Does anyone do oil rinses? and does the oil seal the moisture out of your hair. Ive thought about doing this 1x a week before my dc. And is an oil rinse just a quick way to do a hot?

Well...I don't know if it counts but...I always oil my hair with coconut oil before I wash...then rinse it with water for a few minutes...then do a cowash. And sometimes if I'm in a rush, or lazy, I skip the cowash and style my hair as usual.

It's like a prepoo/dc/oil rinse all in one.
 
I haven't been here in a while because..well..i am just failing the challenge miserably so i'd rather sit in my corner.
Anita Grant products are outstanding. I am so grateful she did the free shipping over the summer because it allowed me to stock up on my favorites products especially the vanilla oils, sapote and castor oil and the pomades.

I also thought that I will never order from the UK but her line and Akua Wood are my splurge treats and they do a fabulous job :)
I am waiting on 2 packages from there..lol

@lacolocha: i used to do oil rinses with qhemet castor moringa oil but i stopped because i'd rather do pre-poos or hot oil treatments. It helped me a lot with tangles

I don't do oil rinses in the proper way. I believe that is oil your hair then rinse it fully out. I do a HOT then layer with my DC then I wash that out. It does not interfere with my moisture. My moisture is always on point unless I try a jacked up product :lachen:. You can do a search on oil rinses. I believe Sareca started a thread. She knows her stuff.
 
i did an oil rinse once or twice. dont remember what oil i used but i just got into evoo and jbco so it had to be coconut oil. i remeber it made detangling a breeze, but that was when i was relaxed so detangling wasnt an issue anyway. i stopped because it made the tub so slipery and pre poo is better in my opinion.
 
Thanks ladies, i might try it and see if it benefits me. I have one more question, i looked in some threads and some say they use really hot water to do the rinse. Does that damage your ends or does the oil protect them?

No worries, like ive said before your always welcomed here. We are all pj's. And sometimes you just can't help getting a product that is calling your name.:yep:
 
well yall got me thinking about anita grant. did i tell yall my hairveda products are waiting for me at the PO? well they are so what im gonna do when i get that box is mix some vatika frosting with some coffee butter and some jojoba oil and a little shea butter. i may leave the shea butter out actually.

i would assume really hot water isnt good for the hair. it should be warm or cool. someone once said(thats my poetic voice, get wit it) if its too hot for your skin then its too hot for the hair.

Thanks che that is what i thought. Ill try it once with warm water and see if it does anything. Since im using butters it might just be the same. But you have more control with the butters. Oils run.
 
I like having my hair in twists, I love my plaits but this might be my new protective style. Im going to see how it goes with my dc tommorrow, see how they hold up. I still can't keep my hands out of my hair which i guess defeats the purpose of protective styling but:look: oh well. I like to pull them down, squeeze them and wrap them around my fingers.:look:
 
gracias La Colocha :) I really appreciate it!
I've also been using up so many products: mostly kbb hair milks/ conditioners.
I think i might have to stop buying the luscious hair mask because my hair has grown so much and now that jar lasts me 3 applications....
i'm done hauling for a while now...oh..i forgot chagrin valley is releasing ayurvedic soap and i am sure it is going to sold out in hours

I also do the same thing as you la colocha..have twists but keep playing with them..
lately i've invested in a steamer and once i finish twisting, i seal with an oil, sit under the steamer for 10-15 minutes and my twists are just so soft/bouncy....i keep touching them all day long..lol

La, about my BoNY order, they finally answered my email and cancelled my order and gave me a refund. They said one of my products was discontinued but I wonder. It doesn't say that on the site. So, I don't know. I'll have to see if the BSS has the Bodifier mist in stock this week.

Anyway, I have really got to use some stuff up this week. I have a few things that I think I can use up in one sitting so I'll have to line them up. I actually tossed out a few things.
HSH Soy TriWheat leave in
Some Redken leave in I had
Elasta QP Mango Butter
La Bomba conditioner
Biolage leave in
Also about 5 conditioners that were old and almost finished. Cleared up a lot of space.
I'm going to make another box of stuff to give away soon.

Girl, tell me how yall be using up all these products in one setting!
 
i got my hairveda today and one of my vatikas dont smell like frosting.
for the month of november i wont buy anything because in december i plan on buying some anita grant for my birthday.
 
Oh, as for using stuff in one sitting, I have a few things that have one use left in them, sometimes less. I might mix conditioners and oils for a prepoo or nice deep conditioner. Depends on what it is.


Where is everyone???
 
the vatika smells like she ran out of the scent or something. its very very very faint but thats only one of the jars so i wont b@tch about it lol.
i think im gonna take out my braids tonight. when i came to work i got another compliment on them. she said "i really love your hair". i just felt so good about that. but then a guy came along and said something about seeing too much scalp which made me paranoid that maybe my hair is too thin or something. now im thinking about taking them out a deep treating with sitrinilla. but he just came along and just messed up the compliment she gave me.
 
thanx Shay. i know but this morning i looked in the moirror from the side ant thought that my hair looked thin. i mean my hair isnt that thick and its still only el when stretched in braids so it didnt bother me. i know it'll thicken up later but then when he said it it made me think. a little too much.

Don't worry about it hun, when your hair grows longer it will fill in. Mine did the same thing. Its still a little see through but its ok.
 
:lachen::lachen:La and T yall are so freaking funny.

i did get the shikakai oil though:look:

but its all good(remember that saying) because i will use up 3 things buy the end of this week.
 
Im going to dc tonight with my curls dc ( nothing added) and moisturize with tw mist and seal with jojoba butter. Ive been doing good at writing in my journal every night. I may have to retwist my hair tonight, ill see after my dc. You ladies keep up the good work and use that stuff up. I know black friday is coming up:look:. I will more than likely not be here to not be tempted.
