I used vatika oil as a pre-poo and then cowashed. I only meant to leave the oil on for one hour, but I fell asleep so it was more like three hours. My hair was definitely softer and more moisturized. I will have to try it with shampoo to see if it works just as well.
Just co-signing that this method really does work. I've been touching my hair all day (not helping the low manipulation ). I'm not protective styling, and I've got no tangles.

Alright I'll try it tonight before my rollerset. I can't try it from scratch this time though because last night I pre-pooed with an ORS Hair Mayo and EVOO mix and detangled using my comb into two braids. I slept on this overnight. This morning I shampooed in the braids with KeraCare and ORS Creamy Aloe. Then I put on an ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Pack and a plastic cap and then a head scarf and that's where I stopped to go to work. So after work I will try an oil rinse at least to see for moisture purposes. If this works getting though this month stretch will be a breeze! How long do you leave the oil on before rinsing? I can't wait!!!

Oh darn! Somebody else asked that too...
I've done it two ways. One was about an hour with heat... that was beyond amazing, but usually I only do 2-3 minutes in the shower.
can you do this with regular old Hot Six Oil?
OK, another question oke: :whipped:
Sorry, but I am old and slow when it comes to the new and improved methods...
To do this oil-rinse, I should:
1. Poo
2. add my fav. oil (saturate hair)
3. put my conditioner on top of oil. Bag it...
4. leave on hair for the time I want.
5. rinse out, then proceed with leave-ins and then roller set..
I need help with tangles too...
TIA
When I put oil on top of my conditioner it turns into a gunky mess on me. Don't get me wrong your hair will still benefit, but I think rinses a little cleaner if you...OK, another question oke: :whipped:

Gonna give this a try on Saturday and see how it works.
So just how much oil are you ladies using?
Also..just when do you detangle?
If you're having problems with tangles try this...
Rinse (or shampoo) your hair
Coat in your favorite oil (I've used olive, meadowfoam, dabur alma, and aphogee EFA oil, red palm oil/butter)
Rinse with warm/hot water
Apply conditioner
Rinse
Apply leave-in
Seal
This was the initial post. I think you are supposed to rinse the oil out and then proceed to conditioning. When I try this, I will let you know
i will try this tonight i actually started taking my leave in moisturizer then rinsing, that helped detangled easy but it seem to be a waste. Then i tried using a gloss serum like ic apply that after i washed and condition then detangled but it sounds like this oil rinse would be better.
I mean we have the domincan conditoner rinses, and that has oil in them so this has to work. I like it thanks sareca
i wonder if you can do this during the hennaing process??

2a. leave the oil as long as you want (with heat or without)
2b. rinse oil with hot water

I'm so glad you asked, do oil rinses before and after henna. It works extremely well to combat dryness and tangles after a henna treatment.
I also never thought about dominican rinses having oil in them. That's a good point.
Typically I ignore threads about detangling methods and products. I have for the last year or so. I thought my hair's health or my big chop had something to do with how easily it detangles. That is absolutely NOT the case. The oil-rinse method is why it detangles so easily. My hair completely detangles under just running water! Keep in mind I've recently adopted a low manipulation regimen. So the last time I detangled was at least a week (or more) ago.
If you're having problems with tangles try this...I'm not alone other people think it a miracle too...http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=2679989#post2679989
