Don't sleep on oil-rinses!

[IDareT'sHair]

So, today I am doing an Oil Soak with Mustard Seed. Will Cleanse this out in a few.

Will also use Rice Bran Oil with my DC'er today.

I found my Red Palm Oil. For Some skrange reason I always hide the funky Oils from myself.

I am determined to use them up tho' and this is the perfect way to get rid of them.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Mustard Seed has a definite warm 'tingle' to it.

My "Goal" is to stay on this (Oil Rinsing) Hard throughout the Winter.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I ended up using Babbasu Oil on top of my DC'er.

I had bought this recently and was surprised to see it is almost like Coconut Oil (a Solid).

However, it is much more solid and it doesn't emulsify down as quickly as Coconut Oil and takes more work to do that.

Once I finish this up, I won't repurchase.

Oh, the good thing about it, is it doesn't really have a smell.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I ended up placing a small order with Piping Rock for:
Wheat Germ Oil
Flaxseed Oil

Continuing with the Oil Rinsing/Oil Soaking etc....and I'm Lovin' It!

Please, your review of your new oils. I'm about to begin my cleanse routine myself.

I've had both before, but never used them as Rinses. So, it will be interesting. Both are Rich in Omegas and Fatty Acids.

I definitely need to try them both. Are they light oils?

@traceedeebee

I would consider both Medium weight. Not as Heavy as Castor but not as light as Grapeseed. (If that makes sense)?

It actually makes perfect sense Safflower oil turned out to be on the lighter side. I can use more medium weight oils. I don't really need to mix when I use them. I also like to keep them in stock all year round. Castor oil or JBCO get used heavily in the winter. Any other time, I'm diluting it with apricot, sesame, or grape seed oils. I love oils. There have not been many my hair or skin don't like.

You should come join us in the 2016 Oil Challenge! (Whenever I get it up)

We would love to have you. I'll see you a mention.

I will definitely join. I've incorporated it into my routine since my hair is not in a protective style. Oil rinsing has been a detangling blessing

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@traceedeebee

I Agree.

It sure has. It has done a 180 on my entire detangling process.

 

[felic1]

umm, I want in on the oil rinsing 2016 group

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@felic1
I don't think there will be a 'separate' Oil Rinsing Thread. We were just going to post here.

 

[traceedeebee]

I was a little worried because I left my 2 minute protein treatment on too long while I made a 2 ingredients pumpkin cake My hair was hard while rinsing the protein out which it normally isn't. After I rinsed the protein out, I oil rinsed. I let it sit while I showered and my hair was soft again. Everything is right with my hair world now.
Note to self: Don't look up recipes on Pinterest when I'm protein treating my hair. I can't focus on two things at once.

@traceedeebee

Glad you got things back on track.

I had a bottle of Pure Red Palm Oil. I cut it out of the bottle and put it in a Jar.

I'm still trying to figure out how they got it in a bottle, because it is sort of thick and was very hard to get out.

I'll probably use it next Wash Day. I like it, but it stains (towels etc...) so you have to be careful with it.

This is probably a dumb question. Is red palm oil a liquid or solid oil? I haven't run across that one.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@traceedeebee

A Semi-Solid (not a dumb question at all) I had no idea when I 1st bought it that it was a Semi-Solid?

Does it have the consistency of coconut oil? Or mango butter? I don't like that it stains but I'm curious

@traceedeebee
FYI

 

[traceedeebee]

@IDareT'sHair Oh, I understand now. I've only used mango butter to make a body butter when I have cocoa butter in stock. I'll be watching to see how it works out for you.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@traceedeebee I've used it before. Works Great!

 

[traceedeebee]

@IDareT'sHair Oh, ok. It's a definite for my to try out list. I'm way over due to make a batch of body butter. I over extended myself this month so I'm always too exhausted to whip up a batch.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used EVCO as a Pre-Oil Rinse to 'loosen things up"

Will use Red Palm on top of my DC'er to Steam with.

Will use Rice Bran with my Leave-in and maybe as a Final Rinse.

My Wheat Germ and Flaxseed Oils came yesterday. So I have some new oils to rinse in.

 

[traceedeebee]

@IDareT'sHair Is it odd that I got excited just reading about your new oil arriving?

 

[AgeinATL]

Gonna oil rinse tomorrow with gleau oil. I want to try a lighter oil to see how my hair responds.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Today I used EVCO and Rice Bran Oil and Finger Detangled to remove Sheds, Knots, etc...Before Cleansing.

I used Wheat Germ Oil on top of my DC'er to steam with.

Will use Rice Bran with my Leave-In

 

[AgeinATL]

Um...NO. Gleau oil is WAYYYY too light for my hair. Going back to EVOO.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@AgeinATL

I used Wheat Germ a recommendation from @divachyk @Beamodel and it worked well.

Next Wash Day, I will use it at the beginning of my Wash.

Today, I used it on top of my DC'er to Steam with. (It was a little too heavy for me that way) but I think it will work great as a Pre-Rinse.

I thought about trying WGO. I think I actually have some lying around. Will try it for my next wash. Thanks T!
