Hmmm... My method always involves shampooing. DS's head is itchy
right now so I'm gonna try it this once he's done some more home-
work.
Don't sleep on oil-rinses!

Ok, so while DS was trying to do his homework I accosted his hair with some
olive oil and let him hang out with that for about 1 hour.
In the sink, I rinsed his hair with very warm water then applied Tresemme
Moisture Rich with yet more olive oil.
Detangled his afro.
Rinsed everything out and dried his hair to damp with a tee shirt.
Applied S-Curl No Drip, a little olive oil and Braid Spray and he picked
it all out.
It's been 1.5 hours and his hair is feeling as great as it always feels
after oil rinsing.

I like doing my oil rinses as the last step. I just fear blocking out the moisture if i do it before a deep condition. I'll usually add oil to my dc or do it after a dc. I don't use a lot of oil so it's easy to rinse.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks OP for the thread!!!!
I'm so happy to read about the great results you are all having with Oil rinses.
I'm wondering how I can fit it into my reggie. I only use natural products on my hair apart my conditioner (detangler) which is Aussie Moist. I want to eventually stop using aussie moist.
Is it possible to use the oil rinsing method without conditioner?
Or, has anyone tried this method with homemade conditioner/ 100% natural conditioner?
Thanks in advance

I think I know how you feel about this. I felt this way too. The
weird thing is that the process works really well the way Sareca
outlined in the first post.
The best thing is, as Virtuenow said ^^ is that you can do it 50-11
different ways and it just works.

You got me thinking. I use the conditioner step to detangle so
I don't know if it can be done without a conditioner but using
a homemade 100% natural conditioner should work.
Conditioners add artificial oils (and other stuff depending on the
conditioner) that shampoo sucks out of the hair. If you don't use
shampoo, perhaps you won't need conditioner.
Maybe someone who knows more about the science of it all will
come in with a better answer.
ETA: Oil-rinsing, to me, is simply a hot oil treatment so I don't
see there being a problem. I've never tried detangling without
conditioner so if you try it, please report back. I'd love to know
how it works out for you.

Hi Sunhun I think the oil rinses would work without conditioner as well, I simply use the conditioner to get rid of it, lol, I use brands like Yes to Carrots, Giovanni, or SheaMoisture, they are natural with some preservatives. But you will notice after you let the oil sit on your hair in the shower that it is easy to move your hands through. I personally don't detangle in the shower cause I don't like to spend that much time in there. So I detangle as I apply my deep conditioner and my hair does not knot up on itself like it usually would.

I tried an oil rinse today and am OFFICIALLY on the oil rinse bandwagon!! I can't even describe how much more pleasant this detangling process was even though I'm almost 7 months post.
I'm gonna do this forever...i didn't even have to add anything to my hair afterwards. I shampoo'd, did an oil rinse with Herbal Essences conditioner then DC'd with cholesterol/shea butter and my hair felt sooooo good after I rinsed that out. I just sprayed a few splashes of leave-in, blow-dryed, and flat ironed. And my hair is soooo shiny and moisturized. I'm a believer! lol

U saiid u did an oil rinse w/ Herbal essence conditioner-- I guess thats a typo? I'm gonna do oil rinses (w/castor oil) forever too. Everytime I wet my hair! I need to stock up on oil now!

Yes, several of us do oil rinses w/out using conditioner afterwards. I do oil rinses alone sometimes (no shampoo or conditioner). Just wet the hair first then add oil. I also call it oil cleansing or oil washing (like Irresistible). I'm exploring a shift to all natural products-- I don't like commercial shampoos or conditioners very much. The leave my hair hard n dry. Let us know how it works for u if u try it.

Lita and virtuenow and others that will be so kind as to chime in...my take: um, FAIL. I warm rinsed, heavily coated with evoo, let sit for ~5mins, warm rinsed, applied Aubrey Organics White Camellia, let sit for ~5mins, cool rinsed -- results: overly oily hair! When I rub my hair, my hands are super oily. I will say, the hair has a nice sheen and minimal breakage *knocks on woods*. My porosity wasn't an issue when air drying and my ends are not bushy. As for the oily hair -- Where did I go wrong? Did I not rinse the oil out good enough before using the condish?

