Currently pre-pooing with grapeseed oil. I haven't pre-pooed in a looooooooOOOOOooooong time. :lol:
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

I've fallen off the wagon the last week or so. I'm about to to a HOT in a few minutes.
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

Squirted a little Kukui Nut Oil in my Henna Mixture right before applying. I find that, that extra dash of Oil in the Henna Mix gives it a little kick!

@JayAnn0513, i admire your honesty.

i fell off the wagon too, but the knots i've been getting at detangle time have surely reminded me to get back with it!

so right now i've got mustard oil in a dc i've left on my hair since last night.

@IDareT'sHair, thanks for that tip! i will henna this monday and so many ladies have said "do not put oil in your mix or it will not take to your hair".
i'm only using the henna for its strengthening qualities and to act as a base for the indigo, so it's not so easy to understand why the oil is such a bad thing. it's good to see that someone else uses it successfully!

@grow

I add a squirt of Oil right before I apply it to my hair (after the dye has fully released). Just a Splash -- not much.:yep:

I've been doing this well over a year and it works fine. I use to add Amla Oil (to darken the stain as many have suggested) but I ran out and never replaced it. Alot of Ladies use Amla Oil w/Henna to darken the stain. Here's some of the ones I've used:

Amla
Wheat Germ
Soybean
EVOO
Kukui Nut
*whatever's close by*

Not much. Just a bit. I gave this tip to @Vonnieluvs08 and she has been doing it as well.

girl thank you sooooo much!

IDareT'sHair:thankyou:

i think i finally understand what the difference is!

i must be careful to put the oil in LAST, not just mix it in with the ingredients like i do with my other ayurvedic powders!:yep:

what you said about "waiting for the dye to release" is what put the light bulb on for me!:urock:

NOW it makes sense.....i CAN use the oil, i just have to be careful to mix it in at the very last minute!

i really appreciate your bringing clarity to that issue and also the list of good ones to add. whew, now i believe i'm good to go!
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

@grow

Yup.:grin: I do it as my last step.

I squirt the Oil in & stir a little right before I put on my Gloves.:yep:
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

I did a HOT last night with VF and Sunflower Oil. I finished the bottle of SO.
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

Finished Up my Henna/Indigo. After I rinsed my Indigo out, I slathered my Hair in Safflower Oil and did a warm water Oil rinse.:lick:

(Especially after reading JJamiah post about how 'dry' her hair was after Indigo'ing.

Although I've never had that 'problem' after Henna/Indigo it made me want to try a warm water oil rinse after the Process. And Safflower Oil is one of those Ceramides packed Oil.:lick:

After the Warm Water Oil rinse, I put my DC'er On and am now Steaming.

IDareT'sHair Yes, the extra oil helps with moisture (keeps your hair from drying out)

*Pumpkin seed oil....I really like it ...I think its better to use for wash & go's/Twist outs..Because it helps define your waves (even at the roots) a little goes a long way..I can be heavy handed times


Happy Hair Growing!

IDareT'sHair I was using it & it really did help with tangles..I gave it to my Mom because she always has a house full of grandchildren..

*I used it on dry hair most of the time/Wet hair I use fingers & shower comb..

I had just finished using mine and wondered how many Ladies in Our Challenge is using the Tangle Teezer.:yep:

I Love it! Although it has been getting some "Mixed" Reviews from some of the Natural Ladies.

By me being "Relaxed" It's been all Good.

I still Detangle first with something else. Today I used my Super Detangler Bone Comb I just got in the mail yesterday.

I don't have enough Hair for all that comb tho'.:lol:

Has Your Mom said anything about using it on the Grandbabies "dry"?

I have never used it on my Dry Hair.:ohwell:
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

IDareT'sHair My Mom uses it on dry hair (grandchildren) for her its the truth..because they don't cry when she combs/little ones hair & very little hair shed....

That's exactly what I wanted to know. If it worked just as well (with Tangles & Sheds) on dry hair as it does Wet.

Thanks Girl.:yep:

@growinghealthyhair

You should absolutely try it out one day.:grin:

I think you'd love it.:love:

It definitely makes your Conditioner perform better and puts your Moisture On Point.

For Me, it was definitely the best hair care purchase I've made in my HHJ.

It has been a Good Investment.:yep:

Mixed some coconut oil in with my Cholesterol for a nice DC.
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201

That HOT I did last night was just what my hair needed. I rinsed ( no poo or condish) it out this morning and my hair still feels fab. I'm goint to Poo and condish w/ the Nexxus Split End Mender Line before I hit the sack tonight. I think I might do a pony set so I'll seal with one of my many oils after I apply my lacio lacio then roll it up.
 
Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201
