Pumpkin seed oil is now in the category for softening hair, as well as a natural silicone. So far, the softeners (over time in order) are babassu, wheat germ, and pumpkin seed. Pumpkin seed is the only one right now with slip.
 
@Sharpened
Please tell me how you do your Oil Rinses
:thankyou:
I thoroughly saturate my hair with warm water and start separating it under the shower to get some of the sheds out. Next, oil is applied to the front, sides and back, rinsing the sheds off my hands as I go, massaging it into my scalp (about 1-2 tsps total, a little at a time). I separated my hair into 5-10 sections and clip the ones I am not working on out of the way. Feeling for knots and potential dreads, I finger-detangle underwater, adding a drop or two of oil to stubborn knots. Any additional products are used after I think I'm done to see if I missed any knots or sheds. If I use a lighter oil first, I follow up with the Castor Mix to seal in the moisture and massage it into my scalp (less than a tsp). Other times, I just wet my hair, put on the Castor Mix, rinse under very warm water, gently shake and go.
 
I would like to join you ladies!

I have prepared @Sharpened's oil mix and I'm ready to give it a try. I don't know if it's going to work for me or not because my porosity is very weird. It's low for the moisture to get in but high for the moisture to get out, and I'm not even joking. So I'm not sure if the oil alone is going to be enough to keep the moisture locked in, but I'm going to give it a try. What I'm mostly after is the definition, shine and softness. I recognize that the silkiness is an inherent hair characteristic that cannot be acquired by product application. But I'm yet to see if my hair is definition-capable or not.

@Sharpened , do you think that it takes the hair long to be trained on the oil-rinsing method?

TIA
