Can someone point me to.....

[sillygurl18]

the post or explain exactly how to use oils? I know you don't just put them straight from the bottle into your hair. TIA

Please clarify. Are you talking about Essential oils? (i.e. rosemary, tea tree, peppermint etc)

Carrier oils (EVOO, jojoba, safflower etc)?

Here's one: Essential/Carrier Oils

Actually I do. I don't apply them to dry hair though, because they tend to just sit there and look greasy. But after I wash/condition, I apply my leave-in and then just pour the oil in my hands and apply it throughout my hair down to the ends. Then I style it however.

If I'm doing a pre-shampoo/hot oil treament. I pour the oil into an applicator bottle first. That way I can get it down to my scalp and as I massage my scalp it works it's way down to the ends.

Now that I've read Brooke's post, I should clarify that I was talking about carrier oils like jojoba, olive, coconut, avocado . . .

Essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, clove, etc. should always be added to a carrier oil first.
