I did it sorta like the baggie method but on all my hair. I rubbed it in my hands for awhile so it was melted and just put it all over my hair. I put a shower cap on and sat around with it for a couple of hours. My hair was dry.
Now that I think about it, I don't think it was the shea butter. I mean it did make my hair all moisturized and all that good stuff but I think it was just my shampoo and conditioner. I use ARTec textureline smoothing but I hadn't used it in a while because I've been CO washing with TRESemme w/b12 and gelatin (great stuff) and Redken Heavy Cream (I love this stuff). It's weird because when you're in the shower the ARTec doesn't make your hair feel great but when you get it out it's so much smoother and it dries so soft and fluffy. ! % !c. ` Ba % , 0 " ,"B "2%,$ %,%$(( $ "2

I like ahogee essential fatty acids the most for mixing with conditioners and relaxers, that stuff leaves your hair a lot more moisturized and softer than other oils. I like hot six oil for when I'm just oiling my hair because it's light and it has a nice smell.

I voted for grapeseed oil. But really, I use a mixture of grapeseed and rosemary oil, and put it in an applicator bottle. It works like WGO, but not as funky smelling. I've tried adding the rosemary oil to my WGO but it seems to effect my results. So for me, it's my own little mixture that's my favorite oil to use  *NOT*Principle38560.5696180556 - Aa` ``q e ,

I use Doo Gro oils. They are very good. I've used the Mega Thick Growth, Anti Itch Growth & Stimulating Growth Oils. I can't say I noticed a difference in "growth" or "thickness", but they are good with leave-in conditioners, helping with detangling. The only Doo Gro product that I've used that actually combatted hair loss & did so QUICKLY, is the DOO GRO Mega Thick Medicated Hair Vitalizer Anti-Thinning Formula. I used it & in about 3 weeks the thinning spot thickened! I keep it on hand and use it for my daughter's hair. Aaan 00" , 0 /04" $!,$() $ ,%! ,8 B

Just curious....I am an oil/grease phobic! I'd love to put a product in my hair that moisturizes it and also helps lay my press but will not feel sticky in my fingers when I run my hands through it.
Can I ask you ladies which oil you believe has the best performance and is the least greasy?

It smells very good. For those in the Atlanta area I got if from Sevananda in Little 5 Points. It's 12.59 for 12 oz.

It smells like baby oil....a "grown" version if you will. It comes from the egyptian oil fragrance. I love that hair oil it's the best I've used so far b/c the smell isn't overwhelming and it's not greasy at all. Doesn't weigh the hair down either. |

This is what I found on a hair website http://www.curlyhairsalon.com/homerecipes.html
To keep your curls healthy, try the following natural essential oil moisturizers:
Patchouli Oil - Adds moisture and sheen to dreads.
Sage Oil - Stimulates growth and is said to kill bacteria.
Rosemary Oil - Adds sheen to hair, stimulates growth is said to be good at fighting dandruff.
Sweet Almond Oil - Great for fighting a dry, itchy scalp. Contains vitamins E and F. Also good for itchy scalp.
Primrose Oil - Conditiions and moisturizes hair.
Jojoba Oil - Great for adding moisture to a dry scalp. Jojoba oil smoothes and conditions hair.
Avocado Oil - Contains vitamins A, D, and E.
Birch Oil - Great anti-dandruff scalp soother.
Calendula Oil - Light astringent. Is said to soothe the scalp and eczema problems.
Olive or Extra Olive Oil - An excellent leave-in conditioner.
Emu Oil - Natural & non-toxic, non-comedogenic (does not clog pores)...fights dandruff.
These essential oils are great at adding moisture and sheen to locks and other natural styles. |

I love to use those essential oils (jojoba, almond, shea) to do a hot oil treatment on my hair before I shampoo and condition. For everyday use I love Parnevu (spelling?)

The only time i use pure vitamin E is I wash my hair. I put some on my edges when it's wet but not on the rest of my hair b/c the oil is too thick. I use to use the kind straight out the capsule but I have some in a 1oz bottle and it's really thick when if I try to warm it in the palm of my hands. |

Hi everyone im JE JE, and im new to the group. Well im not that new...I sneak in from time to time, but i never post.
I just wanted to say that i love Jojoba oil and sweet almond oil, but they are very expensive and my hair requires a lot of it. I have waist length hair so I need alot of oil. I have found that the jojoba and sweet almond work best when i mix them with a large amount of Vegetable Oil.

