Don't sleep on oil-rinses!

[Ajna]

I'm going to check out that pre-poo thread.

Ms. Chicoro is the truth her prepoo mix is the bomb!
This thread has me rethinking my regimen lol

 

[Aggie]

I just bought for pre-pooing and oil rinsing:

Aloe Vera Gel

Argan Oil for sealing my hair

Avocado Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil

Castor Oil

Palm Oil

Rice Bran Oil

Sunflower Oil

Sweet Almond Oil

Vitamin E Oil for my skin

 

[IDareT'sHair]

One good thing I've noticed other than the overall softness and increased manageability is the fact that it greatly helps to loosen SSKs & Tangles.

Softens them right up and also helps to remove sheds once the Water and Oil come together.

They just slide right out.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Oil Rinsing. May try "Mustard Seed Oil" tomorrow.

Not sure if I'll steam with it or use directly before Cowashing?

But I am looking to do a variety of techniques this Winter.

@AgeinATL

I read in another thread you are re-incorporating Oil Rinsing back into your Regimen?

What method do you use?

Yes ma'm! I prefer doing them when the weather gets cooler. I shampoo/cowash, apply the oil, let it sit for a couple of minutes, rinse, t-shirt dry and apply my DC.

How do you do yours?

@AgeinATL

So far, I've been steaming mine in.

This is how I did mine when I was relaxed minus the t-shirt, towel instead. I am going to start back. Gotta get me some oils.

@IDareT'sHair are you steaming the oil in on dry hair?

I always have great results when doing it this way. Not sure why I stopped! What are some of your favorite oils to use? I adore EVOO but wondering if there are better ones to use.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beany

Freshly cowash.

A former member use to steam hers in on dry hair and then proceed with Washing. DC'ing etc.....

I have yet to try it that way.

Today I applied Rice Bran Oil to dry hair w/o Steaming and then Cleansed.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@AgeinATL

Right now Imma start off using -
Rice Bran
Extra Virgin Olive
Extra Virgin Coconut
Babbasu
Sweet Almond
Avocado
*maybe ED JBCO (for research purposes)

And will add in some others (Blends)

You know, great minds think alike because I was seriously thinking about asking you this. I think I have only tried the Dabur Alma and maybe EVOO.

@Aggie

I found the rest of my Black Seed Oil, so I'll be using that too.

I'm glad you mentioned Black Seed Oil, because it reminded me that I have some.

Girl @IDareT'sHair, you mentioned the word pungent in regards to it's smell and immediately I thought . I don't know if I can handle that right now so decided against it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie

Most Definitely Pungent.

If you were to use it, you would want to wash it out the next day.

You couldn't wear it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Slathered Hair in Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Will Steam with Black Seed Oil on freshly cowashed hair
Will use Rice Bran on top of My DC'er and on top of my Leave In

 

[Aggie]

Used a combination of jbco, evco and evoo to do pre-poo under the dryer earlier, washed with Elucence Clarifying Shapoo followed with Macadamia Natual Oil Weightless Moisture Shampoo. Now I'm sitting under my dryer with Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment.

I'll be following this up with Macadamia Natural Oil Nourishing Moisture Masque to soften it up. I'll moisturize and seal, plait in some celies, slap on my wig and out the house I go. Next week, I need to color my hair I can't decide if I'll use a demi permanent or henna my hair as yet

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie

I think we are going to see amazing results by doing these. I went back through this thread to gain some historical knowledge.

 

[Aggie]

@IDareT'sHair, I agree and I need to do the same. It certainly is good motivation to continue. I realize though I can do this now but my busy season is coming and may neglect my lovelies for about a week and a half.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie

I know you'll make up for it when you have time and give them plenty TLC.

Yeah, we'll have to keep up with our results.

Oil rinsing is so easy to incorporate and so beneficial to my hair! Tag me, I'm down.

Benefits I've seen in the past from oil rinsing:
Ease of detangling
Less split ends
Increased hydration
Improved hair health

Wheat germ is my favorite!

 

[Froreal3]

I'm going to be trying this in my weekly wash. It couldn't hurt and I could begin to use up my collection of oils faster. I will shampoo, apply oil, let it sit, rinse, then DC or protein treat.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm going to try to use up my really 'smelly' oils for oil pre-poo rinsing.

In addition to Black Seed Oil, I forgot I have Neem.

Also, I have Red Palm, Mustard Seed and some Garlic/EVOO that I'll be pulling out to use.

 

[meka72]

I tried oil rinsing before but it was a fail (operator error, probably). Today, I tried oil rinsing after shampoo but before my protein rx. I used wheat germ oil. I'm currently under the dryer with my moisture deep conditioner.

I'm pretty sure I used too much oil though.

 

[traceedeebee]

I tried oil rinsing after a light protein treatment. This is a keeper for me. I used Chicoro's prepoo, too. I had 4 weeks of shed hair to get out of my head. I removed most of it in the shower. I have never been successful with finger detangling but it worked today. The hair was sliding out. There was no need to put a pile of conditioner in my head either. I put the conditioner on the oil then rinsed just in case I got heavy handed with the oil.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@traceedeebee

Great Review!

@meka72
Keep trying. There are so many 'different' ways to do it to make it work for you.

 

[divachyk]

@meka72, layering a RO conditioner on top of your oil soaked hair will absorb excess oil. The key to oil rinsing (for me) is to rinse with warm to slightly hot water to rinse the oil out the hair. Rinsing with cooler water makes the oil waxy.

How I incorporate oil rinisng:
cleanse
oil rinse with layering on a RO conditioner
deep condition
apply leave-ins

 

[divachyk]

I oil rinsed with argan tonight topped with Sally's GVP Matrix Biolage. Results were good. (nothing compares to wheat germ)

 

[meka72]

Thanks ladies! I'll try to stick with it. I have a ton of oils that I need to use.
