IDareT'sHair That's from Hangin' Out with You!:look:.....

You know how you do:lol: You gots the Oilzzzzzzzzzzz

:lachen: you know I just purchased coconut, mustard and sesame oils at the Indian grocer today :lick:

I will repurchase the oils that worked best for my hair in oil rinses, ayurvedic pastes and herbal infusions. The Indian grocer has food grade oils at reasonable prices e.g. $5.00 for 600 ml coconut oil, $3.50 for 500 ml mustard, almond or sesame oil.

Oil rinsed with sunflower, castor & WEN Lavender oils. One more use of the WEN and it'll be gone. I can't wait, I loathe how it smells.

Used the last of my beloved Isha today :cry: and sealed with enso Serum.

Massaged Claudie's Elixer into my scalp.

On a happy hair journey
Haven't updated in a while. I have still been using oils but stopped greasing my scalp with them since it is too dang hot here. Instead, I've keep up with using my oil mix for pre-poos and sealing and have recently fallen for QB's Aethiopika butter which has rice bran oil in it (my new fave oil.)
I used some of that butter last night when cornrowing my hair for a braid-out today and it turned out very soft. :)

Oiled Up with Darcy's Pumpkin Seed Exlir.

Shay72 Should I buy the QB Moringa Softening Serum?:perplexed I'm torn.
Do I need it?

I have the EN Marshmallow & Moss Serum and the DB Exlir + a ton of other oils.

What do you think?

I was about to ask Shay about the serum, too. I haven't used it in a very long time. Joint is pricey!! :perplexed I still haven't decided if I'll get any Qhemet.

Anyway, I used some HTN Lotion and sealed with the oil. :lick:

I couldn't remember which thread had the question. I do love Shea Moisture's Restorative Elixir and need to try DB's Pumpkin Seed one since I do have it. Is there a difference bw elixirs and serums?

Shay72 IMO They are both about the same consistency thick.:lol:

But, the SM Restorative Exlir reminds me of DB Oils (i.e. Peach, Apricot, Cherry, Watermelon) and are in a similar Spritz-Like Bottle and about the same weight adding the same type of Sheen.:yep:
