Ha, I bet you thought you’d never see this oil on the blog again. If you’re new to the blog, I bought IC P.M. nighttime oil treatment back in January, but had disastrous results both times I used the oil. In my review of the oil I did say that I would try it again as part of a hot oil treatment, and after seven months I finally got round to trying it – and you might be surprised at the results I got this time!
Firstly, to make this treatment, I heated up one tablespoon of sunflower oil and two tablespoons of the IC oil. Sidenote: this made WAY too much oil for my hair so next time I’ll use less.
I accidentally left it on for a bit too long so I had to wait for it to cool before using it, but it didn’t take too long. When it was cooled, I poured it into a glass to make it easier for me to apply to my hair. And this was where the fun really began:
From the moment I parted my hair and started putting the oil mixture on my scalp and hair, I felt an immediate difference in my hair! The oil went to work straightaway making my hair feel softer, moisturised and nourished. By the time I had finished putting as much oil as my hair could take, and massaging it in my scalp, my hair felt detangled and I could run my hands through it with ease.
I then wrapped my head with a plastic shower cap and a towel and left it on for about forty minutes before I rinsed it out with a Tresemme conditioner. Usually when I rinse treatments from my hair, I find that my hair gets knotted and quite difficult to handle, but not this time. My hair remained detangled and easy to manage – but most importantly, it remained soft to touch even with water running over it.
You have no idea how ecstatic I am that I have FINALLY found a way to use this oil and get effective results. This DIY concoction made me forget about my previously poor experiences with the oil and changed my mind about never buying the oil (or other IC products) ever again.
And even now that it’s been a few days since I did the treatment, my hair still feels soft and manageable, and I’ve noticed that I don’t have as many knots as I used to. I’ll definitely be using this hair treatment a lot in the future.
