1) The first step is to heat your hair oil, hot oil penetrates better than one which is at room temperature. So heat the oil over low flame in a small bowl. If you are worried about damaging the properties of your hair oil due to heating then do not heat it directly on flame. Place the bowl over boiling water to heat the oil.

2) Now use a cotton ball to apply oil on the scalp. Remember the oil should be applied to the scalp and not to hair. Part your hair in sections to apply oil on the scalp.

3) Next is to braid your hair or tie it in a bun, if possible sit under the sun for sometime. If sun light is not available then you can use a hot towel wrap over your head, remove it after 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat this procedure at least 3 to 4 times.

4) It is advisable to apply oil in the night and leave your hair oiled overnight. Next morning wash it with shampoo, do not use shampoo directly on the scalp. Mix shampoo with water in a jug and then pour it over your head. This will give a very clean effect.

5) Massage your scalp for teo minutes even while shampooing and finish off with a light conditioner. As a leave in conditioner mix 2 tablespoons of honey in one jug of water and use it as a final rinse. Do not wash after that, this will give your hair an excellent shine and softness.
