THE BOTTOM LINE
In truth, heat, coloring and age are all conspiring against you to break your hair. You can’t do anything about the aging process but if you stopped coloring and reduced the heat exposure, your hair would break less. Of course, then you might not like how it looks. Such is the price we pay for beauty!
DOES OJON RESTORATIVE TREATMENT LIVE UP TO ITS HYPE?
Alison asks:
Ojon’s oil treatment consists of palm oil, fragrance and a few extracts. It’s particularly interesting because recent research has shown that only some oils will actually penetrate the hair. Mineral oil and sunflower oil, for example, will not penetrate. But coconut oil (which is essentially the same as palm oil) will filter deep into the cortex because it is so similar to hair’s natural lipids.
OIL CONDITIONS HAIR
Why is that a big deal? Because the natural oils in your hair help make it flexible and waterproof. Washing your hair removes some of these natural oils. So it is possible that applying coconut oil to your hair can fight some of the effects of this oil loss. Once inside the hair, the oil serves as a re-fatting agent. However, this type of conditioning won’t have much effect on the cuticle—the outer layer of hair—so you’ll still need to use a good conditioner to smooth the hair and make it easier to comb.
