Curly Hair That is Dry Use VO5 Oil

I have long naturally curly hair and have found my hair to be dry and damaged from straightening and blow-drying. I have found a tip that makes curly hair less dry, less frizzy, and more in control. Purchase VO5 hot oil treatment; not single containers for one-time use, but purchase the full size product.

Before shampooing, place oil on your hair and gently massage into scalp. Include hairline around face and part. Leave oil on hair for about 4 minutes and then shampoo and condition as you normally would. Your hair will not come out "oily". It will be less dry and more manageable, with less frizz.

This treatment should be done at least once a week. My hair is very dry, so I do this twice a week. This trick also helps for maintaining color-treated hair. Hair that is dry tends to lose hair color that has been dyed; especially around the face and on the part. Using the oil allows the color to stay on the hair longer, so you do not have to dye as often.
