You can get jojoba oil from most natural food stores, but if there's not one near you check Ebay Stores for soap making supplies. Many have great prices on a a variety of oils.

Marie, looks beautiful!

I'm yet to use my RK b/c of the "tangle issues" So, I'm definately gonna give the Olive oil a shot!

Hi Gsmilie,

I used to sleep in Olive Oil all the time until I switched to jojoba (which works so much better for me).  I used to destroy pillow cases with the oil and sometimes it would seep down into my pillows.  eeeehhhhhh.  Anyway, I bought a really cheap but thick beach towel at Target and then made custom pillowcases.  I would cover the actual pillow with Saran or similar wrap and then carefully pull the beach towel pillow case over that.  That ended the stains and yuckiness because I could just remove the towel and wash.

Also, I used to have a hard time getting the oil out of my hair.  Someone at HairTalk told me to put just a little bit of concentrated shampoo into the palm of my hand, wet my hair down really well and then pat the full strength shampoo along my bangs and crown and then turn water on to help forms suds.  That did the trick and cut right through the olive oil. 

I really don't have that problem with the jojoba, which is part of why I switched.

 

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)

Aphogee was a big seller in the late 80's early 90's. When we were all coloring and perming are hair. Talk about fryed! It feels like dryed egg whites. But it dose rinse out not like they said about the other one.

let us know how it works out. 

I looked at Sally's last night and almost bought the Aphogee, but was a little scared of the whole "once dry, don't touch the hair as it wil break" thing.

Thank G! It still sounds like what ep is using on the soft wear hair. I guess if i get it I will just try it on a small amount of hair frist,like the blond stuff I have. It's interesting about mixing natural products with it. May be after useing it you should stick with Downy like synth hair needs he he!

Here is the link about where they talk about biolustre:

I don't know if this will help anybody, but I found it interesting.

Hey, just an FYI, I read on the longhair board about someone who used the biolustre and did not have very good results with it.  I guess once you use it, you have to be careful of what you put onto your hair.  I will try and find the link and post it.

Darn I could not get to that site but jojoba oil sounds good couldn't hurt. My hair actualy feels better now then it did when I frist put it in and I think I'm going on 6 or 7 weeks! I have lost track of time KB if it's to much it will just feel oily in which case just give it a shapoo. I think puting oil in every time I wash is why it still looks so good. I will let you know how it goes with the biolustre once I order it. I still think Amm has another selle,  better smelling than the olive oil I bet!

Your hair looks shiny, chicky!

I've been having decent luck with the olive oil in my Fina hair, which is starting to get a bit dry and poufy after 5 weeks. It works better than the various frizz and shine creams I'd been using, I think. But I'm out to hunt locally for something like this: http://lizarddreaming.southwestcuisine.com/jojobaoil.htm I'll buy it online if I can't find jojoba at a reasonable price around here. (Amm, do you have any to try? I used to use it for making toiletries and such.) From what I understand, jojoba oil is closest to the body's natural sebum, so it seems like it'd be appropriate for long, parched hair.

Thank's guy's!! KB I think if you use to much it wont mater. I think I put about hmmm 5 tablespoons worth in. But the weft I soaked I did wash lightly after so I could pre tip. In shower I use same amount I would any conditioner. Just pour some in this case I would rather have to much you can wash it out after. The drops go to www.jbeverlyhills.com and do a search for retailor. There the gloss drops in the pump bottle. Now I can't wit to try that polmer cross link treatment on that new post. I think that may strenth the blond wefts I have.
