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

[larieal]

I am really lovin dis thread!! I am learning about so many different oils and products, I see some of yall use mustard oil. If you don't mind me asking what does that do for your hair?

An_gel, I just started using Mustard oil after reading about it on the last oil challenge thread. I can tell you when I put it on my head it was very stimulating...a light tingly feeling. I did some research on it and it is known to help with growth. On a couple of the threads (just google it) there were ladies who said they had been to doctors who said they could do nothing for them (paraphrasing) and they started using Mustard oil and their hair grew back completely. That is all I needed to hear. I have shared it with my mom too who was having thinning problems at her crown. I'll keep you posted as to the results.

You should know it has a slight scent when you open it, but it disappears about 5 mins after you apply it. So I choose to apply it at night or during the prepoo (granted only been doign this two weeks LOL). That way I know the scent is gone before I go to work.

The DC+ Hempseed oil....... Hair was soooo soft, when I eventually twisted my hair (moisturised with aloe vera juice/glycerin/honeyquat/SAA/hydrolysed wheat protein mix, then added KCKT, and sealed with hempseed/grapeseed oil), the twists were plump and stayed moisturised.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Moisturized with Claudie Isha Hair Cream and Sealed with a bit of Surge Motion Lotion #9

 

[An_gell]

I moisturized tonight with Enso milk and honey finally got it in the mail. Hope it does well tomorrow. S/N: There has got to be some Nikos cousins here on Osan AFB cuz I went to the BX in search of some eco styler (been looking for weeks now) and all the eco styler gel is gone and so is all the S-curl..everything else in the "ethnic" hair care aisle is still there.. The common denominator has to be LHCF cuz nobody talks about S-curl and Eco styler but us..

 

[Ltown]

Went to the store to buy some apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil and of course didn't find either. Ended up buying some more coconut oil and evoo along with rice bran oil since I read that it contains ceramides. I mixed three oils in a 4 oz bottle: 1 oz coconut oil, 1 oz sesame oil, and 2 oz rice bran oil. Mixed together the oils have a light nutty smell which I like.
I trying out apple cider vinegar to deal with my itchy scalp (since I can't find the tea tree oil yet) following this video: How I cured my dandruff by 95%. Figured I might as well do a pre-wash treatment like I usually do since I have to rinse it out tomorrow so I lightly misted my hair with water, applied the mix, and then put on a shower cap. We'll see how it turns out tomorrow.

Quick question how many drops of tea tree oil should be put into say 4 oz of a given carrier oil or mixed oils?

I tried the grapeseed oil as an overnight prepoo and was impressed!

The oil was easy to shampoo out and noticed that I didn't have issues with detangling. My hair strands were smooth, soft, and shiny after the wash. I will keep this oil in rotation .
