I have been using castor and coconut lately, but I also like jojoba and olive.

if i've just washed i use almond or coconut cause they're nice and light but if its after adding a moisturiser on dry hair then EVOO as it's heavier...

I tried sealing with oil and my hair was a hot mess!!!. I found a thread where some ladies seal with petroleum jelly. I tried it and it is wonderful.

I seal with any kind of grease. I love it.

I have been sealing after I have shampooed and conditioned my hair. I don't know if that's the right thing to do. I hear some of you are applying oil to dry hair, before it is wet or shampooed. I bought castor oil and the directions read to apply the castor oil and shampoo at the same time and wash it out. How do I know when to apply the oil to dry hair verses applying the oil to post-shampooed hair. Should I ever apply the oil to hair after it has been conditioned?

I seal with Wonder 8 oil

i seal with jamaican castor oil and it has been working really well. the thing is that you should only use a little bit because its thick but it does keep in the moisture for me.

i have tried other oils like coconut and vitamin e and they didnt do much for me.

You can do whatever you like with the oil, to be honest with you. You just have to find out what your hair likes. Some people don't have good results putting oil on dry hair; others hate putting oil on wet hair. The point of "sealing" with an oil is to use it after a moisturizer, thereby "sealing" in the moisture with the oil. I moisturize my hair when wet (using leave-ins after washing) and dry (with my daily moisturizer), so I use oil on both wet & dry hair. You can also do hot oil treatments, where you add oil to dry or damp hair, let sit, and shampoo out.

I just started my good hair habits and my first attempt at sealing has worked perfectly. I used EVOO after applying ORS olive oil cream. I appiled everything (my leave-in, olive oil cream, and EVOO) on my wet hair before setting it. My hair has been soft and moisterized all week. (I do add more cream daily to the ends.) I think I'll keep up with this!!