Extra virgin Coconut oil seems to agree the most with me. I add some to my leave in every day. It feels my hair feeling soft and moisterised but not overly greasy.
I found EVOO too heavy and every time I sprayed it on I had to have a shower to get rid of the greasy feeling.

Well I am a newbie to this board, but not to haircare. What works for me are the following oils:
Extra virgin olive oil: use it for pre-poo, conditioner booster, and lubrucating the hair.
Jojoba oil: pre-poo, conditioner booster, hair lube
Nexxus Botanic Oil: pre-poo, conditioner booster, hair lube
Castor oil: pre-poo, conditioner booster
Coconut oil: hair lube (for summer only)
These are the oils that I use on a consistent basis.

Well, EVOO doesnt really work for me anymore, it just kindda sits on my hiar and makes it greasy.. so its no longer my favorite.
I have grown fond of coconut oil. It leaves my hair feeling wonderful, soft and moisturised without it being weighted down.
I use castor oil on occasion for pre poo treatments, its super thick but it does leave my hair pretty soft.
I still want to experiment more with oils though. But ive got a question. Do you think buying oils online is cheaper than buying them if health food stores? sakura072006-07-11 08:30:31

I just discovered Virgin Coconut oil and jojoba, both are good and do not weigh down the hair...but you still have to go lightly when applying it.
It is the miracle oil for me ,afro american hair dry from relaxers. I still have my relaxer...yippi, my hair is on its way to healthy..... will see how long it takes to get more length
Special note: I also switched to organic shampoos with no toxican at all
Aubrey Organics is fabulosooooous
Has any afro american tried the NATRALAXER for relaxing hair...I have order, please let me know it was recommended by EWG.ORG

o.k.
I read your album, the journey you have been on is much like mine, hair stylist using wrong products, cut happy and i got styles that lasted 1 day even after the caked on hair spray the put on. So I went on my journey thru the internet and stumbled upon UBH Publications, first i got some copycat site tryng to mimmick UBH..they got money money $20. oh well.
UBH, I learned alot of takiing care of my own hair and keeping my hair relaxed. I dont want to come out of my relaxer either. the key is moisture and protien and condition, less heat...I wear a wig, no cap under it, Keep the coco oil on it and sleep with satin pillow & scarf. I use AUbrey natural Shampoos. my hair was to my upper back, now at my shoulder, so I am really trying to get my hair back ( the wig allows me to keep heat styling tools off my hair while I get it in shape. I am trying to distance the relaxing schedule to 8 weeks instead 6.....Have you tried the relaxer called Naturalaxer (not harsh straightening chemical....go to EWg.org and get info on toxican in shampoo.....very informative..you may second guess things you use on your head and body...dont want to scare you though

I just started using Avacado Oil and so far so good. I have been using it at my nightly regime and my ponytail baggies. It's rich in proteins so it strengthens and right now I don't have any split ends.
1. I love Phase 3 oil by Proactiv ( I think ) I used this once a week before using my curling iron and it leaves my hair silky soft and not dry from the heat. I love it
2. EMU oil for about 3 months and it's ok, it leaves no greasy residue and helps my hair retain some moisture.
3. Kera Care Essential Oils is great. I love it. It has a great mixture of natural oils and it smells of sweet coconut and is not sticky at all. I have been using this about 6 months and I love it a little goes a long way.
4. Virgin Coconut Oil is GREAT! I went to the health food store in search of Jojoba oil, but they were out so I remember reading about VCO somewhere online and decided to give it a try. I couldn't wait to give it a try. Besides it smelling great it made my hair extremely soft and the breakage stopped immediately. I am so excited at my new find. Tonight is my Co wash and I can't wait to try it out and go ahead with my regiment from there. So I'll keep you posted.

O.K. good you found what can work for you....remember dont get any on your scalp, moisture is for hair only. scalp should create its onwn natural oil.
I havent put any coco on my hair for three days, and guess what I still soft hair (not dry at all) My point here is howofften does your obsorb those oils and does it get dry all over again....this is wha I found with all the products I tried, very very temporary, and then you get a build up because you have to constantly put on hair which eventually will get on your scalp, causing itching, ect.
Kemi sucked, BB MOisture sucked, QP, African Prides and more cant thnk right now, been thru them all
Look at your ingredients and compare the harsh and health concerns....go to ewg.org.
the coco oil and jojoba, you can ut on your body and scalp....coco you can cook with as well. Guess how much money you will save on hair oils,moisturizers, lotions

I have been flipping the bottles over and reading the ingredients and staying away from petroleum and mineral oil. Now correct me if I am wrong but I thought alcohol was something to stay away from too, but I have noticed that alot of moisturizers have cethyl alcohol in it.
I have also noticed alot of products are temporary. I am now experiencing dry ends and no matter what I do pony baggies, no baggies, it still gets dry once the air hits it. have you found any oil that helps obtain moisture?

