Hot oil treatments are probably something you’ve heard about a lot and have thought about trying. If you’re still on the fence about them, take a look at some of the benefits of hot oil treatments for curly hair:
Balances and restores moisture
It helps restore the natural moisture balance to your curls. If your strands are dry and distressed, oil can help introduce and capture moisture into your strands. If you have coarse and/or high porosity hair that dries out easily, then hot oil treatments are a must.
Reduces brittle, frizzy and split ends
A hot oil treatment moisturises your hair from within and helps to prevent frizz and split ends.
Sun protection
Hot oil treatments can create a protective shield that blocks the damage to your hair that excessive sun exposure can cause. Potential damages of the sun include discolouration and weakness.
Shiny
Oils can improve the overall health of your strands, meaning your hair will be smoother, softer, easier to style as well as shinier.
Smooths
Oil smoothens down irritated cuticles, which will also help your strands hold moisture in better as well.
