A Cheap Alternative to Those Expensive Hair Masks

By -

Hair masks can really help improve the overall health of your hair, but why do they have to cost so much? Hot olive oil hair treatments can give you the same results at a much cheaper price. This is a super fun, easy, cheap, and relaxing project. The compliments you'll get will be even better!

Things you'll need:
Several tablespoons of olive oil (depending on the length of your hair)
Hair or shower cap (optional)

Steps:
1. Heat up the olive oil in a mug or other microwave safe dish
2. Take small handfuls of olive oil and massage into your hair and scalp
3. Put on your shower cap
4. Leave in for at least 30 minutes
5. Shampoo and rinse well (you can condition as well if you want)
6. Prepare for amazingly soft hair!

    Oh, yeah...this works totally great! If you have a flaky scalp you should do a vinegar rinse before you shampoo and do the mask.

    Hey Adithis,

    If you have dandruff, I would suggest this recipe:

    2 egg yolks(beaten well)
    1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
    1/3 cup olive oil

    but, you don't want to heat up this recipe. Hope that helps :D!

    This works wonders! We used to put olive oil in a ziploc and set it in hot water to warm up. After the oil is warm, you can snip off an end of the baggy and use this to dispense on your hair.

Dr. Sue Ann Wee on Acne Scarring, Types of Acne Scars, and Treatment Options

Dr. Sue Ann Wee is Board Certified Dermatologist with expertise in laser surgery, cosmetic, and medical dermatology. I got the opportunity to ask her a few questions about acne scarring and the treatment options that are available for those suffering from acne scarring.  Why does acne scarring occur? When acne occurs, it is accompanied by an inflammatory response which injures the skin. This injured area of skin then undergoes wound repair in which the body produces scar tissue (collagen) to heal the wound. Although, the body replaces injured tissue with the same type of tissue (collagen) that is present in normal tissue, scar tissue lays down collagen in a  different and inferior manner compared to normal tissue collagen. This different arrangement of collagen in the body’s healing  process is the key feature of scar formation. What are the different types of acne scars? There are 5 main types of acne scars: rolling, box-car, ice-pick, hypertrophic, and keloid. R
