How it's used
Refers specifically to a deep conditioning process involving heat, often performed at a salon to repair damaged hair. While it literally translates to baking oil, it is strictly a beauty term and never used for cooking. It is a common service offered alongside haircuts and dyeing.
Examples
I want to go to the hair salon for a hair treatment.
How long has it been since you last had a hair treatment?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with cooking methods like 焗蛋糕, as the context is strictly limited to hair care.
