I borrowed this one from my messageboard. I recommended heating a damp towel in the microwave for a nice heat treatment during a deep conditioning application. It was recommended that the towel be put in a plastic bag (available in our shopping cart in the accessories section) to keep the micro sanitary. Then wrap the towel around your hair and put the bag on over the towel. It helps keep the heat in. Doing this twice weekly can help with a multitude of hair problems.
