Don't sleep on oil-rinses!
Typically I ignore threads about detangling methods and products. I have for the last year or so. I thought my hair's health or my big chop had something to do with how easily it detangles. That is absolutely NOT the case. The oil-rinse method is why it detangles so easily. My hair completely detangles under just running water!  Keep in mind I've recently adopted a low manipulation regimen. So the last time I detangled was at least a week (or more) ago.
If you're having problems with tangles try this... - Rinse (or shampoo) your hair
- Coat in your favorite oil (I've used olive, jojoba, castor, meadowfoam, dabur alma, and aphogee EFA oil, red palm oil/butter--- my favorite is an amla, castor mix)
- Rinse with warm/hot water
- Apply conditioner
- Rinse with cool/cold water
- Apply leave-in
- Seal
I'm not alone other people think it a miracle too... http://www.longhaircareforum.com/for...89#post2679989
The part that makes it an oil rinse is using conditioner to help rinse some of the oil from your hair. Everything else is just a pre-poo, hot oil treatment, or an oil wash.
Don't sleep on oil rinses! It may be your hair miracle.

Re: Don't sleep on oil-rinses!
I did something similar earlier this week with by applying vatika oil to dry hair, rinsing, and then conditioning, and my hair has never felt better.
One question: why apply the oil to wet hair as opposed to dry?

Awesome!
I have two reasons which are kinda specific to how I style my hair.... before oiling I divide my hair down the middle and gently pulling it apart. I need the water to help me get that far. I also noticed I seem to need less oil when my hair is already wet.

Re: Don't sleep on oil-rinses!
This may be a silly question.
Do you rinse the shampoo before applying the oil or do you put the oil on top of the shampoo and then rinse?
I have a sew in right now, but definitely want to give this a try.

Re: Don't sleep on oil-rinses!
Sounds nice, just wondering if I'd get the same results by using oil as my pre-poo and then co-washing instead of using shampoo. Does anyone know the advantage to using the oil on wet hair instead of dry? How long are you guys leaving the oil on for?