HI Sexysyn
About products, you have to do more that look at the a few items on the bottle, you have to look at them all, many of them case cancer they are carcinogen, dyes, fragrances and yest alcohol, stay away from it is VERY drying
when you get a pure and natural shampoo and moisturizer no acholol is in them.
I too had the ends drying out faster.....it getting better now since I am using the COCONUT OIL every day and focusing more on the ends.
PLease I can not strees this more than anything go to EWG.ORG and view the Skin deep toxic list of inredients....there you will find out just what is in your products and the health issues with them
Yes, you probably dont have cancer now, but you never know why you get illness later on in life and you wonder why you get what you get.
I had allergy for years, did not know why, wow ehen I change shampoos I noticed a change, so something in some on the shampoo maybe, who knows for sure.

Carrot Oil is good for the guys that have waves in their hair such as myself. It naturally conditions your hair and changes your hair texture after repeated use. |

I've been using the Ginseng Oil products for the longest. They really help combat hair dryness! I believe this oil system is severly underrated because it has helped me grow my hair from chin length to waistlength!

I have been using the Ginseng Hair oils for the longest. I use them to combat hair dryness and they have helped me grow my hair really, really long. From chin length to the middle of my back. I have been using them for about 4 years.

I have switched to using oil to combat different hair and skin ailments. I have ordered natural shea butter and cocoa butter and made my own hair moisturizer.
I have mixed shea butter, cocoa butter, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil with a few drops of peppermint oil, rosemary oil and vitamin oil and use this twice a day. At night to wrap my hair and in the morning. And I found it works great. Leaves my hair extremely soft and the shine last all day long. Jamaica Mangoe and Lime products have a great oil out also. I use a combination of stuff, but trying my best to stick to the natural things. I also use aloe vera gel from time to time. From my research, black hair takes oil well, but in cases where it don't, vegetable glcerin and aloe vera works wonders.
Water soluble oil such as jojoba oil and castor oil works best because it's easily absorbed into skin and hair leaving a moisturized glow without a greasy feel. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is also good but need to be used sparingly because it will leave a sticky heavy greasy feel behind.

Well, I've never tried any of these oils. The only hair oils I have tried are the Doo Gro oils and Wild Growth hair oil. Both have been really good for my hair growth, so they are the ones I use most often. Where do yall find these products, cause I haven't come across any of these at Sally's or Wal Mart.

I think that's a fatty acid, not a drying alcohol. Try using a water based moisturizer and sealing it with an oil that will help retain moisture.

Dabur Vatika enriched coconut hair oil is my favourite too,it includes ingredients such as henna, lemon, rosemary oil and amla which strengthen the roots of your hair to help maintain health and thickness. Dabur AMLA hair oil is quite an ancient hair remedy lol and works a treat because it promotes hair growth more and the healthiness. Dabur JASMINE hair oil makes hair really silky and smells gorgeous, but can turn hair a lighter shade gradually.
where i sometimes buy them when the stores have run out.

Emu oil is my favorite because its creamy, increases the moisture level
and makes my hair feel very rich and emollient. It also helps other
oils deeply penetrate. I love it.
Next up is coconut, which not only smells good but adds moisture, shine, and prevents against hair protein loss.
I know people like to say oil only seals but doesn't moisturize. That's not true with these two oils, especially emu.

My favorite oil is Virgin Coconut Oil. I also like EV Olive Oil, though. Coconut oil is great for promoting hair elasticity and improving the cuticle and shine. If taken internally it will make hair more manageable, soft, and shiny and also reduces your bodies need for Vitamin E. The benefits of this oil are endless. It's the only saturated fat proven to lower bad cholesterol levels and improve good ones. It also works as an anti-oxidant and blocks free radicals that can damage skin and hair. I can go on and on about coconut oil, but here's a website that can tell you more about it if you're interested.
