Oiled scalp with castor oil after my weekly cowash. Not quite satisfied with the application process. Rubbed oil in palm, trying to focus on fingertips and then tried to massage scalp. Felt like I was loosing the oil to my hair before I could get my fingers to my scalp. Anyone have any tips on getting the oil onto your scalp? Castor oil seems too thick for an application bottle...or maybe not.

The giveaway is closed but the challenge is still open. You are more than welcome to join us. I'll add you to the list.
Try using an applicator bottle to apply your oil. This way, you can get it directly onto your scalp or any specific problem areas you may have. They are like a dollar at the BSS--same applicator bottles you'd use for applying hair color. Works like a charm--its not too thick at all. And you can adjust the flow by cutting the tip of the bottle if need be (I've never had to do this though).

just got thru oiling my scalp under my sew-in........
any ideas what to do with my leave out because oiling that part of my scalp 2-3 times a week makes it to producty/greasy and i only have time to wash/cowash airdry an style once a week
plus here in japan its too cold to airdry more than that

TruMe alot of us use a Castor Oil mixed with a lighter oil to make application easier. The effectiveness of the Castor Oil is not reduced.
Mine is 50/50 Castor Oil and Jojoba Oi with a few drops of Lavender and Rosemary Oil.
The last batch i made up i added some Hot Six Oil too because it's full of good stuff and i love the smell. I use an applicator bottle.

i could but since i heat style idk that would be a bit much 1 a week is bad enough.... but i think i might just oil leave out once a week and then pre-poo with the castor oil on washday

Count me in...I will be using JBCO on my edges and sealing at 3x a week. I am trying to prevent post postpartum shedding because last time I lost my edges lol.

Lately, I've been using Oyin's Hair Dew as my form of Castor Oil. I will go back to using my mix (JBCO,Rosemary EO, Sulfur) once I am in box braids (which I planning on getting done this weekend). I'm not liking the way Rosemary EO smells so until I get my hands on some "nice smelling" EOs I'm gonna lay off of it.

Last night, I massaged my scalp and hairline with CO, sprayed my hair with a mixed leave in (water, KCKT, and aloe vera juice), made 4 braids, put Hot 6 oil on the length, and put CO on the ends. Rocking the braid out until further notice!
