When hair has been abused by too many chemical treatments such as perms, tints, colorings, straightening, daily abuse, or being exposed to a harsh climate it can do with an oil treatment boost to get it into shape, help with split ends and get rid of that dry grass feel and look.
This treatment is more than just a bit messy, but normally can do wonders for abused hair that needs a bit of life, luster and shine and to leave it silky smooth.
The oil treatment uses the following ingredients: 
Using a bain-marie, melt the coconut oil over very low heat (since it is semi-solid at room temperature) and add the almond, evening primrose and jojoba oil. Mix well and let the mixture cool down and then add the essential oils.
Using your fingertips, dip into the oil mixture and gently massage it into your scalp and through the hair. When the entire head has been treated push your hair together and loosely cover it with kitchen plastic wrap (or a clean plastic bag) to protect the towel that you will place over it.
Cover your head with a towel - turban style and leave it on for about 30 minutes. The heat from your scalp will help with the absorption and penetration of the oil, and the towel turban will keep the heat in.
If your hair is in really bad shape, you can use a hot towel for the turban, as it will further help to absorb the oil.
After 30 minutes, before putting any water on your hair, take your shampoo and massage a fair amount into your hair and scalp - this emulsifying action will help remove the excess oil.
Although this is really a messy treatment, it has helped countless people to get their quality of hair back to normal.