Hi, three things may hv went wrong here. 1) You should rinse w/hot water- hot as u can get. Warm is not hot enuff to slip the oil out. 2) You may have used too much oil- a litte bit goes a long way. 3) you probably didnt rinse enough oil out (that takes me bk too the hot water thing). You can actually feel the level of oil in ur hair as ur rinsing (once u get used)- just slide ur fiingers thru annd u can decide if it feels "clean" enuff.
For now, you can do another co wash or just seee if ur hair soaks some oil up. It gets better once get the hang of it!

I agree with virtuenow on the hot water. That's usually the culprit for me. You might also just need to sleep on it (no pun intended).
Sometimes my hair needs overnight to drink up the surplus oil.eTA: make sure you wear a bonnet to keep the oil off your pillow (and face).

divachyk For my last rinse...I use hot water & the steam from the water helps with the oil too....Other wise your on track....Keep us posted.
*When I first started doing this..I used small amounts of oil/until I realize what amount worked & didn't work for me...So next time just use a little & adjust accordingly..
Happy Hair Growing!

Lita: Yes, I used way too much oil. I will scale back next time.
sareca: I didn't use hot water because I was trying to preserve the hot water in the water heater but I'll use hot next time. I slept on it, still oily. I keep it bunned up anyway so no biggie. I will be shampooing Mon so having oily hair for a few days won't frustrate me too bad. Are you using any particular kind/type of shampoo to remove the oil buildup or must it be a clarifying and/or sulfate poo? Thx for the bonnet reminder; I always tie up at night as I suffer from acne too much to overlook this step.
virtuenow: When I applied the oil, my hair felt kind of grippy and was still feeling a little rough even after rinsing. It didn't soften up until I applied condish. Perhaps this all goes back to not using hot water. I'll try again after I get a TU to see if it goes well.
Do you ladies oil rinse on your short hair day...meaning, when you're doing a rinse out conditioner or do you sometimes DC after oil rinsing? I'm sure you've posted this already but....
Thx!

i tried this the other day when i washed out my press. i divided in 4 sections and oiled each one up with palmers moisturizing cocobutter body oil
i let it sit for a few minutes and them applied Main n tail deep moisturizing conditioner and let that sit for a few minutes. then i rinse it out. it was very easy to comb my hair but then again i just washed out a press. the real test is in the following weeks. i dont plan on using heat for a while so i really hope this works.
also did i oil rinse correctly?

I don't know how to use the mention button yet, but yes, I do oil rinse on short days. In fact, the oil rinse is the only step I do on some of my short days. Rinse w/water, apply oil, rinse w/hot water. I have DC both before and after oil rinsing.
Divachyk, you may also want to try a different oil. I use castor oil and always have soft results. I used jbco a few times too, same results. you're right, the more oil, the more "grippy" it feels. Once that feeling is gone, or loosened some, then you know the oil is slipping or rinsing out. It sounds like you never really rinsed the oil out
Napp, glad to hear it went well. I wouldn't say you did it incorrectly b/c I think there is no one "right" way to do it. But the original instructions are to wet the hair first; then do the oil, then rinse. Then put on your conditioner. You basically consolidated the process and slapped the conditioner right on top of the oil. Its definitely different, but it worked for u (most importantly)

I use my regular shampoo highly diluted. That's usually enough for my hair to feel clean. I also like VN's idea of using a different oil. I'd try a lighter oil (sesame, sunflower, jojoba) those might get better results for you. Just don't give up on it yet. If you can find the right combination it's magically.

divachyk Here's whats new: Deep condition on dry hair w/Aubrey Organics GPB. See Sareca's thread: "Dont sleep on deep conditioning dry hair with heat". Well I dont really do it on dry hair, I do a pre poo w/Chicoro's mix http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=509482, then apply the AOGPB, then plastic cap & towel. Then I co-wash it out-- it feels so great already. Then I do my fav- castor oil rinse. Bestest, and most moistest my hair has evah felt!

hi all....first time poster to this thread. i swear by using oil during shampoo/condish regimen. i don't necessarily add oil seperately i.e. after shampoo and before condish. instead i mix oil with my shampoo. i've recently started mixing my own shampoo using african black soap and oils such as JBCO, amla, almond or moringa, veg glycerin. it makes for a very moisturizing shampoo with a good lather. i find that this leaves my hair so very easy to detangle that it almost doesn't matter what condish i use (providing it doesn't contain protein). love it - having oil as a part of the shampoo/condish regimen wins!!
