hot oil treatment

Scalp moisture therapy

A hot oil treatment is a hair conditioning method where warm oil—typically olive, coconut, or argan—is applied to the hair and scalp to restore moisture and shine.

The heat helps the oil penetrate the hair shaft more deeply than cold application would.

Common in salons and as a home remedy for dry or damaged hair: My stylist recommended a hot oil treatment to repair the bleach damage.
