DIY Hot Oil  Hair Treatments

If you find your hair is a tad dull, a luxurious Hot Oil Hair Treatment is the very best way to give you natural tresses a much needed boost heat opens the cuticle allowing deep penetration and complete absorption of the Oil Treatment. Sun exposure and prolonged use of heated styling tools can cause breakage over time.  For hair that’s easier to style and with a  healthy sheen, you can use DIY Homemade Hot Oil Treatments that will give your hair the life it lacks.   

Dry Hair Hot Oil Treatment

Dry Hair can be the result of heat damage and stripping your hair of its natural oils by using harsh shampoo’s or styling products containing alcohol.  To prevent your hair from drying out in the first place ensure you go easy with your hair dryer and curling tongs.  Research suggests that ionic heated tools work well by sealing your hair cuticle to stop your hair from losing too much moisture.


Use a good heat protection product whilst your hair is still damp to ensure adequate absorption of the product.  Argon Oil is fantastic for dry hair hair conditions, when used regularly  it will improve your hair shafts elasticity, thus helping to preventing breakage, keep frizz under control and help to restore the oil balance needed to keep you hair supple and smooth.  Simply apply a few drops of Argon Oil to clean damp hair and wrap hair in a damp hot towel.  Rinse clean and style as normal. Shannel recommends Pure Uk’s Organic Argon Oil

Afro Hair Hot Oil Treatment

Afro hair is super curly hair, which means that it is prone to dryness and frizz.  The use of  chemical agents and heated styling tools can damage the hair resulting in breaking, impossible to style hair. Coconut Oil is fabulous for afro hair, it’s moisture retention capabilities and essential fatty acids replenish the hair shaft leaving it shiny and less vulnerable to breakage.   This superb one hour treatment will leave your hair completely revitalised.  You will need a jar of organic virgin coconut oil and a plastic shower cap.  First  you will need to cleanse your hair with a mild shampoo, apply 4 tablespoons of coconut oil to damp hair (if the coconut oil is solid it will melt if you rub it between your hands) and comb through to distribute from roots to ends.  Cover your hair with the plastic cap and cover the cap with a damp hot towel and leave to cool.  Rinse after one hour and then style as usual. Shannel recommends organic coconut oil from  coconutty.co.uk

Hair Loss Hot Oil Treatment

Emu Oil has been reported to slow down and even halt premature balding and hair thinning.  It is rich in linolenic and oleic acid, the latter of which acts as a localised anti-inflammatory.  Emu oil is great for androgenic hair loss ( the cause of female pattern baldness)   as it has anti androgen properties and also inhibits 5 alpha reductase (an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT).  Emu oil increases skin regeneration, follicle function and the potential for hair growth, it can help hair stay in the ‘growing’ phase for longer resulting in a thicker, stronger hair shaft.  To get the best results warm emu oil in a saucepan and rub over your hair and scalp, rinse after 25 minutes and wash twice with a mild shampoo, follow with a light conditioner and style as usual. Shannel recommends organic emu oil from The Body and Soul Health Shop
