Scalp Treatment

Anyone who has ever purchased hot-oil scalp treatments from the store knows how expensive they can be, but you don't have to purchase a costly kit in order to give yourself a luxuriously beneficial scalp treatment. This hot-oil treatment will leave your scalp moisturized and your hair silky smooth and deeply conditioned.

To make homemade hot-oil treatment to treat your dry scalp you'll need 3 tablespoons of olive oil, a heat-resistant measuring cup or bowl, a saucepan, a comb, a mirror, and gauze pads or cotton balls. Since oil can permanently stain fabric, you'll also need something to protect your clothing from mishaps.

Begin by measuring the olive oil, and place it a heat-resistant container. Make a mini double-boiler by putting about 3 inches of very hot tap water in a saucepan, and place the container of olive oil in the center. Allow the container of olive oil to sit in the hot water until it's sufficiently heated.
