Hot Oil Treatment

Last night I decided to give myself a hot olive oil treatment.  I put small amounts of olive oil in my palm, rubbed my palms together and worked the oil into sections of my hair.  When my entire head was done, I covered it with a plastic cap and sat under the hair dryer for about 15 minutes.

I then shampooed as usual. After shampooing I towel dried my hair, and put a little more olive oil on.  I set it up as usual.  This morning my hair feels great and looks lustrous.

I think I will try to do this every month.  I am sure my hair will thank me for it.

Relief

As I mentioned earlier this week, I have a dry, scaly and itchy patch on my scalp.  In fact, my entire head has been very itchy.

I decided to try good old Head and Shoulders dandruff shampoo.  It worked really well.  After just one shampoo, the itchiness has calmed down completely.

After a week of torrential rainfall that has caused much property and infrastructural damage and some very unfortunate deaths,  the rain seems to have abated.  This morning it is just drizzling.  I hope the sun comes out again soon.  I offer a prayer for all the families that are grieving this morning.  Property damage is one thing, but when your family members die because of a collapsed building, that is a whole other nightmare.

This sort of tragedy really puts things into perspective.  I realize that my complaining about a leaky roof and wet spots in my house really sounds whiny and pathetic, When you think about families who are wondering where they are going to live, and how are they going to feed their children, after this devastating storm.

It is very humbling.
