Today, I treated myself to a spa day at home. First, I decided to do a hot oil treatment on my hair. I was leaning over the saucepan of oil on the stove when it flared up in my face. On the bright side, I no longer have to worry about plucking my eyebrows. FML

I'm pretty sure deep-frying your hair is NOT part of any spa treatment. You probably misunderstood what it was.

Lol, do you not know oil catches fire if you heat it on its own for too long? YDI =P

You leaned over a pan of boiling oil. On the stove. What made you think that was a good idea?

There's reasons as to why Google was created. This is one of the many reasons. Don't do things yourself if you don't know how to in the first place. Look it up!

Whomever asked if she can't afford a proper spa, most people cannot afford a proper spa, and that makes you sound like a jerk. OP, when you do a hot oil treatment on your hair, it's supposed to be heated GENTLY, with more of a double-boiler type of heat. In fact, if you have a small enough bottle of it, you can just heat it in your bath water. Gentle heat is the key so that the oil retains its nutrients and chemical structure.

Are you aware of directions? I give myself hot oil treatments all the time. You don't use the stove, dummy. You put the bottle of oil in warm water. Dur dur durrr. And in this process, did you ever once stop to think, Oh yeah, hey, this is oil, a highly flammable substance. I've got a great idea, let's put it over direct heat for a bit. Yeah, sounds good! YDI.
