@Alma Petra

Glad you are joining us.

@IDareT'sHair Thank you dear

@Sharpened

Oop, sorry! I do it anytime I "wash" or refresh in the shower. Right now, I am doing it daily to see if using raw aloe gel has any benefit.

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

For me, it takes 2-3 rinses from either a stretched style or a major detangle. Give yourself some leeway, since you have multiple textures going on.

Me too, my curls are disrupted by detangling. I'm astonished at and super envious of the people for whom the comb or the brush defines and smoothens the curls during WnGs *smh*

I have a deep love affair with oils. My hair has flourish since I became committed to use them regularly. I actually prefer oil blends that I can purchase at the store or online. I have trouble being consistent with the creating combination of oils on my own.

Here is list of my favorites and when I use them:
Alma oil - Prepoo
BB Tropical Roots JBCO with Rosemary - Oil Rinse
Taliah Wajid Healing Oil - Oil Rinse
Mane Choice Growth Oil - oil scalp and seal leave in conditioner
K Organic Oyl - seal leave in conditioner

Love them all and I believe I have found the oils to meet all my needs and I can have fun with in my hair.

Updating this thread to add :

JBCO, Sunflower and Avocado oil mix for my edges and nape. I apply this oil blend every night after my scalp massage.

1-2 more swipes of this.

 

[Sharpened]

Oil wash/rinse/detangle with pumpkin seed oil, Jamaican M&L Transition Creme, and Castor Mix.

Got to make some more Castor Mix today.

May mix my cupuacu butter sample with some castor oil to see if my hair, scalp, and skin likes it.

I've been using CRN Ajani and it's really good. Wish it came in a bigger jar.

@Saludable84
Me Too!

Sophia's started off w/this size and finally graduated up to 8oz's.

But Sophia's wasn't $12 bucks either!

I love that it's looks like a pomade texture but goes on smooth and isn't sticky or too heavy.

 

[xu93texas]

I mixed EVCO with my deep conditioner.

I used SSI Moisture Mist and SSI murumuru butter for my leave-ins

I recently bought Fractionated Coconut Oil the other day to use as a Pre-Rx (Oil Rinse) to help with detangling.

I read your post in "Randoms" and didn't want to Hijack the Thread, but wanted you to explain what you meant about the make up of the Fractionated Coconut Oil?

When lauric fatty acid (long chain triglyceride, the more "solid" part) is removed from coconut oil, capric/caprylic acid (medium chain triglyceride, the more "liquid" part) makes up the majority of the remaining oil. These are more penetrating because of the smaller molecules. Now, the fractionated oil can be further refined to remove the capric/caprylic acid. Those remaining fatty acids - palmitic, decanoic, myristic, oleic (which is the only monounsaturated part) - are short chain triglycerides, which are even more penetrating.

This is why I was pissed when my babassu oil came as a solid mass even though we were having temps approaching 90. The part that goes liquid first is the more penetrating part.

@Sharpened


I bought the Fractionated because of You!

Can't wait to try it.

hello still in challenge from the desert i'm using african pride ultimate oil and amla oil from vaadi with brahim in it. i think it has more its stimulating but can't read arabic. lol

 

[xu93texas]

I used LG Green Magic and SSI Moisture Mist.

 

[Alma Petra]

So I have used @Sharpened's oil mix three times so far. My hair finds it amazing for moisture! My hair has always loved oil rinses. But the new thing is I think that it has helped define my roots (in the limited areas that do curl) which means that I don't have to give up on my natural hair yet. I'm just waiting to see if new areas will start to curl or not. My crown is just straight and stupid. I feel like big chopping it just to have a good idea lol.

But my relaxed length does not get defined with oil only unfortunately. So if I want to wear a wash n go, I'll have to use leave-in and gel still.

I am glad to hear it worked for you, sweetie!

I am going to stop adding JBCO to my beloved Natures Blessing hair grease. It loosens it texture and I end up using more than I want to at times. As jar use to last a couple of months but with the JBCO it only last a few weeks, using twice a week.
