To heal damaged hair from Straightening and hair colouring

Hair becomes dry and damaged when straightened or coloured. A nurturing way to heal this damage is to apply oil. 

My hair usually becomes too oily even after the wash but if washed again, hair goes to that dry and damaged state again. So I started using this method.

Here is a tip to help hair absorb oil and heal from the damage as well. 

Method:

Apply coconut oil an hour before you wash your hair. Soak a towel in hottest water you can bear to touch and crush to take out the excess water. 

Wrap the towel around head. Cover a big plastic bag around the towel to seal the steam and wait for 30-45 minutes. Wash hair with warm or cold water using your usual shampoo.

The steam helps the hair to absorb oil. Washing hair with cold water after steaming will close the pores and locks the moisture.

You will see your hair becoming soft and healed.
