I get most of them from eBay. Some you can get from the grocery store: coconut, safflower, sunflower sesame, avocado, extra virgin olive, grapeseed, walnut, and hempseed (health food store).

Thanks I think I'll get the hempseed from gnc or vitacost.

When I was testing oils, I would buy them from wholesalesuppliesplus.com They have all the ones you are looking for. You can buy them in 2 ounce samples for $2 to $4 each.

I found some I really liked testing them from that company but would rather just stick with oils I can find at the grocery store. I'm trying to use up the million I have and only have a few I use in this oil mix. LOL

I'll bookmark that site. Thanks

I ended up getting the rest of the oils from ebay. Broccoli, sunflower, babassu, pumpkin, and rice bran. I think that will be a nice mix with castor for my next batch.
 
I just used a teaspoon of my batch to make an ayurvedic DIY flaxseed gel. :clap:

I followed Naptural85's method in the video below.

I think I cooked the flaxseeds too long: The gel was too thick. So I added 4 tablespoons of aloe vera juice. That thinned it a little, but not nearly as much as I thought. I barely got 2 ounces of gel out of it!

I added a teaspoon of my CurlyProverbz oil, and I'm now trialing it on my bangs, which are about a 3c. It's not taking long to dry, it's shiny, and it smells great due to the oil.

Next I need to try this on my Type 4 areas of hair. I think I really, really like this.

 
My version of the Curly Proverbz oil mix is in a bain marie, to melt the babassu oil (AC is cranked up). I am only making a small amount to trial.

I'm currently using my first batch. I used a portion of the oil to make a hair butter, using shea butter and glycerin. So far my hair seems to like both concoctions. My hair is super soft, my curls are defined, and the cottony portion of my hair is easier to detangle. I'm quite pleased with the outcome.

On another note, I wish I would have used more heat when I made the oil. The fenugreek seeds barely opened on the first batch.
 
Poured out the last of my infusion into an applicator bottle to finish it off, so started a new infusion. Am I the only one who gets excited when it's time to start a new infusion?!!!!! LOL

This one includes:
Oil blend of: Safflower, Rice Bran, Grapeseed, Monoi Tahitian coconut, pumpkin seed, JBCO, apricot & avocado.


Infused with:
Fenugreek seeds
Rosehips
Henna
Brahmi
Aloe Vera powder
Bamboo extract
 
Started my new batch with the oils I got.

Rice Bran Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Babassu Oil
Broccoli Seed Oil
Sunflower Seed Oil
Haitian Black Castor Oil
Napur henna 9 herb
and fenugreek seeds.

I will add the msm and essential oils on the last day once it's off the heater.

How much are you trimming? I've started back dusting here and there when I feel it's needed. It's not much...really looks like dust...but my ends feel amazing now. LOL

At least you won't really lose length if you are trimming what you are growing.
 
April 26 compared to today August 30th, so after 4 months of usage.

A few disclaimers:
I only used MSM in the oil for a month or two. It made my scalp too itchy. However, I have used the henna and fenugreek consistantly.

I realize that the 2nd pic is blurry. The bright sun won't let me be great! I'm also 9 1/2 months pregnant and could not fit the shirt that I wore in the first pic for a fair comparison. LOL But my goal was to get my braidout to my waist and I did that. My next goal is to get my braidout to my hips and to get back to my prepregnacy weight so I guess the 2nd pic will be my starting pic for that new journey.

I use the oil once a week followed by a scalp massage. I also put it in my deep conditioner every 2 weeks.

Next batch I am going to grind the fenugreek seeds before mixing. I read that fenugreek seeds help with prevent the hair from graying. That ALONE is more beneficial than accelerated hair growth to me lol

My oil smells delicious! LOL
One of the oils I use in my batch is Monoi Tahitian coconut oil and it's the only thing I smell. I usually rotate between the Vanilla & Ylang Ylang scented ones. I dump the entire 4 ounce bottle in my mixture (including the flower) LOL

You could use essential oils to cover any odd smells. I just could never get the ratio right or come up with a good combo that I didn't find offensive (smell wise) after some time. So I just leave them out.
