Light Oil Treatment Begin by taking your oil of choice in one hand. Cup your other hand and pour a small amount (a thimble full) of oil into your palm. Then rub your hands together so that the oil is even on both palms of your hands. Try not to get any on the back of you hands. Then run your hands gently down the length of your hair. The ends of your hair being the oldest will most likely be the driest hair on your head. So remember to apply more to the ends than the rest of your length.
That's it. Simple aye! Light oil treatments need a little finesse. Too insure that you do not end up with a heavy oil treatment (if you are pressed for time and want to wash out before going out). Which is not bad for the hair. It just takes longer to shampoo out the heavy oil treatment. If one thimble full is not enough for your hair, then add more until you feel it's enough. Light oil treatments if done correctly, can be done without the need of washing the oil out after wards. You can simply let the oil stay in your hair all day, without any noticeable oiliness. The longer the oil stays in your hair. The better the benefits to your hair.
Oil treatments work best on hair that is completely dry. If your hair is badly damaged, you need to do a heavy treatment (light treatments will suit you after your hair is replenished with moisture). Light oil treatments can be done on wet hair after showering. Leave in all-day or washed out. Please allow at least 60 minutes minimum for the hair. Each person is different and will have different oiling needs. Any oil treatment will be the best protection your hair will get on most days. Protecting your hair each day will make long hair easier to obtain.

Heavy Oil Treatment Begin by either pouring your oil of choice on to your hair, or you may pour small amount of oil into a cupped hand. Then run your hands from your scalp to the ends of your hair. Continue until your hair is completely wet with oil. Then you may wish to put your hair up to keep the oil from your clothes. Let the oil stay in your hair for at least 20 minutes. You may leave it in as long as you wish. The dryer the hair the longer you should leave the oil in. When done wash out the oil by shampooing. You may have to shampoo more than once to remove all of the oil.
That's it!
Heavy oil treatments work best on hair that is completely dry. If your hair is not dry or badly damaged, you should try regular oil treatments. Heavy oil treatments can be left in all-day or washed out. Continue with heavy oil treatments until you feel your hair is at normal. If your hair ever becomes too oily, just shampoo a little out.
