Woot/Whoops: Hot Oil Hair Treatment

There are so many hair treatments on Pinterest, and I want to try all of them. I really REALLY need a good treatment with as much as I dye my hair (the ends are currently blue, which is a whole other post for on here.) and most of these look fairly simple.

This isn't the exact one I used, but for some reason I can't find it now. It did have the olive oil and honey, but the one I tried also had vitamin E oil. I picked up all three ingredients, as well as the shower cap, from the dollar store. The directions I used are the same as the link. The honey makes it smell really yummy. However, key step here is to let it cool down enough that you don't burn your head. Because honey HOLDS HEAT. The olive and vit E oil make the treatment comb through really smoothly, and didn't take long at all to coat my whole head. I wish I had pictures of how super attractive I looked lounging around with a shower cap while crocheting for half an hour. I'm pretty sure I found the reason why it's so difficult to get a date. haha.

I sat for the half hour, and then i blasted it one good time with the hairdryer because on another pin I had read that extra heat would help. And then I tried to wash it out.

And I rinsed. And rinsed some more. And then panicked a little bit and rinsed again. I do know that my hair is really absorbent when it comes to treatments and dye, so maybe this is why I had such a hard time washing the excess out. But even when I got out of the shower, my hair just felt oily. It smelled nice and combed out like silk, but I just felt like I looked like I hadn't showered for a few days. Luckily it was a weekend and I got to hide out. I didnt take a photo of this either because I was too embarrassed.

HOWEVER. the next day when I shampooed and dried, my hair looked/felt AWESOME. Especially in the winter, I tend to have really bad static/frizz but for the next solid week my hair was great and behaved itself.

Price: $4.00 (including shower cap, which I suppose isn't an absolute necessity)

Verdict: I think overall it is a good, and cheap, treatment. I would just recommend doing it on a day where you don't have to go anywhere in case your hair goes into revolt like mine did. And be super super careful to make sure that the treatment has cooled enough before you use it.
