The Oils you own and how you use it!

[remnant]

I use :

To seal my ends and oil my scalp: Olive + sunflowers + coconut + Castor + any other oil in my kitchen

To coat my nails and cuticule: olive oil

Thanks Eisani, what kind of base oil do you use?

 

[Barbara]

Daaaayuuum Girl.....Can we say OIl J?

I have some but not a lot. I use them in my conditioners and shampoos.

 

[healthytext]

I use 5 or 6 drops of rose hip seed oil to saturate dry, straight hair before detangling. It instantly makes my hair supple and the comb slips right through.

 

[Eisani]

Thanks Eisani, what kind of base oil do you use?

For my infusions, usually coconut, jojoba, coco/jojoba mixed, or olive and grapeseed. Sometimes sesame. I prefer coconut and jojoba because of their rate of absorption.

 

[hairdrama:{]

I only have coconut oil. I use it for prepoos, oil rinses and DC. I used to have essencial oils but I ran out of it (I used it for prepoo as well), I use serums to seal....

 

[Eisani]

Wait, was I supposed to list my EO's too?

 

[HoneyDew]

I have:

-refined coconut oil and virgin coconut oil – I like using these in lieu of moisturizer. When I don’t really need to moisturize, but want something on my hair, I will use one of these. Not into the coconut smell of the virgin one, but like it in the summer time.

-almond oil – I use this in my Henna mixes. I put 2 -3 tablespoons in my paste.

-sunflower oil - when I run out of almond oil I will use this one in my henna mixes because I got a big HUGE jug (32 oz!) of this from Freecycle.

-Global Beauty Coconut Amla oil – I have been using a few drop of this after moisturizing and before tying my hair down at night.

-Nasabbs Kelechi oil – this is what I was using before I got the global goddess. Now I just alternate them for light sealing. This is a great oil, though. But I gotta use up all that global goddess.

-Qhemet Indian Macassar Conditioning Oil – This is nice, but expensive. I like using this one for styling. Something about it is very very nice. A few drops on my styled hair is great. It is different than other oils. Thicker or something. More like a serum.

-Qhemet Castor & Moringa Softening Serum – I have not used this yet. It is labeled as a treatment/hot oil. Maybe I will use it this weekend.

I have some Coconut oil Not sure how people use it other than mixing.

I have Amla oil, I use it before I shampoo my son or my hair

I have Jojoba Oil and Emu Oil which I use to seal my moisture

I have Hot 6 oil which I use in my mixes and to lotion my sons hands

Castor oil, Sweet almond oil, Seasame oil, I use it in my mixes only

That'd be all I could think of

Yeah, My brain is working a little better: I have the following EO's: Rosemary, Peppermint and Lavender and I use these in my conditioners and mix with my oil blends.

I am not known for my memory!

 

[lisajames96]

Coconut oil: after washes or styling(with or without heat)
jojoba oil: nighttime leave in(just bought to try out instead of shea butter for a while)
grapseed oil: mix with my gel for styling
silicone oil: mix with my gel when styling, night time twists, homemade lip glosses

 

[RedVelvet310]

I only use two religiously:

Coconut Oil- I put this on the night (if I'm washing my hair the next morning) or the morning (if I'm washing my hair that night) before I wash my hair

Castor Oil: To seal my hair after I wash

Occasional Oil:

Amla: Add to my henna

Olive: Add to my henna

I haven't henna'd my hair is 2 months so I don't use these oils now.

Hi ladies,

What do you do with unrefined coconut oil?

I use this as a daily sealer. It gives great shine to the hair w/o weighing it down.

I'm curious, does anyone use it on thier skin?

Coconut oil--my boo!

I just bought castor oil and I'm really happy with the results. I think it's a keeper in my reggie as well.

My husband & I use it to moisturize our skin. I buy the Nature's Way Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Whole Foods.
