My Nanny used to Oil my hair using either Coconut/Almond/sesame/Mustar d Oil in rotation during my childhood every Sunday morning.She'd then soak a thick Towel in very hot Water,wring it out and tie it around my Hair to steam it.This opens the pores of the Scalp and helps Oil to penetrate deep inside
MORE INFORMATION:
Leave in the Oil for 1 hour in the Hair.We'd wash our Hair using a mixture of Soapnuts and Shikakai Pods and our final rinse would be a mugful of Water in which a cupful of Vinegar was mixed ----this added a lovely shine to our thick lustrous hair!!!Use a can of Beer (Hops) instead if you wish!!!
