Re: What\'s the best oil to use...?
I just used castor again after having used olive and grapeseed for awhile. Let me just tell you I am going back to castor oil, although I may jazz it up with a little honey and maybe add some coconut oil.
I think any fairly heavy oil (olive, castor) will do the trick.

Re: What\'s the best oil to use...?
Hey Leshia
I've used jojoba, castor, & extra virgin olive oil (latest oil used), but nothing, absolutely nothing made my hair feel soooo wonderful like the VO5 moisturizing oil did. The other oils were good, don't get me wrong.... but goodness gracious...VO5 ACTUALLY PENETRATED... after using VO5, there's no doubt in my mind that it's the best hot oil (for treatments) for my hair.
My only problem is the cost....because I'm "hair cheap", my wallet & this oil will not get along
....it's $5.69 for a 2oz bottle. Per the label, it's enough for 4 treatments, however, I had to use the entire bottle to adequately cover all of my length
. So needless to say, I'm looking for alternatives... I'm gonna try my beloved Hot 6 oil, Wonder 8 oil, & Perfect Results hot oil (I've never used their products, but someone recommended I try this oil).... I'll let u know how each worked for me.
But nonetheless, VO5 is an EXCELLENT oil
.
God Bless,

I love VO5 too. I'm about to use it in a few minutes, simply because I don't have time today to sit with the heat cap for 30min.

Re: What\'s the best oil to use...?
There is a post of good pre-oil treatments on the hair recipes board. Check them out. Carmenrose posted them and there's alot and they all sound fantastic.
Can someone tell me what exactly it is that honey does for the hair? I would like to try this to add to my pre oil treatment but I'd like to understand what it does. Its not an oil is it? I'm sounding thick here I know but please explain what are its properties to make it good and why.
Thanks anyone.

Re: What\'s the best oil to use...?
BRH the honey is said to add shine and help retain moisture. Its the honey that we consume. i melt mine w/ my oil. I use a cheap honey esp. for pre-oil treatments b/c the consistency is usually flimsier and blends better with the oil. Usually people add 1 or 2 tbsp HTH

Re: What\'s the best oil to use...?
Thanks beana I'm going to get some today.
I'm doing house chores with EVOO and pure coconut oil in my hair pinned up and I would've flung in honey too if I had it at home and knew what it does.
I'll definitely try it next time round.
Hope your keeping well.

Re: What\'s the best oil to use...?
great article, jenjen! i've been using honey for a while. it's nice to have the info to explain why intelligently when my friends ask why...
these are the ingredients that i use for my pre-shampoo treatments:
• extra virgin olive oil
• honey
• peppermint oil
• rosemary oil
it's very stimulating and relieves the psoriasis, at least for a little while...

I use jojoba oil mixed with honey. I heat them up in the microwave, then i pour the oil in my hair, and let it soak in my hair for two hours.
