Hi Everyone
Just wondering what oils you like to use on your hair and why? Also, how and when do you use them?
Personally, I use avocado oil 5 days a week because I find it moistures the hair very deeply, without a greasy residue. I use about a half teaspoon of oil and rub it on my palms and then slide it onto the length of the hair that is below ear-length. It sinks right in and makes the hair soft.
At the weekend, I will use coconut oil for a heavy overnight oiling. This oil gives the hair a thorough pre-wash conditioning and I feel that it strengthens the strands with long-term use. I use about a tablespoon of the oil and work it into scalp and hair and then go to sleep with a big towel on my pillow.
Please share your oiling preference and methods.
Thanks
Uzma

Thanks Uzi, for posting this topic. I had considered the same, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.
And Monica, I had the same question! I don't know where to buy plain oils. Just the mixed kinds they have at Sally's.
I use jojoba oil on my hair, about once a month. I often don't go out much on weekends, especially in winter, so I'll just put it in on Friday night, and wash it out Sunday evening! Somehow, it doesn't transfer onto my pillow. Even though my whole head is covered, it's just like my hair is really naturally greasy. It isn't gross or any inconvenience. I even run out to the store sometimes with it in. (Hey why not, we don't know anyone in this town! No... I probably wouldn't do this in my hometown. :) )
Ahem... anyway. Jojoba Oil is in the natural products / health food section of a supermarket near me. (It's Shaw's, for those of you who live in the Northeast... while I don't like anything else about Shaw's, they do have a much better natural section than any other northeast chain.) Unfortunately, Shaw's doesn't seem to have any other oils. Or if they do, they're not with the beauty care section like the jojoba is.
Jojoba really helps when my hair is really dry and keeps getting tangled. It makes it right again. :)
It's like $7 for a 2oz bottle, which is good for like 4 or 5 whole-head uses.

I oil the last 3 or 4 inches with jojoba when I remember to do it. I was vigilant about doing the ends this winter - now it's not as important, since the heating isn't on. Like Supergrover, once every couple of weeks, I oil the length of my hair on Friday evening after work, do whatever, sleep, re-oil on Saturday, take care of errands, shopping, whatever, oil again on Saturday night and let it all soak in. Wash out on Sunday evenings.
My hair is very coarse textured, and with oil it seems sleeker and smoother. I am about to go back to a blend of oils that I get from WalMart called Africa's Best - it's very light for summertime use, and much less expensive than jojoba.
Cheers! Gren

Hi Monica and SuperGrover
You can get Avocado oil at http:// - http://www.mountainroseherbs.com - http://www.mountainroseherbs.com (their stuff and their service is brilliant)
I use oils on dry (or almost dry) hair for maximum penetration. Some folks report that using oils on damp hair locks in moisture.
I guess it's best to try out both and see what suits your particular hair type.
Hi Gren
I have coarse black (and white) hair too, which used to be ultra-dry all the time and kinda wavy/curly/frizzy in parts. With regular oiling it has straightened up a lot. Not just when it's oiled but when it's freshly washed and naturally dried as well. I find that strange - but I like it !!!
Happy Sunday to you all

Uzma! What a great website! If I weren't trying to save money right now, I'd be all about spending a wad of cash there! *crossing fingers for Thursday's job interview*
Wow, Turquoise! EVERY day! How long is your hair? Fine or coarse? Is it really dry? My hair is fine, and I have a suspicion too much oil would weigh it down. But maybe I could try using it more often.

Hi Uzi, oh mightly oil expert and goddess, I have a question for you:
I checked the site you suggested and the prices seem very reasonable...and what a selection! Can you suggest the best oil for my hair type? Mine is a little past shoulder length, the last couple inches are fairly dry, I am of European descent and my hair is thick but really heavy products tend to make it look greasy. What is the best oil that won't give me a weighed down look? (I only plan to use oil on the last few inches.) Thanks for your help--I appreciate it!
Oh...addition....I followed Gren's lead and signed up for free image hosting...so here's what my hair looks like: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/210233/film.jpg - http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/210233/film.jpg

I also use the Mountain Rose Herbs site, great prices, selections and service. I use their Macadamia Nut Oil and Sesame Oil (untoasted). I add some different essential oils to each type and use a small amount on my ends everyday. Once a month I coat my hair heavily, put a plastic cap on and heat it for 20 min. Awesome deep treatment.

I use a jojoba oil and aloe conditioner on my hair once a week, before I wash my hair. I used to use Vitamin E oil, but have since run out. I'm pretty sure you can get these oils and natural products at Whole Foods Market or Trader Joe's.

I'm afraid of having a difficult time getting the oil out of my hair and/or leaving it in tangles, which was the case with olive oil. (That was a disaster!) Any help?

