HOTs, Oil Rinses, Ends Sealing&Scalp Oiling 9/1 - 12/31 2011

Later on this evening I'll do a scalp massage with my sulfur oil, moisturize with Oyin's Juices & Berries, and seal with grapeseed oil, concentrating on my ends.
 
wow, as much as i love oils (only thing i'm a pj about nowdays) i cant believe i didnt notice this thread, i didn't even know about the other quarters. lol I'm in! Especially since i just found a health store close to me that sells all kinds of delicious oils, waiting for me to try!

Proclaim Natural 7 Argan Oil
Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal oil
African Royal Hot 6 Oil

thanks IDareT'sHair!

:look::lachen: lol hey, its still oil right! lol it replaced "oil sheen" type oils for me (although i do love Profective Growth Sheen oil, but cant find it anywhere). its only 1 ingredient vs 50-11. when i ran out of my profectiv one day, i thought... why not? rest is history! lol :grin:
 
yup, cant wait to see others creative ideas too.

i actually read about this a long time ago (dont know if on this forum, or another). Its really just an easier way to apply the olive oil that i already use to the hair evenly when i wear braid/twist-outs (and since i spray it thinly over my "out" styles, i dont over manipulate the hair and mess up the waves/curls etc in the progress). I'd never use regular cooking spray (although i did see people using crisco oil to press hair when i was growing up), I only use the 100% olive oil spray. It's basically the same thing as in the fancy glass bottles of oil i already buy, but different packaging and easier application

all this talk about oil is making me want to oil rinse my hair now, but i straightened it last night (and dont plan on straightening again until Jan,) so i'm just going to have to hold this urge until next week...

I ended up sealing with castor oil. My twists may be a little heavy in the morning. but oh well. :lick:
 
I just washed my hair and Im currently doing an HOT with Hairveda Cocasta Oil. After I rinse I will massage my scalp with a JBCO/Vitamin E/Peppermint Oil mix & when Im done rinsing my DC I will seal my ends with Claudie's Garden Oil!
 
I used both the flax seed oil and the sunflower oil in different sections of my hair before I steamed. But then I rinsed and reparted my hair and couldn't remember which sectiions I applied which oil to. :ohwell:

Will have to try again next time. I could tell that flax seed oil is heavier than sunflower oil. But couldn't tell if I liked one better than the other.
 
IDareT'sHair. Does flaxseed oil have an odor? What kind of benefits does it have? I mean, I take an Omega 3 6 9 pill every day, but does it work on the hair when applied topically? Is it a ceramide?
 
I became a little lax with my oil use and my hair has suffered from that. Back to my moisturing and sealing with my coconut, seseame, rice oil mixture. Love that stuff! Using it to pre-shampoo and seal.
 
@LaidBak

It's been awhile, but when I purchased it I was looking for EFA (Essential Fatty Acids) Oil and Flaxseed Oil popped up in my Search so I got it.

I can't remember what it smelled like? But it wasn't 'offensive' that I can recall.

I thought it was a little 'expensive' tho. I think I only had like 6 ounces.

But I used it right up (so I musta' liked it:lol:)

Because it was hiding in my cabinet behind something else.:blush:
 
LaidBak I know you didn't ask me but I use virgin flax seed oil so I thought I would add my two cents.

It doesn't have an odor and it's very light , non greasy and absorbs quickly .
I've found that adding it to my mix I use for HOT's have improved my moisture retention.
As IDareT'sHair said it can be a bit expensive , I paid $11 for 8.45oz at my local supermarket and I've seen it for as much as $15 elsewhere.
HTH
 
curlyhersheygirl Thanks Curly!:grin: I may look at my Health Food Store next time I go to pick up some Braggs ACV.

*oh snap* I just rememember No Oil until 2012.:blush:

I ordered mine on-line so it was pretty pricey with Shipping & all. I think I got mine from Mountain Rose Herbs along with Hempseed and something else.

IDareT'sHair 2012 will be here soon enough and I know you have lots of oils to hold you until then. Just keep it in mind until then.
 
oil rinsed with blend of oils infused with henna, amla, brahmi and maka before swim class. About to do another oil rinse with maka infused sesame oil. If I go swimming again this evening, will do another oil rinse ...:look:
 
felic1 ppo= pre-poo, a Pre-Shampooing treatment. Many of us are doing a hot oil treatment or moisture treatment before shampooing. Hope that helps!
 
I am protecting my previously relaxed hair with my shealoe butter tonight before relaxing my hair with Lianage Shea Butter Relaxer tomorrow morning.
 
I been using my enso serum, have a little left maybe i will infuse some grapeseed with brahmi thats been sitting around.
 
i'm innnnn if it's still okay to join!

i'd forgotten how much i love oil rinses and such.

i went out and got some castor oil...slathered it on top of my kenra mc dc that had been marinating in my hair since last night. left it on for about 15 minutes or so, rinsed with cool/cold water and ohhhh my hair feels divine. that castor oil definitely boosted my moisture levels. feels so soft and moisturized.

why do i never keep up with doing this?!

so i'll be oil rinsing with castor oil to seal in moisture from conditionings and then using oyin burnt sugar pomade to style twists and seal moisture out of the shower.
