Yeah, I've been hangin' out & posting in the: "Don't Sleep On Oil Rinsing" Thread and read a couple of your posts.

Also @Brownie518 's. And @curlyhersheygirl posted upthread about her oil rinsing experience.

Imma do it throughout this winter. And reassess in the Spring.

So far, so good.

I love oil rinsing!! It really takes things to the next level.

@divachyk

Agreed. I'm seeing this already.

@IDareT'sHair Off to find their posts. I love reading how others do oil rinses. It took trial and error to figure out which worked best but wheat germ is my boo thang.

@divachyk and @IDareT'sHair how do you do oil rinses?

Sitting here with HQS Coconut Lime oil as a prepoo.

My SSI updated to shipped, so hopefully see it this week.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

I've been oil rinsing for a long time. I just never remember to post in that oil rinsing thread lol.
My son and I apply the oil first then some RO conditioner on top. We let that sit for a few minutes then rinse out.
My daughter has very dense hair so she applies the oil after she rinses the conditioner out of her hair. She lets the oil sit for a few minutes then rinses it out.

I'm with you @divachyk

I love wheat germ oil for oil rinsing. It's the best oil to use for my hair. It leaves it so soft but it stands to me. But I still use it.

I apply oil then a RO conditioner - it helps absorb any excess oil that I've overly applied.

@curlyhersheygirl @IDareT'sHair @Brownie518 @Beamodel
Are you detangling while rinsing out the oil?

Yes. Detangling

@Froreal3

I do them a variety of different ways from slathering it on 1st then cleansing.

I've been steaming it in on freshly cowashed hair (haven't dried it yet on dry un-washed hair, I know Shay72 use to do it that way as well).

I plan to try it under the Heat Cap and some of the additional ways @curlyhersheygirl (and the Kurl-Kidz) as well as @divachyk and @Beamodel does too.

There are so many possibilities. But I can say, that I am seeing a reduction in SSK's (so far)

@divachyk @Beamodel

I was trying to decide between Flaxseed and Wheat Germ.

I love them both equally as an Oil, so I may pick them both up.

Got my Shipping Notice from Purabody Naturals (for x3 Mango Tea Scalp Butters)

Never tried flaxseed but wheat germ is amaze balls. I highly doubt I want to use another oil for oil rinsing besides that one.

@IDareT'sHair, I used argan today. Argan is a little pricey to be oil rinsing with but I'm not using it otherwise so figured I'd give it a go. My hair felt good but not nearly as divine as wheat germ makes it feel. Operation use up oil begins now.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk @Beamodel
Will definitely look at Wheatgerm.

I Flaxseed because of the EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids). Rich in Omega's 3,6,9.

I can't wait to see what kind of results us regular oil rinsers will have by Spring.

 

[bajandoc86]

Why I am looking at more wigs? Fix it Jesus.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

[IDareT'sHair]

Decided to pull out & try to use up several of those stanky oils I have in my Stash:
Neem
Red Palm
Garlic EVOO
Cayenne & EVOO
Mustard Seed
Black Seed


I'll try to use them up before I purchase:
Wheat Germ
Flax Seed

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Expecting several packages tomorrow. Hope I'm not disappointed.

 

[Golden75]

I want to pick up some wheat germ oil, but I really want to use what I already have. But I probably will end up picking up the wheat germ, cause I know me .

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Pulled Out: Bel Nouvo's Quench Moisture Butter (in Red Velvet Cake) to use.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

My LRC order arrived yesterday. I forgot USPS delivers on Sundays during the holidays.

That's Great! Don't forget to give a Review.

Keeping them on my Radar.

Good News: The wig I ordered was delivered this morning.

Bad News: The wig doesn't fit my head, and I say this as someone who doesn't even have a big head to begin with. I'm dissapointed since this is the second time buying a wig and it not working for some reason. Oh well, back to twists I go for now.

I keep getting these terrible migraines which is preventing me from washing my hair which really needs a good protein treatment and DC.

 

[Ltown]

When I do oil rinses I have to use a lot of shampoo to get it out so I guess they don't work for me.

 

[divachyk]

@flyygirlll2 what's wrong with the wig -- too big or too small? At any rate, wigs that fit tight at first will loosen after a few wears, in my experience. Do you have a wig head to place the wig on to help stretch it out? Perhaps, you can put a beanie on the wig head and put the wig on top of the beanie if you need it stretch a lot. If it's too big, are there adjustable straps you can use?

@Ltown, do you rinse your hair with warm/hot or cool/cold water? My hair gets waxy and the oil is not removed from my hair if I use anthing other than hot water. I also place a RO conditioner on top of my oil soaked hair to help absorb some of the oil.

 

[divachyk]

Bekura & Bel Nouvo shipped today!

 

[flyygirlll2]

@divachyk It's too small and tight. I don't have a wig head. It does have adjustable straps but it's still tight despite that so idk. Meh, I'll figure something out but if not I'll just continue wearing twists and KIM.

@divachyk i use warm water can't tolerate hot.

Received three packages over the weekend from Bobeam, KJ Naturals, and My Honey Child. Still waiting for Amauri Naturals, LRC, Toni Daley, and Brush Love.

Oh and if anyone was wondering (or can confirm), supposedly the new Felicia Leatherwood Detangling Brush is seamless according to her IG response to me. I asked a semi-local beauty store if it was seamless and Felicia's IG responded yes.
If anyone has the new one can you confirm that's true?

 

[Golden75]

Got my Monique's package.

@rileypak I may just order the FL brush cuz the one I got from Monique's would rip my hair to shreds! So to the kitty it goes. Hopefully someone confirm if seamless.
