I'm in.
I will be using
EVCO
Castor Jelly
Castor Oil
Jojoba
Camellia

I have discovered that oiling is an excellent way for me to daily condition my hair and I'm hooked.

 

[growinghealthyhair]

Oh man. I have so many oils that I need to use up it's crazy. :-/ Will be back later to post mine!

 

[Ronnieaj]

Castor
JBCO
Macadamia
Rice bran
Wheat germ
Hemp
Pracaxi
Argan
Camellia
Brahmi amla
Amla
Bhringaraj

I think that's it.

I went to Brunch today and Slapped on some Red Palm Butter, 2 Plastic Caps a Du-rag & My Wig for a Mock-Hot.

I used up this Jar of Red Palm Oil/Butter. *won't repurchase*

I am now DC'ing under the Steamer but I applied my DC'er and then Put Some Ceramides Oil (I got from @Ltown) On My Hands and Rubbed in on the DC'er.

Will use a Little Pure Argan with My L-I and then Seal with HV Avosoya Oil after Drying.

 

[chelseatiara]

I will be entering this challenge MAINLY with my castor oil, but will be using up several others along the way....maybe i should get the grapeseed for my length....

[Meritamen]

I took down my cornrows today and my hair felt so soft and moisturized so I am going to continue with this challenge. Still using my coconut/sesame seed oil mix for pre-wash treatments, scalp oiling, and sealing after a water spritz. I really want to get my hands on some hemp seed oil after reading through the ceramide threads. Oh, and I have a burning urge to dabble in herbal oil infusions. Time to do some research!
It's been a week since I last washed my hair (skipped wash day) and to my surprise my hair esp. my ends feel really soft and moist. I'm gonna try to stretch wash day to two weeks and see what happens.

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[PAgirl]

I think using oils has stopped my breakage and shedding. I have only been doing it a few days but my hair is 100% healthier.

I alternate between massaging jojoba oil on my scalp and coconut oil on my scalp and hair nightly.

 

[ladysaraii]

Thanks for the mention.

I just used grapeseed oil for my detangling while washing my hair in the shower

 

[hannan]

Gracias for the reminder!

I'm thinking about doing a HOT with olive oil on Saturday.

eta: using up:

coconut oil
grapeseed oil
castor oil and jbco
hemp seed oil
sesame oil

 

[LuvlyRain3]

PAgirl

It's stopped my breakage and shedding as well. I love my oils.

I deep conditioned tonight and added EVCO, EVOO, EVAO to my conditioner.

 

[itismehmmkay]

Yay we're still going! And yes I'll be doing a hotoil tomorrow I think. I have OTC in my hair right now.

 

[prettyhair73]

I washed my hair today with Trader Joe's tea tree shampoo, conditioned with Hello Hydration, sealed and oiled my scalp with my delicious Shea/coconut/Grapeseed/EVOO/Castor/Peppermint/Orange oil mix and added some Aloe Vera gel to the mix.

My hair is looking good, I just need this crown to grow a bit. I think I am going to start hanging my head off the edge of the bed like I used to do when I was a kid to get the blood flowing there.

Current Oils/Potions:
Shea Butter
Mango Shea Butter
Avocado Oil
Castor Oil
EVOO
EV Coconut Oil
Sunflower Oil (I thought I bought Safflower and just realized it was Sunflower!!)
Grapeseed Oil
Jojoba Oil
Aloe Vera Gel
Peppermint, orange, rosemary, lavender essential oil

 

[leiah]

I have

Grapeseed
Sunflower
Olive
Hempseed
Vatika
mustard
JBCO
tomato seed
broccoli seed
black cumin seed

I just started using tomato seed and i'm excited to see what it does for my hair about after reading about it

[beana]

Thanks for the mention! Because my pjism has the tendency to get out of control, I am going to stick to 3 oils for my challenge:

Coconut oil (really strengthens my hair and adds shine)
castor oil (for my edges)
Sweet almond oil- LOVE this for oil rinses, consistent results and my hair is sooo much smoother and healthier looking in between washes.

 

[chebaby]

ive been pre pooing overnight with coconut oil and will continue to do so. my hair is loving it.

 

[babyu21]

Checking in for the next leg of the challenge. I did a treatment today before I washed my hair, I am sitting under the dryer as I type. If I keep this up mot of my stash will be gone.

 

[Stella B.]

Hey All! I have definitely increased my use of natural oils in my hair care, thanks to this challenge. I massage midweek with any combo of two or three oils I need to use up, and just today added a scalp oil mix of coconut, jojoba, and castor. I put the oils in an applicator bottle, and will use weekly. I massaged my scalp by bending forward, and letting my hair hang down to increase blood flow to the scalp for a few minutes. It felt very stimulating! I'd be more than happy to continue this challenge T, cause I really think the oils are making my hair stronger (offering protection) and adding elasticity to my otherwise eternally 'dry' strands...

 

[Amazhaan]

@IDareT'sHair

Thanks for the mention, girl!

I'm all in!

Here's what I'll be using:

- Grape Seed Oil
- Wheat Germ Oil
- Castor Oil
- Jamaican Black Castor Oil
- Argan Oil
- Jojoba Oil
- Apricot Kernel Oil
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Claudie's Hair Elixir
- Pure Coconut Oil

And KeraCare Essential Oil Mix...

I also have the Alter Ego Garlic Mask which says Oil Treatment, so I'm not sure if that counts -- but I'll be using this bi-weekly.

I will also alternate Oil Rinsing and Hot Oil Treatments, once a week.

I want to get consistent with massaging my hair with Claudie's Hair Elixir nightly and also oiling my ends with Grape Seed Oil or JBCO nightly as well.

I really think that by babying my hair more and doing the above that I can begin to retain more length and get to SL by the end of 2011.

 

[Angelicus]

Hello. I can't believe this but I've actually been consistent with pre-pooing my hair with an oil. I have been using Parachute Gold Coconut oil consistently before each wash. I either apply it and let it sit overnight or massage it in my hair/scalp for 30 minutes before washing.

There is a difference-- my hair is very soft, touchable, and very pretty. I will still have to cut my hair to get it even but it's quite healthy. Sometimes I like to put it in my hair daily for shine.

When I run out of the Parachute Gold Coconut oil, I will probably use EVOO mixed with a touch of tea tree oil for my oiling.

I really want to protect my hair from breakage so in the future, I would like to purchase Mizani night time treatment.

 

[An_gell]

I want to join my hair loves hot oil treatments!! I will be using:

Olive oil
Cocasta oil
African pride growth oil
Coconut oil
Avocado oil

Thanks for doin this again!

 

[daaiyah]

Today I warmed my virgin coconut oil in the wax warmer (the kind you warm scented wax in like from scentsy or walmart) and applied it to my hair. I love the way this feels.

 

[Shay72]

I oiled my hair with sweet almond oil, will wear a plastic cap for about 30 minutes, rinse, then cowash.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

Glad to see we're continuing this my hair has really been better since I started using more oils.

I'll be using the following in either mixes or straight to pre poo, HOT ,oil rinse and seal.

Hemp
EVOO
CO
Grapeseed
Flaxseed
Castor
Mustard
SSI Pumpkin seed oil mix
Komaza moku oil
cocasta oil
