in the scalp stimulating hair growth. These oils are present in almost all of VO5’s products. 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. 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

Although hot oil treatments use plant-based ingredients, that doesn’t mean they’re safe for everyone. It’s still possible to have an adverse reaction to the oil, especially if you have sensitive skin. After 20 minutes, completely rinse out the oil from your hair, and follow up with your normal conditioner. Let’s face it: Our hair can get pretty gnarly over time if we don’t show it some love.

To do a patch test, simply apply a small amount of the oil (unheated) to the inside of your elbow.
