The correct use of hair treatments is essential to achieving healthy and beautiful hair. Whether your hair is straight, wavy, curly or coiled, there is a treatment for you.
The most common use of hair treatments are to protect the integrity of your hair. This can be from heat styling or chemical processing.
Hot Oil Treatment
If you have dry hair, a hot oil treatment can give it the moisture boost it needs to look and feel healthy. In general, hot oil treatments are more nourishing than a hair mask, and they’re applied before you wash your hair so that the oils have time to penetrate the strands before you rinse them.
While there are many products you can buy to help you with your hot oil treatment, you can also do it at home using your favorite cooking or natural oils. Just ensure the oil is warm to better absorb into your scalp and strands. You can heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds or warm it in your hands. The key is to use an oil that won’t irritate your scalp or damage your hair.
The best oil for a hot oil treatment is usually almond or coconut oil. They’re both hydrating and have anti-inflammatory properties to protect the scalp from irritation.
Depending on your hair type, you may need to apply the oil to your scalp and the ends. Treating dry hair is recommended, but you can use it on wet hair if you want to give it a little extra shine.
You can apply the hot oil treatment once or every other week. Just be careful not to overdo it, as excess oil can weigh down your hair and cause greasy buildup on the scalp and scalp follicles.
When you do the treatment, protect your clothing and bedsheets with a towel or plastic wrap so the oil doesn’t stain them. It’s also essential to choose a safe and gentle oil for your scalp, so make sure you do a patch test before applying anything to your skin.
An excellent oil to try is an organic, natural one like our Mint Almond Oil. It’s great for reducing breakage, preventing excessive shedding, and giving your hair added shine and softness. It’s especially effective on kinky or curly hair, since the oils will help to reduce frizz and flyaways.
Chemical Treatment
Chemical hair treatments can give you the color or texture that you want, but they also can damage your hair. These treatments change the molecular structure of your hair, making it weaker and more vulnerable to damage. They can also strip your hair of its natural oils, causing it to feel dry and brittle. Choosing the proper chemical treatment is essential to prevent this damage.
When getting a chemical treatment, always choose a professional salon. They will know how to use the products that will not cause long-term damage to your hair. They should also be able to identify your hair type and choose the right chemicals for your hair.
Before you get a chemical hair treatment, make sure that your scalp is free of any cuts, abrasions or lesions. It is best to go for the treatment while your hair is slightly dirty, as this will help prevent the chemicals from being absorbed into the clean scalp. You should also use a shampoo and conditioner that is specially made for your hair type.
Hair Color Treatment
Whether you’re into subtle sombre hair or crazy tie-dyed mane, you must use unique products to keep your color from fading too quickly. Look for nourishing shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and even hair masks formulated for color treated hair – products specifically designed to keep your strands healthy and vibrant.

Treatment is the perfect triple threat for your tresses, as it serves as a leave-in conditioner, detangler, and split-end repair solution. And, because it’s sulfate and paraben free, this product also helps to prevent dryness and frizz.
When you’re ready to dye your strands, it’s essential to take some time to research the best hair coloring techniques for you. A great place to start is by collecting both physical and digital pictures of hair colors that you like. This will help you narrow down your options and give you a good idea of what would look best on you.
Another important thing to consider is the ingredients of your chosen color. According to Cecilia Angelon, founder and CEO of Surya Brasil, opting for cruelty-free hair dye derived from natural sources such as Ayurvedic herbs and plant extracts is crucial. Angelon also recommends using semi-permanent hair color rather than permanent, as these contain fewer harsh chemicals that could harm your hair.
Demelo advises that you should never go more than two tones lighter or darker with at-home hair color. “Anything beyond that, you should always see a professional,” she says. This is because at-home hair color can only lift your strands so much before the cuticle layer begins to close again, and you’ll start to see a noticeable difference in the tone of your strands.
