Bump...sorry I could not help u but...

...I've never done a hot oil treatment because I still dont see the benefit of doing one. I know some have said you get softer and more manageable hair but I have other products that do that for me...

Hair911, I use hot oil treatments about once every week and it's very beneficial to my hair by making it feel soft and moisturized. Here are the answers to your questions:

1. I mainly do it on dry hair.
2. I conditioner wash pretty much everyday, but I always do my hot oil treatment on my shampoo/clarifying day. I apply the treatment, then follow by washing with shampoo and conditioner - it feels heavenly afterward!
3. For my hot oil treatment I use 2 TBSP of EVOO and 1 TBSP of honey.
4. To save time, I usually use my heat cap when doing this, but you don't have to - some ladies leave it on while taking care of other things and then rinse it out.
5. Again, I do this weekly but some do it every other week or once a month - whatever your hair responds to best!

HTH!

1)Do you do a hot oil treatment on wet or dry hair?
Dry hair

2)Do you shampoo and condition your hair before or after the hotoil treatment?
After

3)What products do you use to do this?
Regular EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) from the supermarket. I then put Suave Milk & Honey conditioner right over it.

4)Do you have to sit under a dryer for a hot oil treatment?
Certainly not, but many like to. I sit under my soft bonnet dryer for 45-90 minutes

5)How often should you do it?
That really depends on your hair. I do it twice a week (mon. and thurs.) Try once a week or once every two weeks if it's new to you.

HTH!

1) saturate dry hair with the hot oil
2) shampoo and conditioner after the hot oil
3) various oils mixed or used alone (olive, coconut, jojoba, shea butter, castor, etc.) just about any natural oils or a pre-mixed store bought
4) sometimes I used heat, sometimes not, depending on how much time I had. I would warm the oils (do NOT over heat the oils, just warm), saturate my hair and cover with a plastic cap. Then let sit with or without heat for about 10 minutes and rinse out. Then shampoo and condition.
5) I use to do once a week.

I don't do anymore because I didn't see any dramatic results -- didn't seem worth the trouble for me. I think the problem was that the benefits of the oils would just get shampooed out. However, when I tried doing it AFTER shampooing, then my hair was just too weighed down and heavy and would not have any bounce. SOOOOO, I'm not an advocate either way. I now just put natural oils in my washout conditioners in order to receive the benefits. I found this to me much much better for my 4b relaxed hair. I know others DO obtain good results from hotoils so you may want to try it, maybe your hair will like it . . .

1)Do you do a hot oil treatment on wet or dry hair?
<font color="blue"> I've done it on both. . If I'm doing it for a pre-shampoo treatment, I do it on dry hair. It's easier to massage my scalp that way. </font>

2)Do you shampoo and condition your hair before or after the hotoil treatment?
<font color="blue"> Right now I'm testing out a new summer regimen. Since the weather is warmer and a lot more humid (it's rained almost everyday for the last 2 weeks), I'm going to see if I can cut back on my deep conditioning and save that for the colder months. So now I'll shampoo my hair first, then apply the oil. After 10-15 minutes I rinse it out and apply conditioner to help detangle and cut some of the oil so that my hair won't be greasy when it dries. I rinse the conditioner out after about 3-5 minutes. It's kind of like a CO wash instead of what I ususally do for deep conditioning. So far so good.</font>

3)What products do you use to do this?
<font color="blue"> I really like coconut oil and olive oil for both pre-poo and post-poo treatment. For pre-poo treatments, I sometimes add honey to the oil. </font>

4)Do you have to sit under a dryer for a hot oil treatment?
<font color="blue"> If I'm doing it after I shampoo, I cover my head with a cap and sit under the dryer for 10-15 minutes. If it's for a pre-poo treatment, I just cover my head with a towel and leave it anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight. </font>

5)How often should you do it?
<font color="blue"> Right now I'm doing the post-shampoo oil treatment 2x a week. </font>

I need your help ladies.

1)Do you do a hot oil treatment on wet or dry hair?
Both. More often than not, I do it when my hair is slightly damp.
2)Do you shampoo and condition your hair before or after the hotoil treatment?
After.
3)What products do you use to do this?
I use a mix of oils, but I've just bought Hot 6 Oil, which I like, and will probably use from this point forward.
4)Do you have to sit under a dryer for a hot oil treatment?
I sit under my heat cap, but you don't have to, no. The oil should already be warm...a plastic cap ought to suffice.
5)How often should you do it?
I just do it as I think it's needed, when my hair needs or deserves extra pampering. I'd say 2-3 times a month, maybe. HTH

1.mainly on dry hair, sometimes i dampen it first
2. shampoo and condition after
3. mainly use olive oil alone or mixed with other things like honey or conditioner
4. No dryer. just a platic cap for an hour and go on about my business. maybe do some vigorous house cleaning to work up a sweat and generate heat lol.
5. I do it whenever i feel like i need it

 

[hair911]

If you wash your hair after the hot oil treatment doesn't that wash away all of the oil??

I hope my questions don't sound ridiculous.
