Cucumber Aloe Hair Oil

I am a huge fan of weekly deep conditioning treatments for your hair. I’ve used masks and oils and I find that the oils are especially good for when it’s cold outside and dry and warm inside. This month’s Lucky magazine has a little blurb about Wen’s Cucumber Aloe Hair and Body oil. I actually tried his hair and body oil out last year (the Sweet Almond Mint) and I absolutely loved it. It’s basically just jojoba oil and essential oils which you could obviously do yourself and stick it in a pretty glass bottle. You can get those bottles with a dropper at any craft store and voila your own little potion. I’m lazy though and sometimes I just like to buy something already made to make me feel better. Planet killer that I am.

The best way to use it I have found is to apply it in sections to dry hair and comb through with a wide tooth comb. I usually then cover my head with a shower cap and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Then apply a little bit of your shampoo to your dry hair. Add a little water if you need to get it going and then rinse and condition as usual. My hair is so excessively swingy, shiny and soft after one of these treatments. It’s also great to combat winter hat hair if you run just the teeniest, tiniest bit of it through your hair before you put your hat on. The really great thing about it is that you can use it as a body and bath oil as well so it’s a much better bang for your buck.
