I might have to join this challenge next year... I used soybean oil (vegetable oil) tonight and steamed with it for 20 minutes... no dry scalp and no greasy hair after conditioner rinsing it out. This is a first for straight oil on my hair...

 

[caliscurls]

Last night Bekura Palm Tapioca hair cream to moisturize and QB Aethiopika to seal. Applying the Aethiopika sparingly as I noticed build up last week.

@CodeRed

We'd be happy to have you. I'll mention you when I do the 2015 Challenge Participants.

The Method you described should get your hair & scalp through the Winter months.

And wondering if I have enough to make it through what's already cranking up to be a Brutal Winter?

Oil rinsed with grape seed oil (meh); used APB spritz mix, avocado oil, SD WGBC, APB ayurvedic oil, APB hibiscus and pomegranate cream, and Oyin BSP on ends only.

Thank you I'm hoping it does... I've really wanted oils to work for me in the past and maybe they just weren't light enough or maybe I should've tried steaming them in... I lurve my steamer

Lol, I know! I'm going on a no buy until March, starting in December! Gotta get Black Friday in!

I'm in the airport now heading to OH for work. On my travels in OH I will be visiting Cincinnati, home of "Black and Bosssie" hair pomade! I'm already trying to figure out which BSS I can visit to pick some up!

 

[caliscurls]

I see I'm going to have to prioritize my butter buying this BlackFriday....eyeing that castor oil pomade

 

[Bibliophile]

Yesterday I refreshed some fuzzy twists with:
Distilled H2O
OH Hair Dew + Tropic Isle Living JBCO Hair Therapy mix
AfroVeda Cocoalatte moisture butter

You're so lucky to find that on the ground! I bought that from CurlMart last year. It's wonderful; not like a tradtitional pomade at all. Oh and the lavender/JBCO scent smells nice too!

ETA: I think relaxed or fine-haired ladies would love this pomade. It instantly turns into a medium-viscosity oil upon contact.

I have fine hair and you're right the consistency is perfect for fine hair! I applied it to my scalp and it feels light, with a very refreshing subtle tingle! I also put some on my twist and they weren't overly greasy and had a light shine to them!

 

[caliscurls]

My scalp was on fire had to do an emergency scalp detox with mud. I think it was the indigo....before I thought it would itch because maybe I was allergic, did some reading and used it again this weekend with better quality powder and at first it didn't itch. Today (sigh) it was on fire!!

So long story short the purpose of my post...my hair line was still agitated after the detox so I put a little jojoba oil on it and whew, it feels much better! I also oil rinsed heavily to combat the dryness from the indigo with my Bekura apple & sorghum that's been diluted with EVOO and Grapeseed oil.

I gotta figure this indigo thing out...off to the henna thread later today.

 

[caliscurls]

Moisturized and Sealed lightly blow dried hair with Bekura Palm Tapioca (moisture) and Naturelle Grow Pumpkin Butter (seal). I'm glad i didn't get rid of this butter. While it seems to be hard it melts in your hands and smells delicious. Laid edges lightly with QB Aethiopika.

Oils scalped with jojoba oil for good measure and put Chagrin Valley Calendula Salve along my hair line over the jojoba oil, again for good measure It's supposed to be really good skin irritations.
