Hair Type and Frequency
Hot oil treatments are good for all year around. Depending on your hair type will determine how often you should consider doing a hot oil treatment. 1-2 months is an average time frame. You certainly don’t want to over do it, as it can lead to oil buildup in your locs and even potential unraveling, especially for those new to locs.
Dry Hair Vs. Wet Hair
You can treat yourself to a hot oil treatment with dry or wet hair, but wet hair is your better bet. It’s especially effective to wash your hair before a hot oil treatment.
