Hot Oil Treatment
  • How necessary is it to use a hair masque/hot oil treatment? Will it make a big difference on my hair? I've never used either (except for a leave in conditioner) and I want to know how much of a difference it will make when I do. Thanks!
  • The best way to know is to try it. My hair type -- fine but lots of it, slight wave -- doesn't do well with it. Sure, its soft after, but it makes my hair suuuuper limp and sad. So I don't use them but make sure to condition every time I wash my hair. Neutrogena's Daily Deep Conditioner and Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask both work well for under $7 and both contain olive oil (along with more traditional ingredients). I use these 1-3 times a week, depending on how my hair is behaving. But by all means, try the oil if you are curious! =)
