Anyone heard of sealing your deep conditioner with a carrier oil

What's wrong with it? I have read some members doing it. I think it's about the choice of oil and its penetrability and benefits. I prefer to mix a penetrating oil in when I add oil to dcs.
 
I was just wondering because I wanted to try it, but never come across it before. I don't use a dryer, so this would probably be a good move.
I was thinking of using olive or castor oil and maybe adding an essential oil to it.
I guess I'm still learning and got a lot more to learn.

I hardly do it when deep conditioning but almost always do it when pre-pooing. I use essential oils and/or olive oil.

Are you talking about oil-rinsing? If not what is the method you use?

I only use oils for sealing my ends, as an overnight pre-poo/hot oil treatment or oil-rinse.
But the technique I was enquiring about was literally applying your deep conditioner in sections, then appying a carrier oil over the conditioner (then leaving it in your hair for the required amount of time).

I did this type technique on Friday but I sealed the dc w/Marula oil...which I don't consider a carrier oil...Marula oil is know to be a hair moisturizer.

My purpose was to infuse more moisture into the strands. :yep:

After I finished, I thought to myself that the next time I would simply mix the oil into the condish and save a step and loads of stuffiums on my hands.
 
I first heard about this from kinikakes. But I have read about it in a lot of fotkis. (sp) I do this often. You don't have to use a lot of product. I will but in a it of moisturizer or conditioner and after that's worked throught but a bit of oil that layers atop the first. I will use olive, coconut, or vatika oil. HTH

My hair was sooooo bone dry I decided to take very small sections and apply the dc like I would a relaxer. My hair has been soft, fluffy and moisturized for 2 days now and that's approaching a miracle..:blush:

I like your idea of letting the product seep in before adding a top oil layer and also using a lighter touch, I'll remember that when I want a light conditioning with deep conditioners :yep: ... thanks...:grin:
 
I do it. I put coconut oil over my deep conditioner then cover with plastic cap for a hour or 2. Then I detangle. The oil helps the detangle process and its a breeze
 
I do this. I seal my DC with almond oil; I've used olive oil before, too. I can really tell a difference when i don't. It leaves my hair softer and easier to detangle.

Definately gonna try this during my next DC.
I mixed rosemary oil with deep conditioner yesterday and I couldn't believe how much softer my hair felt and my hair was easier to detangle.
I'm at the end of month 5 in my transition and my new growth is becoming a task so sealing my deep conditioner might help in the detangling process :wallbash:.

Hmmmm, but why seal if you are wearing a cap?

Today I mixed my oil w/dc and had a totally different experience w/the products. I think the dc/oil seal technique is/was more effective for my purposes.

I'm not sure a cap seals as such but holds in moisture/heat etc.??? Just a guess..

Sounds like you're onto something....
 
So therefore there's no need for leave-ins, moisturiser and then seal? I'm loving the sound of this already:grin:.

Can someone explain the diff. bet. a carrier oil and a penetrating one and give examples of each??

TIA:grin:

co-signing. I am off to search the forum now for examples. I have noticed that I need 'something' add/with my dc because my hair does not feel as if it has been dc at all.
