If you put the oil on damp hair and then dry and straighten it should be ok. Don't leave iron on a section to long.

I have thick color treated hair. I put Argan oil in my hair when it's damp. Because you can adjust the heat I have never had any real problem with burnt hair. You just have to be careful not to hold it too long!

Absolutely! Just mix your essential oil with the carrier oil of your choice such as jojoba, castor, or another. I would probably mix 1 oz carrier oil to 5-7 drops of peppermint oil (adjust as necessary) to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth. I would suggest using at night because of the lingering scent which will fade by morning.

I would use 2 packages, just to be on the safe side. Also make sure to leave on for at least 2-3 hours and have a spray bottle of water to keep your hair damp during that time. I love this stuff, no more chemicals to keep my hair gray free:)

I also have thick strong hair and grey roots, when I apply the foam I make parts in my hair to make sure the color can penetrate the roots. Hopefully this will help you too. Good luck.

Don't use a lot I think thats what it is you are using too much and u can mix it with coconut oil and lightly mist your hair I hope this is helpful

I've found that it is too thick to use alone, it makes my scalp itchy! The way I use it is to mix one tablespoon to 1/4 cup of conditioner and use as a pre-poo or co-wash, let it sit on my hair for 45 minutes, then rinse out. Also, it really does make your hair grow. I had a balding area from damage from years of relaxer, so I also mix a little (maybe a few teaspoons) with jojoba oil (1 tablespoon) and a few drops of rosemary oil, massaged into the thinning areas of my scalp. No need to rinse out as the other oils cut the thick, stickiness of the castor oil. Respond back and let me know what other products you've tried.

I have colored gray hair, but not a lot of gray. I had professional color about a year ago and have been using Root Touch Up or a simiilar product (L'Oreal or Clairol, I switch off). The professional color was close to my own shade anyway, with some lighter highlights. Anyway, keratin is the vital ingredient here and it's all good. I haven't noticed any color alteration or any negative effect from the OGX treatment. If there is some subtle change I'm not aware of it, because having my hair feel so much better is what gets my attention. I don't think you'd have any problem. There may be a phone number on the directions inside that would be more specific. Personally, I feel very safe with it.

No, the hair will start to melt. I strongly suggest not to use any heat on the hair.

I am using this oil with mix of other ingredients for face care and don't know anything about hair

I have found that if I fail to use it on a steady basis (I run short, etc.), gray hair appears rather quickly. I haven't actually dared to stop altogether for more that a few days, but am thinking that the temp coloring wouldn't last very long.

Any high-heat hair iron (including the expensive ones) will damage your hair after prolonged use, always use a heat protecter product.

Buy got2be protector spray - spray it before using flat iron, use flat iron for no higher temperature than 295 and just grow your hair out. Allways use protector spray a lot before using iron. Hope this helps

My roots didn't respond well to the henna. Gray turned a bit orangey. I loved the conditioning the henna gave to my hair, however, I'd have to maybe get tips on how to get better coloring for my gray

Yes. There is a broad range of heat settings if you're concered about burning your hair. I use it every day and my hair is perfectly fine.

No I do not I only use one ounce to 1 1/2 ounce of developer to cover my gray and leave for 45 min. Depends how much hair you have I am only covering my roots. If long hair maybe half the tube

450! 450 does not burn your hair at all, it just works better and quicker. However, it does leave a kind of "burnt" smell in your hair, but you can expect that smell to go away in 1 or 2 days. Also, if you do not want to deal with the smell in the first place you can buy a heat protecter spray, my friend uses this one and it works great: Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Spray. here is the link: Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Spray
