Vatika Oil QUestion

[AlliCat]

I've been oiling my hair with Vatika Oil since my last wash day. I really like it...is it okay to relax hair that's been previously coated/sealed with Vatika Oil? Any texlaxed/relaxed ladies love vatika oil and incorporate it in their reggie?

(for those who don't know Vatika oil = coconut oil + henna + amla + lemon)

I know JJamiah uses it and LOVES it! Maybe she can chime in later on.

AlliCat, why would it not be okay to use? Or better yet, what prompted this question? I'm just a bit concerned since I'm due for a TU today. I've only used vatika a few times but ut-oh is kinda what I'm thinking right now.

I've been using Vatika Oil every couple of days since 2007 and I've only been transitioning 6 months now... I never saw any negative effects of relaxing after applying the oil... It should be fine.

@divachyk the ingredients. I wonder if the lemon could cause an adverse reaction? and I was reading the safety warnings of my relaxer kit and it said I should not relax hair that's been treated with Henna(among other things)...but I know some relaxed people use henna regularly with no problems so I'm confused

I luv VO. But are you putting it on the scalp or on the hair?

MsLi@512 hair only (avoiding the scalp and new growth)

I use Vatika oil to seal my hair eveynight. I also have used it on previously relaxed hair for protection when I give myself a relaxer. I haven't had any adverse effects. I think you will be fine. HTH

AlliCat...I used vatika frosting, not oil. My bad. TU application went on good. Tingled some, burned a little but didn't burn excessively...but reg strength was used this time instead of sensitive scalp.

Sorry for the late response, I have been so busy. I went to text you back yesterday and my phone shut off

I use Vatika Oil and I do love it. I Henna and relax. The only thing I can say is if your going for Texlax the Henna will alter the relaxer from taking fully which I didn't care. I didn't space out my Henna & relaxer far. within the same week. So they do advise you wait 2 weeks before relaxing after you Henna. Some people do it further apart.

Mine was still relaxed but more so of a texlax.

Just following up. I did my relaxer (Vatika oil and all) and everything turned out perfectly fine. Thanks for your help ladies!

I do and have never had a problem with anything. I dont do it any closer than a week before and/or after.
