At-home oil treatments

Hello All :-)I am trying the at-home oil treatment with olive oil. I do not know if I am applying it properly. Do I apply it on wet or dry hair? Do I comb it through once I have applied it to my hair? Do I wash it out completely after I have done a treatment? How many times a week should I apply a treatment? How many treatments before I should see results?Take care,Thanks Lynn

Hi Jade21Thanks so very much for your info, it was fantastic!!I am with the next post though.....avocado? What do you do with an avocado? Crush it up?Thanks again :-)Lynn
