Hi Ladies,

Im not officially in this challenge but I need your advice. When you apply oil as a HOT or an oil rinse, do you also do a tea rinse and DC on the same day??

If so, what order do you follow before applying heat? If not, what else do you do after applying oil? What kind of oil are you using? How long do you leave it on your hair?

I want to do a HOT with my brahmi oil. It has a coconut base and comes in a jar so Im thinking of putting it into a color app bottle for easier application.

 

[tiffers]

mshoneyfly I do HOTs, use tea and deep condition in the same day. I do the HOT first, on dry hair. After that, I wet my hair with tea and apply a deep conditioner.

 

[divachyk]

mshoneyfly, I tend to do more oil rinses than HOTs.

-Co-cleanse hair (rinse with warm water)
-Soak hair with tea (do not squeeze or rinse excess from hair)
-Apply oil, typically wheat germ (again, do not squeeze or rinse excess from hair)
-Apply smoothing conditioner, typically Sally's GVP Matrix Biolage
-Put on shower cap and let products sit about 1 to 2 mins after applying Matrix (rinse with warm water)
-Squeeze out excess water
-Apply DC and steam for 15-20 mins (rinse with cool water)
-Style hair

Matter of fact mshoneyfly did a tea oil rinse last night. I used a cocoa butter based condish cleanser. Rinsed that off. Followed with a very warm tea that I added grape seed and sunflower oils to. Then put a regular 2min condish on top while I showered.

This was my midweek reggi but on full wash days that tea oil goes under an AO DC for an hour with a heat cap for 15min.

...guess that was also my update for the day. Lol

This does sound yummy. How much of each oil do you put into your tea?

About a half tablespoon each. I pour it directly over my troubled 4c crown first since the oil just sits on top of the tea and pours out first. Thats my driest coilest area. Then spread the love to the rest of the strands and massage it to the scalp.

How much oil do you use? Do you have it in an applicator bottle?

divachyk
How much oil do you use? Do you have it in an applicator bottle?

No applicator bottle and I don't measure.

I pour about a 1/2 palm's worth, apply, pour another 1/2 palm's worth, and apply. I found I was spilling oil when I filled my entire palm with oil one time vs. halfening the oil and applying it to my hair twice.

Halfening the oil keeps it in my palm better and it gives better control of the application.

If I had to measure, I'd say it would be about 1-2 tbsps oil in each 1/2 palm's worth. Some ladies in the oil rinsing thread use less oil but I found that not to be enough for me. When I first started oil rinsing, I was using too little or too much oil. Now I just know the right amount.

The type of oil you use matters. I've tried hemp, evoo, coconut, jojoba and maybe a few others. My hair felt weird and coated. Wheat germ is where it's at (for me).

Applying the conditioner on top of the oil gives a little moisture boast plus soaks up any excess oil to ensure I don't have oily hair in the end.
