Re: HOTs, Oil Rinses, Scalp Oiling, End Sealing Challenge Feb 1, 2011 - April 30, 201
ladies, i am so excited about an oil i just made!
well, there's a thread about thinning and shedding that said coffee oil was good to prevent these things from happening, so i made some!
then, since i've always loved garlic oil, onion juice and hot pepper (cayenne) oil, i got a large jar and filled it with coffee beans, cinnamon (they said that was good too and the dominican conditioners always use it as an ingredient), red hot peppers, a sliced up onion, and a head of garlic!
i covered it in evoo and put it in hot water to "cook" for about 8 hrs.
when it was done, i strained it, then put it in a dark glass container to which i added essential oils. (rosemary, lavender, cedarwood, thyme, sandalwood, peppermint)
i love love love it!
now i'm just trying to figure out a way to make it more of a "pomade" for easier application.
by chance, i found that when i throw evoo and melted coconut oil into a plastic container, i end up with a spreadable pomade of both!
this cuts down on the dripping usually associated with using oils and i can slather more on.
but when i tried to mix the coconut oil with my latest homemade oil, it remained drippy...which could also be because of the liquids from the eo's. but if i throw it in the fridge, it does get solid until i take it out, whereas the evoo/coconut oil batch i indirectly turned into a pomade, can sit at room temperature and remains the consistency of soft ice cream.
any tips on how to thicken up this new batch that's got the eo's in it?
i'd love to spread that on my scalp every day without having to go back and forth from the kitchen, lol!
thanks and hhj ladies!!!
