Homemade Hot Oil Treatment for Your Hair

After spend the past few weeks at the beach, I noticed that my kids hair was starting to look like they were sporting dreadlocks. Nothing wrong with dreadlocks - I love them, but these were more nests than dreads, lol. Instead of going out to purchase hot oil treatments, I made my own homemade version.

I simply mixed one tablespoon olive oil with 1 tablespoon hair conditioner in a small bowl. I warmed the mixture up by placing the small bowl in a larger bowl of hot water. When warm, I stirred it up more and applied the treatment to their hair. Let it sit for three minutes and wash out. I was then able to throughly comb through all the tangles - with no crying!

I think I will have them do this once a month. It really helped with their long, thick, curly hair.
