Pre-wash hair treatment
A half-hour oil treatment before washing, which suits thick and coily hair better than leaving oil in overnight.
- Time
- 35 mins
- Yield
- One treatment
What you need
- 3–4 tbsp Sana Amnis cold-pressed coconut oil (more for long or thick hair)
- 1 tbsp Sana Amnis Avococo oil, if your ends are particularly dry
- A wide-tooth comb and a towel you do not mind oiling
Method
- 1
Warm the oil by standing the closed bottle in hot water for a few minutes, or rub it between your palms until it melts. Do not microwave it.
- 2
Section damp — not soaking — hair into four. Working one section at a time, apply the oil from mid-length to ends first, then lightly to the scalp.
- 3
Comb through with a wide-tooth comb to distribute, then twist each section loosely.
- 4
Cover with a towel or cap and leave for 30 minutes.
- 5
Shampoo as normal. You will likely need two passes to clear the oil fully.
