Don't sleep on oil-rinses!

[Taina]

I don't have a problem detangling my hair yet, is not that long. As per now, it just detangles with my conditioner, but i will try this today when i co-wash to know if i notice a change.

=)

[bklyncurly]

Will definitely try. My hair and I fought like men last night!! The longer it gets, the more tangled mess it becomes. Glad this post made its' way back around because I think I missed it the first time around!

I'm filing this one.....

[Jazzmommy]

I'm having mega troubles now detangling my hair now it's gotten longer, so I will check this out.. never thought to try it before. Thanks for posting again..

I want to try it!

Grapeseed Oil outperforms Olive Oil, Jojoba, Carrot Oil, Coconut and Avocado Oils by delivering:

-50x more protective Anti-Oxidants for less environmental damage and impurities
-Heat Protection up to 450 degrees, where as Olive Oil burns at 250 degrees F
- Lightweight, quick absorbing, with brilliant shine

This worked great!! I used Surge Lotion Motion #9 Hair and Body oil. I bought this a few months ago at the BSS and never used it till now. It has aloe vera, jojoba oil, vitamin e oil, shea butter, olive oil, tea tree oil, soybean oil, clove oil, and coconut oil. I followed with Ion Reconstructing Treatment. Slathered new growth with Cantu Shea Butter leave in and I twisted my hair. I dont think my newgrowth has ever felt this soft and pliable.

Wow didnt know ppl did this on purpose lol. I was taking down my bun last night and my hair was soooo dry, So I drenched my hair in coconut oil. After about an hour I decided I used way too much so I braided my hair in about 20 braids and rinsed with aussie moist. I let the braids air dry and I just pulled them back with a hair zing.

I must say my ends are super soft and one braid came loose overnight and it felt great as I rebraided it... Also, my hair was soo easy to braid I just used my finger to part and finger comb. This may become a staple technique to battle my winter dryness

Last night I did the oil rinse with coconut oil. My hair detangled so easily under the running water. I worked section by section detangling with my Jibere shower comb until I could run the comb from root to tip without pause. For the record I'm 12 weeks post tex lax and my new growth don't play! Then I conditioned with my 12 en 1, rinsed, got the excess water out of my hair by squeezing it, added my leave in conditioning mixture and put it in a pony to air dry. I must say, although my hair took forever to dry, it was very soft and well moisturized. I couldn't keep my fingers out of my new growth! I will be adding oil rinses to my regimen when needed.

Bumping this fabulous thread! Will be trying this out on next wash day using jojoba oil.

sub'ing...

I did this for a while and loved it. I'm going to have to revisit the technique.

[AvaSpeaks]

I would like to try this too. Question, how many times do you do this? Like can you do this once a week or do you have to do it every other day or what?

[SVT]

Oil rinses definitely helped me with detangling.

Its just a technique for washing your hair. You can do it however often you wish. It boils down to just an extra step in the process between shampoo and conditioner.

Oh I see, so I do it after shampooing.

If I do it, do I need to deep condition as well? Can I still deep condition?

You have the option of DCing if you want to. II always do. The oil just helps with the detangling. The first post breaks it down really well.

If you're having problems with tangles try this...

1. Rinse (or shampoo) your hair
2. 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)
3. Rinse with warm/hot water
4. Apply conditioner
5. Rinse with cool/cold water
6. Apply leave-in
7. Seal

Gosh, I dont know how I missed this thread,
but I think I need this in my life.

It just so happens I have my FIRST try at amla oil brewing. I'll either use that, castor oil or I know there is a bottle under my sink that I didn't like the smell of (so maybe I'll use it up).

I was planning to go and revist henna (adding indigo this time) over the weekend but maybe I can figure a way to do both.
