Do you put oils on your scalp?

[carib_n_curly]

LOL. I wouldn't say that, but this is the benefits that I have had. I think that oiling the scalp can promote growth but whether or not it is 'necessary', IDK.

i oil my scalp and i got my bro gf to start doing that and her edges which never grow is growing and filling in and a spot that her got burned when she was lil never had no hair and now it's filling in a growing.

it has benefits but you don't have to oil your scalp if you have a oily scalp forget it but if you have a dry scalp it can help. i oil about 1 a week it's up to you. you don't HAVE to but it depends on the persons scalp.

I put the EO mix on my scalp.

 

[BrownSkin2]

I massage castor oil and vatika oil combo into my scalp about twice a week. I think it helps with growth and dry scalp.

 

[LovelyLionessa]

During the week I like to massage my scalp with amla, brahmi and bringraj oils. On wash days I sometimes oil with Vatika oil.

 

[wheezy807]

I put oil on my scalp as far as for scalp massages and when i can remember i use Boundless Tresses (a growth aide) directly on the scalp.
Lately i've been forgeting to do both, so other than that NOTHING on the scalp.

Ugh this poll makes me sad because I just don't want to start putting crap on my scalp.

 

[dream13]

Nah. I don't put anything on my scalp.

You don't have too! Do what works for you. If you are having success by not oiling then your fine. If you feel that oiling may benefit you then give it a whirl.

As for me I oil my scalp with WGHO (keeps the NG soft) or Ojon Restorative Treatment (normally the day before I wash).

 

[iasade]

I oil mine with EVOO or coconut oil.

 

[ChasingBliss]

I dont put oils on my scalp. I dont feel the need to.

I oil my scalp with the world's original antibacterial agent - castor oil! I do this 3 x weekly since 11/11 and I've gotten noticeably thicker hair - and it's a whole lot softer now too I'm so in love with this stuff I ordered 3 32 oz bottles from oilsbynature.com!!!

The smell didn't bother you? I ordered a bottle as well and couldnt handle the smell. I'm using it up by mixing w/ my DC.

I'm using Black Castor oil on my scalp. Smell doesnt bother me and i still put EO's in it to speed up stuff.

 

[LadyKaypnyc]

Yup, once a week...

I don't use the same oils each time, I switch it up depending on how my scalp has been behaving that week.

 

[Summer 74]

Yup I oil my scalp,
I oil my edges and nape with natural oasis oil. These are my weak areas!

 

[hOnii]

No. My hair is too fine for that, the oil would definitely weigh my hair down and make my bangs separate!

 

[cutenappygrl]

That's the exact same thing I do - edges and nape w/ natural oasis - b/c those are the areas that thinned out due to wearing tight extensions. And it is filling in - slowly but surely. I've also been struggling w/dermatitis. I've been told to keep the scalp clean - and I do use dandruff shampoo twice a week. So afterwards I add oil to those areas and they seem to be doing better. I was a bit skeptical at first b/c other commercial products I put on my scalp did nothing and may have even clogged my pores - but using natural oils seem to work just fine. I think I will continue to oil my scalp after my thin areas fill in and my dermatitis goes away b/c it doesn't hurt.

 

[PeggyFair]

Nope, I co-wash daily and use my condtioner as a leave in and seal with castor oil and when I brush my hair, I just assume that the oil is distributed to my scalp as my scalp is never dry and always looks hydrated.

 

[Tylove101]

yes, I oil my scalp with coconut oil at least once a week.

 

[Msmia]

Which oils did your brother's gf use?

 

[nnmiles]

Where do you get peppermint oil, and all these other oils you all are mentioning, in the beauty supply store???

Health food store or gnc, or you can order them online...

 

[LivingDoll]

Putting oil on my scalp causes dandruff build up. I don't do it. I keep my scalp clean.

^^^ITA...it took me years to figure this out.

 

[SpiritJunkie]

As someone else mentioned it is mos def a cultural thing. I no longer "grease" my scalp and my scalp isn't as dry as it use to be. My kids no longer do it either and everyone's hair is growing fine with no dandruff. That use to be a big problem for us all.

 

[skyborn09]

I do because I'm tryin 2 c if it will help feel in my edges

 

[prospurr4]

I never oil my scalp...I just keep it clean by co-washing weekly and that's it.

 

[MizAvalon]

I don't put anything on my scalp.

 

[FindingMe]

coconut mostly for a scalp massage 1-2/week...

 

[BillyJay]

Yep. I use oils that are specifically rich in Omega fatty acids directly on my scalp.

 

[Irresistible]

I love oils on my scalp!

 

[Miss*Tress]

I voted no, but actually when the winter weather gets really cold, I do rub some coconut oil on my scalp each time I wash my hair.
