Oil rinsed/finger-detangled with apricot kernel oil and my sample of JBCO. The JBCO does have an over-roasted nutty scent, but not strong enough to bother me. It is definitely thicker and stickier than the regular cold-pressed stuff. I need to get a sample of the darker version to see if there is any difference.

The shedding has returned to normal after stopping the Derma-E. I need to find a way to incorporate vitamin E without overdoing it. If any substance can curb shedding, it can also stunt growth.
 
Oil rinsed/finger-detangled with broccoli seed oil. I am not using any other product so I can gauge its behavior on my hair. Slippery on the skin, it does not penetrate like pumpkin seed oil does and is thinner in comparison. I can detangle under running water with it very well, and its slipperiness lasts longer than pumpkin seed’s. No greasiness or roughness. It does leave a trace film on the hair on the level of jojoba, not as thick as castor, hempseed, or safflower. After my hair dried, it feels like I can only go a day or two without hydrating my hair again, just like with jojoba. My scalp feels a bit tight. I think it may have to be either mixed with other oils or used along with aloe as a light sealer for twists. I will not be using it alone again.

The weak JBCO is next…

@Sharpened where did you purchase your broccoli seed oil?
 
I'm discovering that pomades are the way to go for my natural hair. I have extremely dry hair and scalp. Like my scalp makes no moisture whatsoever. With my relaxed hair I could get away with just oils but my natural hair laughs at oils. All I'm using is vaseline(the one with cocoa butter added) and leave in conditioner and that tames and moisturizes my natural hair.

Interesting! How were you incorporating the Derma-E oil in your regimen?
 
I used it alone for oil rinsing because I was about to toss it. My skin hates it but my hair and scalp loves it. I am planning to get bottles of straight synthetic and natural vitamin E to mix with other oils.
Would you massage your scalp with it as well or just oil rinse on the length?

And why not buy the same brand again and mix it with your other oils?

I massage my scalp every time I oil rinse to get rid of shed skin cells no matter the oil. I use aloe to make sure dead cells are not sticking to my scalp.

The Derma-E costs between $11-14, while I can get the same amount of vitamin E oil for half that, plus I want to see how it works with other oils and by itself.

Fair enough! Thanks a lot dear!
 
Stayed in the house all day and didn't put any product in my hair. I went to the Alikay website and ordered travel sizes of many of her pomades. Can't wait until it comes then each week I will try a product to see if it agrees with my hair. It seems like this product line caters to dry hair and scalp like mine.

I did a scalp massage with Vitamin E oil mixed in grapeseed oil and left on for 30 minutes before cowashing my hair. I ended up greasing my scalp again with the same mixture afterwards before styling :giggle: This is also my second time using guava tea in my spray bottle instead of plain water. I spray to keep my hair very wet before applying my gel. My hair dried soft and moisturized.

That combo sound nice! See if the vitamin E oil reduces your shedding over time as well. I want to know if was just a fluke on my head.
