Nourishing Hair Organically

          Nourishing Hair Using Natural Ingredients:

Nourishing hair is a very important part of hair care especially if your hair is dry and brittle due to coloring treatments, weather or even excessive brushing. Whether you have dry curly or straight hair, you can have great results using an oil treatment weekly. When you think of oils you probably think of the sleek oil treatments or serums you see in drugstores, this is where most people go wrong. Oils have to be in their purest form to work wonders on hair. Most serums contain silicone or silicone derivatives. Silicone is a soft substance that coats hair and creats a barrier that keeps moisture in temporarily, the result you get after prolonged use is dry hair because the silicone blocks moisture from getting to your hair follicles. Organic oils like olive oil or coconut oil do the exact opposite of silicone. They coat hair with moisture and absorb into the roots of hair to properly penetrate and nourish. When applied to the ends of hair, organic oils deliver moisture and get rid of that straw-like roughness we all dread. Massaging the scalp with the oil also delivers nutrients and blood flow for healthier hair growth.

HOT OIL TREATMENT:

(You may add more oil if your hair is longer than shoulder length)

2 tbsp Argan Oil
2 tbsp Coconut Oil
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Vitamin E Oil
Optional: A few drops of essential oils or fragrance oils for added benefits (I prefer lemon or eucalyptus oil for their scalp soothing benefits)

Mix all oils together and heat in a pan if desired. The oil should be warm but not too hot. Massage the oil into your scalp for a few minutes and spread the oil through the lengths of your hair with a comb. Wrap a hot towel around your hair for deep absorption. Leave the remaining oil to penetrate for a few hours or even overnight. Wash hair and condition as usual.
