Currently doing an overnight oil treatment with avocado, olive and wgo. My plan is to do overnight oil treatments on friday night and as a newbie nail fantic also take off my nail polish that night and do oil treatments on my nails as well:yep:
 
Oiled my scalp & hair with castor oil last night. Will probably use my growth aid tonight.

I can't even remember which one it is. It's in a jar, it might be Lenzi's request or something, I have no clue :nono:, cause I tore off the label because it smeared :ohwell:.
 
I FINALLY detangled my hair. Oiled my scalp with my castor oil mix. My wash day is tomorrow. I am hiding my granny plaits under my theatre cap. :giggle:

My oil infusions are coming along nicely....I had decided in the end to do a grapeseed oil infusion with horsetail, nettle, fenugreek seeds and chamomile; and a coconut oil infused with cinnamon and black cumin seeds. :grin:
 
Last Night I used Camille Rose Growth Oil, doing this every other night b4 bed.......

Idare you know I luvs ya right!! :)
 
I'm in, though light on the oils. Trying to get through: (the from nature w/love oils didn't last long before turning. I'm having to work through them quickly. The butters are alright)

*Pumpkin (mountain rose is the best brand),
*a bottle of sunflower that looks to be going bad
*avocado

Others on the current rotation
*Pequi
*Argan - great for damp flatironing
*Camellia - great for damp flatironing
 
Started 4 mason jars with neem oil infusions:

* 2 jars with castor, almond and an eyedropper of tea tree oil
* 2 jars with EVOO and an eyedropper of tea tree oil
 
I'm getting tired of my straight hair already.:look: I think I'm going to run upstairs and hit my scalp with some castor oil.:lick:
 
I think I forgot to add my starting pic...

I've done a scalp massage yesterday with tea tree oil, rosemary oil, castor oil, hemp seed oil mix. I heavy sealed today with a Tucuma butter mix and I baggied today. I hope all you ladies are doing well!

Yessss. I'm so in (again) and this time will be more active. :yep:

I'm currently using a mix of olive, castor and pimiento oil. I plan to buy some more oils soon. Any high-prized recommendations? :D
 
Just Massaged in some Claudie's Rejuvenating Hairline & Temple Balm Revitalizer into Scalp, Edges, Crown & Nape.

Will repeat this evening.
 
Sooo...I decided to try that deep moisture method deal, so I dampened my braids, put some ao hsr on sections and tried to get it into the hair well...then I sealed (which I don't usually do) with my crazy oil/butter mixture that has left over oyin burnt sugar pomade, castor, sunflower, rice bran, avocado, apricot oils and cocoa butter...haven't used that mix in a long time....and I saran wrapped my head and let it marinate...dmm + saran baggy...dunno how it'll work, but we'll see
 
Just finished oiling my scalp with the castor oil. Then I sealed the rest of my hair with argan oil. I feel much better now.:yep:
 
moisturize with banana conditioner by the body shop, seal with brazilian butters and softee indian hemp on ends.

choctaw, mixologist i'm going to have a page in my hair journal just for you:grin:

Ltown,

Okay, I will give you the details. Change the numbers to fit your situation :grin:

16 oz mason jar
4 oz neem powder
8 oz castor oil
top jar off with almond oil
eyedropper of tea tree oil

16 oz mason jar
4 oz neem powder
fill jar with Bertolli extra virgin olive oil
eyedropper of tea tree oil

Place jars in large old pot of water on stove with water level just below neck of the jars.. Bring water to a boil. Turn down heat and let jars sit in the hot water for 2 to 3 hours or until you get tired of adding water as it evaporates. Let the water cool before you remove the jars (allows extra heating time without you watching the pot). Store jars in a cool dark place for at least a week before filtering the oil into your applicator bottles.

I use 91% alcohol to sterilize jars and lids. The alcohol kills any spores, bacteria, etc. that soap and water may have missed. I stuff a paper towel inside each jar to absorb alcohol before adding powder and oils. Walmart sells mason jars in a variety of sizes.

I use an old pot because the jars may slide around if there is empty space and will scar the bottom of the pot. You can buy old pots at thrift stores or garage sales if you want to protect your cookware. You can also use a crock pot or a large roasting pan with water in the oven. I scarred the bottom of a big old pot the first time I did this. I can't cook with it because the food would stick on bottom so it became the "heat bath" for oil infusions.

choctaw, you have given me more than enough to step up my infusion game. i also use a small crockpot. I use coconut, other ceramieds oil but i know olive oil pentration to the shaft is better. I have alot of jars, but never infuse long enough except for garlic oil. Thanks for sharing. Ladies take note:grin:
 
I want to join this one IDareT'sHair. Could you please add the link to the first challenge in your original post pretty please.

Ltown,

You are most welcome.

I believe that the coconut oil has deepest penetration within the hair shaft. I don't recall which oils are second and third -- olive or avocado oil? I love coconut oil for pomades. Castor oil is rich and the infusions are excellent for skin and hair. I used avocado oil for my ends but I love the taste so it ended up on vegetables and meat dishes :lick:

I do a lot of oil rinses. KISS works for me. I try to buy oils that can be used for hair, skin and cooking ... or at least 2 out of the three. :yep:
 
We have some really knowledgable Women in this Thread. :kiss:

Some real Mix-Masters in there own right.

So much knowledge about the various Oils, Powders and their performance.

Thank You Ladies, for bringing that knowledge into this thread & sharing it.

For those that want to Learn more about Infusion(s), this has been a teachable moment.:bookworm:
 
I will be using:

Extra Dark JBCO
Hydratherma Naturals Oil
Shi Naturals Grow Potion
Claudie's Vere oil
b.a.s.k. Sweet Manna hair serum
Argan Oil
Claudie's Montego Bay oil
Mix of brahmi, amla, neem, hempseed, garlic olive oil, JBCO, sesame oil, mustard seed oil
SD Nourish oil

POMADES:
SD Aaliyah's pomade
SD PRE
Shi Naturals Pre Poo
Claudie's Tiffani Ceramide Pomade
It's Perfectly Natural Pre treatment
Saravun Castor hair cream
 
Ladies, for those doing HOTs, do you simply raise the temp of your oil and then apply to your hair? Just making sure I'm doing this right -- I microwave water, then sit my oil in the warm water until the oil warms up, then apply to my hair.

tiffers, let me see if I got this, apply oil to dry hair, steam for XX minutes and then all is good? Do you moisturize/seal your hair that night? How do you know when your hair is ready for oil steaming?
