HOTs, Oil Rinses, Ends/Scalp Sealing Challenge 5/1/11- 8/31/11

I did my 1st official Chicoro's prepoo yesterday using Almond oil. Also did my mom's hair. Then I shampooed with Elasta QP Soy Oyl. My hair felt great.

I oil rinsed using either Jojoba oil or Almond Oil. Don't remember. :ohwell: But I followed it with a conditioner that I was just trying to use up. So my hair felt just so, so. Don't know that I need to do a prepoo and an oil rinse at the same time but using up oils.

I sealed my damp hair with Jojoba oil. It left my hair soft but I think sunflower oil may be better for me because it isn't soo oily.

I am definitely adding prepoo's to my regimen. Will continue to experiment with oil rinses and which oils to seal with. Want to try apply the oil to my wet hair vs. damp hair.
 
I would like to join this time. I lurked in the last one but never officially joined as I was mad late. Anyway, because I am new to this, the only things in my arsenal are:

EVOO
Coconut oil

I've been doing an oil rinse on my shampoo days (once a week) with EVOO because I was looking for something to help with high porosity issues. Haven't used my coconut oil just because I don't want to use it up so quickly because that is my sealing oil. I heard that Avocado oil or wheat germ oil would be good for that as well so I plan on getting one of these (or both :grin:) this weekend and try it out.
 
I`m in! My first challenge.

I`ll be using:

-Jojoba Oil for sealing ends
-Coconut, Carrot, JBCO for scalp massaging every other day
-Proclaim 7 Olive Oil for oil rinses each wash

I`ve just started incorporating oil rinses and sealing into my regimen -- I`m new to this type of thing, but I love the results so far.
 
I co wash Sunday, oil scalp w/amla & coconut oil mix, sealed ends w/grapeseed oil, wrapped hair in a bun, I am sooooo in love amla & coconut oil mix together love the two smells together(tropical kinda scent) grapeseed oil is gucci for the ends wowzers!!!
 
Oooh, count me in. :yep:

Did a preepoo with EVOO before spin class and then hit the sauna for about 30 mins. After washing, I LOVED my hair. It was so soft.

I usually seal with Coconut oil and use a Jojoba/Castor oil mix for my scalp but I'm going to start the oil prepoos for sure with these results.

My main oils:
Coconut
Jojoba
Castor
EVOO

Want to try and incorporate some grapeseed and avocado oils as well.
 
I did an oil rinse this weekend and my hair was so much easier to detangle. I need to get back to this. I really want to "baby" my ends. I'm no good with challenges because I never stick to them or check in on a regular basis. My new crisis is trying to find out what to do with my hair this summer. Whatever I decide it will include oils - I love Vatika but I also have (based on my memory):
- vatika
- extra virgin coconut oil
- extra virgin olive oil
- wheat germ oil (in the kitchen)
- vatika frosting
- shikaikai oil
- grapeseed oil
- jamaican black castor oil
 
Please tell me again - what is the difference in the three procedures?

Glad to see we're continuing this my hair has really been better since I started using more oils.

I'll be using the following in either mixes or straight to pre poo, HOT ,oil rinse and seal.

Hemp
EVOO
CO
Grapeseed
Flaxseed
Castor
Mustard
SSI Pumpkin seed oil mix
Komaza moku oil
cocasta oil
avasoya oil
 
Thanks for the mention!

I recently purchased Salerm 21 Essential Oil Conditioning. I went to a Dominican salon last Thursday and the hair stylist used it. My hair still feels silky!

I will use Hot Six, WEN Lavender, and EVOO in rotation as prepoos.

Coconut oil and Pure Argan Oil in rotation to seal.
 
Last Night I oiled my scalp with Brahmi..Dampen my hair with water/applied Yucca Growth lotion...JBCO on edges...Rice bran on length..Hair back in bun...



Happy Hair Growing!
 
IDareT'sHair, this thread is bigger than the last one. Oiling is a daily routine for me so i'm in here with you again, sharing and learning. Lita, I know you got some new inventions!
 
I just finished massaging my scalp with Claudies Elixir and then braided and sealed my length and ends with virgin coconut oil.

Sent from my DROIDX using Long Hair Care Forum App
 
castor oil was used to seal and as an oil rinse this morning, wore two wet CUTE pigtails today :) oh and of course as a scalp oil
 
I did an overnight prepoo with coconut/rice bran/argan/grapeseed oil a few days ago before my wash. Actually I did it two nights on a row because I didn't have time to wash after the first one. Last night I moisturized and sealed with coconut oil. I'm trying to be more consistent with sealing. Thats the step I always forget.
 
IDareT'sHair,thanks for directing me over lady!
We're back!
I'm still actively doing this,and I have used up a castor oil,a castor and efa blend, a shea moisture restorative elixir, and Ultra Sheen ultra care moisture blend since the original challeng started. I am also 75% through my Anita Grant sapote castor oil,which I purchased about 1.5 weeks ago.*shameface*.
My efa blend,as well as my grapeseed oil are both big sizes,so they're taking forever to finish up,but I'm working through them. Is have used the grapeseed oil the least,as I prefer all my other oils and pomades. My Darcy's Botanicals coconut cupuacu pomade is about 80% finished as well,since I abandoned Oyin bsp when I got it.
I am doing well,I just have to stop buying new ones. Lol. I will definitely replace the Anita Grant as soon as it is gone though. I have so many uses for it,but the most rewarding would have to be mixing it with Oyin hair dew. I thought I would have to find a new leave in moisturizer for the summer,but this has been a winning combo. Much worry eased off of my shoulders with this find.
EDIT: Also used up about 8ozs of argan oil.

Oiled scalp last night using a jojoba/castor oil mix. Sealed ends with Jane Carter Nourish and Shine.

Have an old braid-out now so just pulled back into a loose messy topknot.
 
Last night I mixed up an oil blend (jojoba, almond, sage EO, rosemary EO, lavendar EO, basil EO) to help with my crown and edges. I will be using this for all my treatments: prepoos, HOTs, scalp massages. I will also add it to Chicoro's leave in and in my conditioners.
