Does Anyone Not Use Oil on their Hair??

[biancaelyse]

I've been natural for about 15 years now with a 3B/3C texture.

I simplified my regimen to cowashing with Tresemme for Curly hair and using Wen as my leave in, a dab of Ecostyler gel to minimize frizz.

Over the summer, I didn't pack my grapeseed oil on vacation and went oil free for a week.

I've been oil free ever since.

I use Indian powders like Fenugreek, Brahmi, Amla and Henna every other week so my hair is strong with very little shedding.

Is anyone else oil free?

I just started going oil free about 3 weeks ago. My products do have some oil in them though. For the past few weeks, I have been using a leave-in, a moisturizer, spritzing with a glycerin spray and then twisting with a curling cream.

I haven't perfected it yet but my hair in the past 3 weeks without oil has done better than the past year with oils.

^^^^Exactly. I know the products I use contain oils but my hair doesn't seem to need a separate oil. We'll see what my hair says this winter when it gets cold outside.

Keep us updated. I am still looking for the right product to seal my ends. My moisturizer doesn't seem to be enough for that.

I find that oils just leave my hair feeling greasy. I'm down to using some vatika on wash day and the day after, but otherwise it's not necessary. Same with butters/whipped butters.

I plan on experimenting with oil and lanolin as a sealer once the weather gets colder.

I seal my damp hair with Wen and that seems to be enough for now. I've also been using Fenugreek for the past 2 weeks and that seems to be very moisturizing as well.

I've been oil free for months. My hair is very fine and it just weighs my hair down and makes it look very bad.

I don't use oil very much either. sometimes I use very very sparingly, like literally a dab for my whole head. My hair sticks together a lot and feels hard when I use pretty much any type of oil.
I do the same thing you do with conditioner. I use it as a leave-in because it's the only thing that hasn't made my hair feel real greasy and it makes it SO soft, of course, lol. I have fine hair and am a 3 as well

I don't use oils either. Oils make my hair and scalp very very dry. I don't know why.

I don't use oils. I will use serums though. Right now I am loving Living Proof Serum that contain no oils or silicones and I love it.
