Today, I would be talking about how to do Hot Oil Treatment. You can also read the hair oil recipe for growing hair faster.
Do not heat the oil. Instead take a steam after oiling your hair. Partition your hair into various sections. Pour some oil into your hand and apply it on the scalp first. Cover the entire scalp. Massage oil well into the scalp for 5 minutes at each part. Then, start applying oil to the body of your hair and concentrate on the ends. Be generous with the amount of oil on your head. Do not worry about greasing your hair. Do it at evening time when you do not have any appointments and it would be great if you have a friend who can give you a nice head massage.
After applying the oil to your hair completely, massage your scalp for 15-30 minutes. You would feel the heat generating. Immediately, either steam your hair by placing your head about 1 feet over the steam machine or cover your head with a shower cap and place a very hot towel on your head. Heat opens the pores and allows the oil to get absorbed more and quick. When the towel gets cold, replace it with other hot towel and alternate this routine for 1 hour. You can continue with the shower cap routine even after taking steam. Then, tie a scarf tightly over the shower cap and go to sleep. Leave the oil overnight to work better. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo in the morning. Apply conditioner only to the ends. You will have very soft and shiny hair. And, a weekly hot oil treatment with any oil would stimulate more hair growth.Update: Hot Oil Treatment gives best results if done one night before washing your hair. But, applying oil immediately and going to bed will not help anything except spoiling your bed linens. So, apply oil two hours before going to bed. That gives oil enough time to get soaked into your hair.
One more important thing to remember is that do not over apply your hair oil. Take little by little and apply on your hair. Stop when all your scalp and hair length is covered. Do not keep on splurging the oil like some product. That will finish your shampoo quickly, dry your hair and might even cause hair loss. So, apply only to coat your hair. Be a little generous with the ends. Extra layers of coating will not ensure your hair turns healthy sooner or any kind of such belief.

Hi,
i just need a suggestion…How to heat towel in micro oven..
Anonymous says
Wet the towel and keep it in microwave for 1-2 min
perfectskincareforyou says
hey mohana….i am sorry to say this i neva tried it 🙂 i always used water method but i read that somewhere that you could heat the towel…gues a 45 sec run through would be fine..you could give it a try or if you do not want to risk thn go for towel method…the main prob is that when the towel cools down it really makes your head cold so just take care of the temp…il surely try heating towel in the oven n thn tell u about it if its safe or nt…

Hi Nisha
try the onion juice method which I wrote a while back…it might help with hair fall…and to soften your hair, you can probably use egg…it will definitely help…if you can’t use egg, use curd but avoid henna as it can dry the hair so since your hair is rough, it is naturally dry and henna will not actually suit it so use only curd….using sour curd is even more helpful!!! and have you tried changing your shampoo and conditioner or other hair products coz they might also be causing hair fall!!! and for rough hair, I will advise applying tomato pulp half hour before washing the hair every time…it did help my hair so try out 🙂 hope this helps and do keep me informed!!!
Sonum says
Hi Swati,
Thanks a lot for sharing all the information on your blog. Came across it 3 days back and cant get enough of it 🙂
Also I just tried onion juice with coconut oil and it did not stink at all after I applied in my hair (coz I was worried that I will have to sleep in different room today ;)). Also I steamed my hair after applying oil+onion juice it was so relaxing!
Thanks once again and keep it up.

Monali Mishra says
Hi swati.I have a doubt,how much time we need to steam the hair?and can i skip the towel method if i use the steam only?
Oh,a sad thing my hair quality has been severely damaged due to excess exposure to sun 🙁 now my hair is dry,rough n totally without shine :'( and as if that was not enough i am facing too much split ends.I never use hair dryer or colors or chemicals to style the hair,but still no improvement.How can i get my healthy hair back?plz help…
Swati Murti says
hey Monali, don’t take excess of steam. it dries out the hair. 10 minutes in a fortnight is fine. using towel method enhances the steam benefits and nothing else but if you want you can skip it. you can instead use a shower cap to cover all your hair. it will trap all the heat inside and help with absorption of oil.
oh, that’s sad that your hair is getting damaged. try using tomato on the hair. it reverses the sun damage and weekly use egg or curd on the hair without fail at least for 30 minutes. and, use good conditioner regularly. it will definitely show difference within a month and cut off the split ends ASAP. they will do nothing but harm the hair.
Monali Mishra says
Thanks a lot swati.Will do as you suggested and i will use curd as egg’s smell is too bad ;} how many times a week i have to use tomato?can you suggest a good shampoo and conditioner for my dry hair?I am currently using both of garnier but results are not satisfying.
Swati Murti says
btw, curd’s smell is not very great either 😀 you can use tomato once a week. it will take a month to at least see the difference.
shampoo and conditioner!!! frankly, even I can’t suggest you coz I have not found out my HG. but, you can definitely give dove nourishing oil care a try. regd conditioner, try watercress from biotique. its amazing!!!
Anonymous says
jst came across the above query from Monali..hey egg is a really gud thing for hair..donot use the whole egg jst take te egg white n beat it till fluffy n before u apply it on ur hair , jst massage ur hair n scalp with little oil so that u wont find it difficult to wash ur hair aftr applyin the egg white.
J@mMUla says
cinnamon, olive oil and honey heat this slightly and apply hot oil to your hair (slightly burns but no problems) it helps to grow hair thicker and you can get new hair i.e., hair lost due to infections, dandruff..etc.,
Swati Murti says
excessively hot oil also shouldn’t be applied to the scalp as it can burn the hair follicles. but, yes, warm oil does do lot of wonders to the hair 🙂

