Is is Hot Six Oil or Hot 6 Oil?!?!?!?!?!?!

[kreeme]

I just got back from the beauty supply store and I bought something called Hot Six Oil...this stuff STINKS!!! I can not stand the smell of it. I thought it was okay because I sprayed some in my son's hair at the store and then I smelled his hair and it smelled really good...I forgot I had put some grease in his head. So when I got home, I sprayed a little in my hand to feel the texture of it and I smelled my hand and thought I was going to die! Is this the product everyone is raving about? I saw somewhere where someone said "African Royale Hot Six Oil." Did I get the wrong product? Can I use this as a hot oil treatment or what?

is the cap yellow or red? because the africa's best brand has a red cap and i can't stand it! i have the one with the yellow cap and it just says "hot six oil" on it, and i love for my hot oil treatments! it smells great and the oils are starting to bring out my red highlights more.

The i use also has a gold/yellow cap as well. And i think it smells great.

There is a picture of what I bought on their website. Go to

This is the other one they have, but I didn't see it otherwise I might have gotten this one instead. http://www.bronnerbros.com/Products/hot_6_oil.html

The second one is what I have w/the gold top. Not a spray bottle. I love it!

Why don't u take it back and exchange?

 

[patticake]

I hope I can take it back and exchange it since I just bought it...but you know sometimes they say "No Exchange No Refund." I'm going to give it a try anyway.

I'm sorry kreeme, gotta laugh "this stuff stinks"

.

African Royale Hot Six Oil is the official name. I sometimes abbrev "Six" for "6"

I have 2 comments here...

1) You said that u "sprayed" some in your son's hair in the store.
THIS IS NOT THE OIL THAT I USE... let me explain. There's 2 brands on the market, both named "Hot Six Oil", both made by the same co. One is a "spray bottle" (that u used) and the other is a "pour bottle". I use the "pour bottle". The ingredients are slightly different among the two oils. The "pour bottle's" 1st ingredient is "Olive Oil".... the "spray bottle's" 1st ingredient I believe is "Canola Oil". I've never smelled the oil in the "spray bottle"....

2) Luv, u must have got ahold of some "old" oil. When it sits out on the shelves for some time, it smells aweful

. After purchasing some "old" stinky oil, I now do the "smell test" before I purchase it. Fresh oil sorta smells like something fruity when u unscrew the top.

Sometimes the oil will "turn" after sitting on my shelf at home. I still use it though. Once on the hair, I don't notice the smell, probably because it blended with my leave in or S-Curl. But one things for certain, it's my # 1 oil... that stuff works wonders on my hair, fruity smelling or stinky

.

BTW, it's good for hot oils

God Bless,
Peachtree

edited to add....... I TOO USE THE 2ND OIL

 

[kreeme]

Peachtree...you laughing, but I was really turned off by that funk! Anyway, I just got back from the Beauty Supply store and they glady exchanged it for me, as a matter of fact, it was cheaper and it smelled LOVELY!!!

I can't wait to try it out tonight. So when you use it as a hot oil, do you put it in another container or what? Do you put it in daily as a moisterizer or dry or wet hair?

I'm trying to get the flow of things going with my hair.

I would like to put my vote in for the second pic. I too have the african royale hot six oil, and it smells really good. Works very well for hot oil treatment on damp hair.

 

[azul11]

hmmm i will have to try this out. yes...

God bless you all.

That's what I needed to know. So there's no need to have my hair drenched with water?

 

[kreeme]

Okay yall...thanks for the help. I tried it earlier today and I like it so far. My hair dried nice and smooth...and it smells good too

Next time I am going to take notes and go in the store with my index cards so I know exactly what to get. My thing is, I try to remember what I read on this site and when I get into the Beauty Supply store, I see all of this stuff and get the first thing that "looks" like I read about. I learned a valuable lesson today. As broke as I am, I ain't got time to be buying the wrong items!

I use the second one also on my daughter's hair and have been for quite some time. It does wonders at softeneing AND straightening her natural hair. I love it. Since Peachtree mentioned it, I've started using it also. Really good stuff.

Yes, I pour it into another container... an application bottle (with the long narrow spout). This way I can make sure that the oil is reaching my scalp as well. For moisturizing, I have a spray bottle. I use it on both dry & wet (lightly damp) hair.
BTW, I've discovered the longer I use this oil, the better the results

.

Armyqt, I'm glad the oil is working for ya'. Words simply can not express how much I love this oil

Many luving blessings,
Peachtree

is this product specifically for hot oil treatments or can be this be used to moisturize? God bless you all.

The lady at the beauty supply store told me I could use it as both. For hot oil, just heat it up in a cup or something. I used it yesterday as both and my hair turned out super soft today. This will definitely be a keeper in my PJ collection.

 

[Peachtree]

I'm glad it worked to your liking. The more u use the oil, the better the results

I absolutely looooove

this oil

 

[kreeme]

Dang Peachtree...how long u been using the hot 6 oil?

Your hair is tha bomb!!! I see we got the same hair type...I need to get down with your regimine. What's your secret? I want some long pretty hair too!

 

[Peachtree]

Hey Kreeme

Thanks sweetie pie! I've been using Hot 6 ever since beginning my "healty hair regime" on Sept 1. I love this oil... did I already say that

.

 

[adrienne0914]

i also used the second one before i started making my own oils. after a while the smell of that one got on my nerves too.

it definitely doesn't stink though. it just has a strong smell that bugs after a while...

 

[lunalight7]

I have used this on my body as an after-shower moisturizer...it seals in the water and keeps my ashy behind smooth all day !!!

 

[Babygurl]

No one likes the spray version, I love it and it smells WONDERFUL!

Me too!

It is really great for ashy elbows and knees and ankles too

But I love it most in my hair. I'm so glad I have the LHCF--I never would have even looked at this stuff if I hadn't heard about it here. I love y'all

[CocoaCure]

Yep, the one on the second pic is the one I've used also! I have two bottles of that at home. Also, the Wonder 8 with 8 Essential oils is GREAT! This one also smells better than the Hot Six Oil I think!
