And when you step out in the sun with that coating of oil, “the sun heats the oil layer, which in turn heats up the internal structure of the hair and then all the moisture is gone”. “You've fried it internally,” he says, “It may look shiny on the outside but when you feel it, it'll feel like sandpaper.” Instead he recommends something like the linseed oil treatment Monsoon Salon offers, which is about 60 per cent natural, is water soluble and washes off.
