Styling products, chemical treatments and the sun's rays can leave your hair feeling dry and brittle. Instead of addressing the damage with a store-bought conditioner, give your mane a drink of canola oil. Like other types of oil, canola oil moisturizes and softens hair naturally.

A drizzle of canola oil is all you need to infuse your hair with moisture. Massage a small amount of the oil into your hair and then cover your hair with a towel or plastic shower cap. Let the oil soak in for at least 10 minutes before shampooing as usual.

Canola oil blends well with other ingredients to make a hydrating hair mask. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of canola oil with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, avocado oil or walnut oil. Mix in 2 teaspoons of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening. Melt the oils in the microwave on a low heat setting. Add 2 teaspoons of honey or molasses and stir well. Mix in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and one egg yolk. Smooth the mixture into your hair and wait for 15 minutes. Shampoo your hair as usual and rinse with warm water.