me too have severe hairfall. i also apply too much oil maybe that is the reason. i had a query as you have mentioned oil the hair and then shampoo. but if we oil hair before washing how will it benefit i.e i wash hair twice a week and before washing, my hair is bit dirty so if i apply oil on it i wont get any benefit i guess. so do i have to wash my hair apply oil and again wash it. so totally i will wash my hair four times a week.please guide me.
Swati Murti says
well, actually you pointed out a right problem but the thing is you should not go out applying oil as it attracts more dirt so if your hair is dirty, instead of applying oil, you can use a hair mask or something on it like egg + oil or something for an hour and wash off. that is also enough and you wouldn’t have to end up washing the hair more often.
sxsupp says
Morrocan Oil is ok, but I just love Shielo’s new Shine Restore Oil!
After shampooing and conditioning, I part dry my hair, add one pump of the Shielo Shine Restore Oil then comb with a wide tooth comb, and either blowdry or airdry depending on my mood.
My hairdresser recommended part drying your hair first as it seems to help the oil sink in rather than just slide off with the water on your hair.
The Shielo Oil leaves me hair incredibly soft and silky with no flyways (though I didn’t have many to start with) and cuts down drying time. I love how shiny it makes my hair.
I had to go without for a month on my honeymoon recently, and boy did I miss it! My hair felt awful by comparison, and I found myself washing it more frequently just to try to make it feel soft. Was so glad to have it back when I got home!
Yes, it’s expensive, but considering how little you use and how amazing it will make your hair feel, it’s totally worth it.
Swati Murti says
glad that it works well for you!

onion juice is a bit drying for the hair so apply it with a cotton ball on the oiled scalp for only an hour before shampooing. its enough because the juice dries up pretty quickly and flakes off!!!

hello. first of all, never massage your hair when hair is wet and onion juice makes the hair wet. massage your hair and scalp only when you oil the hair. do not mix onion juice with the oil. apply onion juice using a cotton ball on the hair just an hour before shampooing the hair.
also, if the hair fall is severe, please get a doctor’s opinion on it. it can reflect some internal health issue!!

hi. ummm…this is a very old incident and if you did not regrow hair till date, it is because you did not have hair in those areas. i am sorry but i do not know how to answer this. but, i know that excess heat can not make the hair follicles dormant for life long. you should get it checked with a dermatologist.

hi Sanjana. yes, it absolutely fine to vigorously massage the hair. what it does is make the weak hair fall soon to make way for the new hairs. please check out this post for more info:

I had problems of growing my hair out too. I started taking multi vitamins and using Groveda’s hair growth serum. My hair is growing faster and my nails are stronger too. So first you gotta take care of yourself internally and then you can use fast hair growth products to increase normal hair growth. The serum I use from Groveda has amla oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, olive oil, biotin, neem and msm. These ingredients are perfect for me. Everything all in one bottle.

hi beautiful,
I am a Nigerian presently staying in Mumbai. I came in three months ago. But I think Indian water is not good with my hair because my hair has fallen almost to finish since I started washing it with the Indian water.
Please what should I do to bring back my hair even better considering the nature of my hair (strong and dry hair) as a Nigerian now that I am still in Mumbai, though I intent to go back next month. And please, kindly tell me the perfect product for my hair. So my hair can be very long, soft, thick and shinny while in Nigeria my home country. I feel so depressed with this present situation of my hair. please help me out if you can. And I know you can.
Thanks in anticipation.

Swati says
Hi, you could use both! Use boring raj oil and follow with onion juice scalp treatment.
Hema says
I have permanent straightened my hair and I am severe hair fall…. So can I apply oil or suggest me remedy
Swati says
Hi. First, I would suggest you to talk to your stylist of you can apply oil otherwise your straightening might be affected due to the harsh shampoos. Also, to reduce hair fall, you can do scalp massage every day with the tip of your fingers, no need of oil. You can also try essential oils like rosemary and peppermint in your shampoo and conditioner as they reduce hair fall and nourish hair. Also, eat balanced diet and increase your intake of protein.
Anis Fathima says
Hi
Pls tell me if I can use a hair dryer after applying oil instead of steam or hot towel…
Mayuri says
Wow its surprising that such an ugly person with such bad hair as in the picture is giving advice about hair treatments….
Have you even used these treatments???
And if yes then how come your hair looks that bad????
Swati says

Kashish says
Can we comb after oiling ??
Will it add on to brakage of hair even more or it’s okay if we comb our hair after applying oil?
Kashish says
Can we comb after applying oil on our scalp and hair strings?
Will it cause any damage ? Or add on to hair fall?
Swati says
hi Kashish. generally, I always used to avoid it. but, I have seen a few of my friends do it. yes, it does result in hair breakage. but, what I do is comb my hair properly before applying the oil and leaving it just as it is and combing again before I go for wash. immediately combing hair after applying oil might not be a good idea as the oil is still on the scalp and makes the hair a bit wet which may lead to unnecessary breakage. hope this helps!
Kashish says
Yes I suppose. I did it once and there was excessive damage and hair fall. I cried hard that day. And lost all hopes to get them back on my scalp ever. It was disheartening.
archana says
