I've been neglecting this thread!

Lately, I've been moisturizing with a water and conditioner mix, then sealing with SSI Honey and Castor under my wig. I should break out my Xcel. I'm missing out on growth.
 
Oil rinse/finger detangle with safflower oil. The good: it did not raise my cuticle layer (rough strands), no greasiness so far, detangled OK, did not completely wash off under running water. No bad yet as my hair is still drying, but 1-2 more times should tell me what I need to know. It will probably fall into the meh category with grapeseed and rice bran oils - too light or nothing special.
 
Yeah, safflower is in the meh pile, not softening, nor sealing, 'cause I feel the fro wanting to appear. I will try it again with a castor mix or mix it with straight castor oil.

I need waterproof labels for my bottles. Will using clear contact paper over a regular label work?
 
Oiled my scalp with APB Ginger Root Growth Oil and moisturised my hair with APB Moisturising Lotion (love this stuff). Should have oiled my ends with Dax but I forgot and pinned them up already.

Part of my assessment was too hasty. So far, my hair has not frizzed out, therefore, safflower is a light sealing oil. I will try it again tomorrow.
 
I'm going to try to pick up MCT oil today.

Last week, use a homemade beeswax mix and really liked it.

Added some Naturelle Grow Emu Balm to my ends on Wednesday.
 
Added some jbco to my deep conditioner today. Been slipping on moisturizing my hair since I was wearing a silk press and didn't want my hair to revert.

Gonna use my Mielle Organics hair milk diluted with water and do two French braids
 
OK, the safflower oil is growing on me. After I had pulled my hair in place, I noticed that the shrinkage was the same as with castor and hempseed, coils cool to the touch, and very soft. Dangit, I did not want to like this oil!
:fistshake::giveup::grinwink:

Edited to say I am using this stuff:

I haven't been here in a while,

I moisturized with Blueberry Bliss twist and shout cream and sealed with my oil blend. I will prob put some WGO on my scalp nightly and remoisturize when needed.
 
Let's see what is next on the oil rinsing list:

Neem (shush y'all, I know)
Broccoli seed oil
Flaxseed oil
Shea nut oil

I need to buy the last two. Trust me; my full list is loooong and I am still adding to it.
