Roller setters....When do you oil?

[Reslnt1]

I am having some difficulty figuring out when to oil my scalp. Do I oil while my hair is wet just b 4 i put in my rollers or after my hair has dried? my friend says that oil preior to setting makes the hair hard, but when i set w/o oil my hair is dry and so is my scalp.

Well mizani h2o cream hairdress is a good scalp and hair moisturizing agent to use after a roller set. That's what I use before putting on a serum. The conditioning hairdress is light enough to not weigh down in your hair and will keep it soft.
Good luck

I apply oil to each curl after I remove the roller,to give some sheen, I don't apply to the scalp, it usually is not dry,I do apply oil to my damp hair after moisturizing, if I am tying it down for the night, or pincurling, hth

i don't use oil

i wash, then put a moisturizor (ORS olive oil for now) and then seal it in with hot six oil, concentrating on the ends, i don't do anything to my scalp. then set and let airdry overnight. if it still feels dry after i take the rollers out, i put more moisturizor in.

After washing my hair is very wet, I put in my leave-ins and seal with oil, then I rollerset. When it is finished, my hair is perfectly moisturized. I don't put anything on my scalp, because I don't believe you need to. I think the natural oils (sebum) that the scalp secretes is enough.

I use to seal my ends before I roll them but as for the scalp I do it before. I always ration that the heat from the dryer will do something beneficial to the oil and thus I am good. For me though its Peppermint oil and my MN mix (when I remember, I am so random). I don't see why it wouldn't work the same for a regular oil though.

I mix a dollop of Salerm 21 with my oil and serum and apply it to my hair before rolling.

Once my hair is dry, I don't apply anything to it. The only time I put anything on my scalp is when I'm doing a hot oil treatment.

I do exactly this. Wet hair, add lacio lacio, use my oil, roll hair. Once done I spray Surge all over.

The oil wasn't working for my hair. I use Mango butter & NTM Silk then rollerset using magnetic rollers and duck bill clamps.

I never oil on my scalp. I use oil only when sealing my leave-in conditioner.

I don't oil my scalp either. It's been years. Once I learned that it clogged the pores. I apply moisturizer to my ends only.

I apply my oil to the wet hair right before I roll it. This seaks the moisture in. My hair is never hard, it's always bouncy and soft.

Hot oil treatments every two weeks is good enough for my scalp .

Lauren,your hair and your children are beautiful ...ok back to the topic,I normally put oil (a mixture of Emu, EVOO,Jojoba & Coconut) on my scalp overnight as a pre-poo before going to the salon 4 a rollerset,for some reason my fine 3b/c can't take the oil and the heat mixture,its dries it out to breakage ...Riddle me this: Do u apply the oil after your leave in to seal? And do u apply it to the ends or the entire length of your hair?

what she said.

 

[STLCoverGirl]

I put the oil in after my hair is dry and before flat ironing.

I just mix my oil with whatever conditioner i use and i let it sit for about 10 minutes then i wash it out. works wonders for me.

Yep it sure is. I actually bought this after looking in your fotki. I was pleasantly surprised that it did not weigh my hair down. Its a keeper.

Same here.

When I wash my hair, I rollerset first and then place oil in between the rollers and let the oil soak in overnight. Then I go under the dryer.
