Here's the fourth in this series of hair care tips bestowed upon me by my wise and experienced hairdresser. Long before it even thought about becoming trendy, he would expound on how beneficial this is for the scalp and hair...

TIP 4. Proactive Quicky Oil Treatment

I'm pretty sure you already know that an oil mask helps dry, itchy scalp, but did you know that applying a little oil to your head is great for general hair and scalp health? Here's a quick and easy way to work an oil treatment into your everyday routine.

Before hitting the shower, apply a small amount of olive, coconut, or sweet almond oil to dry hair, working it through the hair and to the scalp with a gentle massage for a minute or 2 prior to washing it.

How Much is a Small Amount

For short- to medium length hair: approx half a teaspoon
For heavy, long hair: approx 1-2 tablespoons
You know you have applied the correct amount for your hair and scalp when the oil absorbs without leaving a greasy or oily look.

Done regularly, this little treatment will give your tresses a healthy sheen and keep your scalp feeling great. The best part: you can do this treatment as often as you like.

Good For

This tip is good for ALL hair types: straight, wavy, curly, koily, kinky, dry, greasy, thinning, heavy, dandruffy, sensitive, dyed, straightened, bleached, permed, impossible, frizzy, spongy, crunchy and all other manner of head hair.
