Been sealing with my JBCO/KBB oil mix. Think I am going to use my homeade shea/mango/ and other stuff mix tonight (I cannot remember what I mixed - need to get a journal)
 
@Golden75 Girl, this sounds like me.:nono:

I made up all these little individual 2 ounce jars of Mega-Tek mixed with different Butters and/or Cremes.

I didn't label them and now I don't know what they are.:lol:

:rolleyes: Mega-Tek & Sumthin'

I once mixed the "perfect conditioner" in a spare applicator bottle I had. It was the perfect balance of oils, protein, and moisture condishes. By the time I got to the bottom of the bottle I could not for the life of me remember what all I had put in it. *sigh*
 
Massaged in castor oil blend. Now sitting under my heat cap. Need to moisturize and seal somehow. hmm. Maybe SM Mist with shea butter blend to seal.

LaidBak I said during my 6 month No-Buy, I was going to buy a Journal pr at least write things down (to take my mind offa' haulin') :look:

So, far I've only written out a couple of regimens. But um..yeah...I know how you feel.:sad:
 
yes Im gonna buy a notebook for writing out regimens. I did that when i was relaxed and it worked especially during a time when I was getting some breakage I was able to pin point when I changed my regmin and was able to correct.

anyhooo ... last night I GHE with BRBC and sealed this morning with walnut/sweet almond mix
 
Oiled my scalp with the red pimento oil for for the first time. The smell is quite interesting.:look: After I oiled and massaged my scalp, I applied my homemade DC, which consists of a bunch of conditioners mixed together with castor, olive, and almond oil. Like everyone else, I mix a bunch of yummies up and then I can't remember for the life of me what I mixed together.:nono:

Ditto on the notebook. I really need to get organized.:look:

I think I'm going to let the DC sit for a couple of hours...outta pure laziness.:yawn:
 
rinsed out dc
soaked hair in diluted ayurvedic tea with a little acv
maka oil rinse
apply fenugreek infused coconut oil, shea butter, neem, Crisco blend to edges and ends
braid to dry
 
Soooo...I got some more apricot oil (haven't had any in a while) I also splurged on aubrey organic white camellia and rose mosqueta oils...hopefully I didn't waste my $ because they were expensive...I was "in the moment" hahaha.

youwillrise, I think you will like the White Camellia. My hair is very picky and doesn't like many conditioners. It actually liked the White Camellia. I've not tried the Rose Mosqueta.

Well, I use the white camellia conditioner already. I was talking about the white camellia oil...I also got the rose mosqueta oil. Aubrey organics sells some of the oils that they use in their conditioners. I've never used the rose mosqueta conditioner, but I thought id try the oil. Ha

I got it from a local natural foods store. I paid $16.69 for the white camellia oil and $13.65 for the rose mosqueta oil. And they're both only .36 oz. That's POINT36 ounces lol. I feel kinda bad about buying them, but I did the deed! I wonder if they're that expensive if you don't buy them from ao. Hmmm. Ill definitely let you know how they work out!
 
Ladies: This is something another Member of this Challenge sent me that she found through research on Curly Nikki and thought it would be something beneficial for us to have.:grin:

If you have any research on Oils and you want to Post Them, please feel free to do so.:yep:


Coconut Oil (Extra Virgin) Light and non-greasy, coconut oil can easily be used by all hair types. Coconut oil is one of the few oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft. There are several types of coconut oil available, but go for the extra virgin (EVCO). This oil is typically clear in its liquid form and a white color that is solid at room temperature. Shelf life: approximately 1-2 years.

Olive Oil (Extra Virgin) This multipurpose oil is a staple in many naturals’ hair care regimens. Not only is olive oil a great pre-poo and hot oil treatment option, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) works wonders to seal moisture in and can add a kick to your conditioning routine too. If you have finer hair you may want to use just a small amount in order to not weigh the hair down. Shelf life: up to 2 years.

Castor Oil (Jamaican Black Castor Oil) A heavier oil great for tighter coils, castor oil can be great for sealing moisture into your hair. Many have also used this oil to help regain thickness around thinning hairlines. A little definitely goes a long way with this oil; too much can leave your hair heavy and weighed down. Another popular variation is Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO). This less refined version can be used to encourage hair growth as well as protect and seal your ends. Shelf life: indefinite.

Grape Seed Oil This super light and moisturizing hair oil can benefit all types of curls. A natural heat protectant, grape seed oil can actually be used as a thermal agent up to 425 degrees when blow drying or flat ironing. Apply a bit throughout the hair before applying heat to give your hair added shine and protection. This oil works great to strengthen each strand, increase manageability and can also be used to combat dry scalp and dandruff. Shelf life: approximately 1 year

Jojoba Oil Closely matching the sebum, your hair’s natural oil, jojoba oil is a great staple in your natural hair care routine. This hair oil can be used to balance oil production at the scalp, aiding overproducing glands that cause oily hair. Jojoba is also non-greasy and gives your hair a healthy shine. At this time, however, jojoba oil is very scarce and that is reflected in the skyrocketing price. Shelf life: can be indefinite.

Sweet Almond Oil This light, all-purpose oil is great for all hair types and offers many benefits to naturally curly hair. Sweet almond oil works great as a sealant, so apply a small bit on top of your moisturizer to lock in the moisture. It’s also great for improving manageability by smoothing the hair shaft. Shelf life: approximately 1 year.

Avocado Oil This super nutrient rich oil is heaven for thick haired curlies. Chock full of natural goodies like amino acids, minerals, and vitamins, avocado oil can help strengthen hair and enhance deep conditioning treatments. Try mixing a bit of this hair oil with your favorite conditioner as a deep treatment, adding a plastic baggy or heat cap for added conditioning. Since this oil is a bit heavy and slightly oily, it’s best for thicker or more tightly coiled strands. Shelf life: approximately 1 year.

Argan Oil This rare oil is making waves in the natural hair community for its moisturizing properties. Easily absorbed and quite nourishing, this oil is great for your hair, skin, and nails too. For curly girls, argan oil helps with manageability and can also strengthen the hair. It can be pricey, but a little goes a long way. Shelf life: approximately 2 years.

Ayurvedic Oils For ages these hair oils have worked wonders across the globe and they’re a wonderful option for naturals. Some of the more prominent oils are amla, neem, brahmi, and bhringaraj; each of these distinctive oils offer their own unique benefits for your curls. For example, amla oil is great to strengthen and condition the hair, neem oil is excellent for tackling dandruff, brahmi can be used to stimulate hair growth and bhringaraj is great to combat shedding and breakage.

Rose Oil A lightweight oil, rose oil is perfect for wavies or those with thinner hair. Rose oil strengthens hair at the root, protects against frizz and adds shine.

I massaged some Shi Naturals Grow Potion on my scalp and I have a mix of JBCO/Argan on my length.


Lita - how are you liking the b.a.s.k. Silk & Honey Latte milk?
 
Wow. I really need to step it up. I've never sealed my hair and didn't know what it was until recently. I have a bottle of "african
Oil" I bought from Walmart and that lasts me about 1 year....