Hi SuperGrover
How did the job interview go? Hope you are smiling when you read this .
Hello Lyris - you stunning beauty!
Hmm - sound like you had a bad time with sticky olive oil. You're not alone.
Grapeseed oil is very light and odourless, as are Almond and Macadamia oils. I would suggest you try any of the above, but if your hair tends to tangles, then go with unrefined Avocado oil. It is moisturising yet non-greasy and disappears completely into the hair without leaving any stickiness (in my experience).
I have just bought some Wild Rosehip Seed oil and Kukui Nut oil.  Will report back on the results!!
Cheers

Hey everyone!
Thanks for asking about the interview! I think it went well, but I don't want to jinx anything! *Knock on wood*
To answer your question Lyris, I tried something from Sally's called Queen Helene's Jojoba Oil. It wasn't pure jojoba oil though. The main ingredient was an animal oil. Lanolin, I think? I was reading Paula Begoun's book at the time, and I didn't realize lanolin was animal oil. And that grossed me out. But I really liked the oil, so I might get over it. Or I might not. I'm on the fence.
I'm all for animal rights, but on the other hand, the animal was killed for the meat, mainly. The hair oil is just a side product... Which doesn't make it OK, but it somehow eases my conscious.
I dunno. It's late, I'm goin' to bed. :) I don't mean to start an animal rights debate here!
But another thing, the Sally's oil is cheap! I think it was $4.00 for a 10 oz bottle.
And thanks Uzi! I plan on trying avocado oil, too. Hey, it's a major ingredient in All Soft! Must be good!

I have enjoyed learning about oils and think I will begin my quest to find the one that works for my hair too.
I went into a salon today to have a condition only. The colorist looked at my hair and felt it and stepped out from behind the counter and said save your money, all you need to do is keep the oils on it.
She said wash your hair, condition it and do the cool rinse. Then take about a dime size of oil (your choice) and start at the ends and don't rub but scrunch it into your hair and work your way up. By the time you get to the top you have less oil where you need it less. My hair is slightly wavy so the scrunching helps with the waves. But she told me that scrunching is better than rubbing the hair anyways.
Because my hair is soooo very dry these days she advised using coconut oil, she told me that I could find it at Sally's, and I did. It comes in a jar and is more like a "butter" or dare I say "grease" (butter sounds a little better) anyway... it was only 1.99 for this big jar.
So I am starting that. Daily. For awhile.
She also said oil up at bedtime, or on a day I am just at home around the house. She said once in awhile use my favorite conditioner and saturate my hair, put a plastic wrap over it and leave it on for however long I want. Or heat wrap it.
Just little things like that will make a big difference.
I did try the coconut oil/butter. Now that my hair is not damp anymore it feels soft, and I can definitely see it in my hair. But it doesn't look greasy, just defined and not frizzy dry looking. So far so good. This will be fun to try all the oils everyone is suggesting! Thanks for sharing the Mountain Rose Herbs website, Uzma. It's a great site. A good place to begin.
Avacado sounds great, and she also recommended carrot oil. Never heard of it but she said it was one of her favorites and told me to find that at the local healthfood store. So off I go tomorrow.

Hi Monica
Our Karen has written a series on Hair Profiling which should help you work out your hair type. Here are the links:
http:// - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1471.htm - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1471.htm http:// - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1502.htm - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1502.htm http:// - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1484.htm - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1484.htm http:// - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip3587.htm - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip3587.htm
With regard to trying oils, I suggest you start with a small quantity of any basic hair oil, applied very lightly to the last few inches of the ends of your hair.
You need to try a few oils before finding the one that best suits you, so I recommend you buy only small quantities initially. Try Jojoba or Coconut – whichever is easier for you to get hold of locally.
Hope that helps.

Hi Wittils 
If you do try out the Carrot oil, could you please let us know what it's like?
I just wonder if it is very moisturising and what it smells like. Also if it is greasy/sticky/light etc.
Thanks in advance.

thank you so much uzma! i have medium texture. i have a few more questions about the oils if you don't mind. there are 1. how long should you leave them in? 2. should you shampoo and condion your hair before oiling? 3. do you put your hair up while the oil is in your hair? 4. is it hard to rinse out the oil in the hair? my mom tried vo5 when she was younger and it made her har greasy and hard to get out.

Hi Monica
1. how long should you leave them in? If you are doing a heavy oiling i.e you are saturating the hair with oil, then anywhere from an hour to 24 hours+ is appropriate. Light oilings of the ends can be done a little every day or every other day and be left in until your next scheduled shampoo day.
2. should you shampoo and condion your hair before oiling? Heavy oilings are done before you shampoo your hair. Light oilings are done after shampoo/conditioning on either damp or dry hair. Experiment to see what suitss you best.
3. do you put your hair up while the oil is in your hair? Yes - for a heavy oiling. I either put it into a top-knot or a cover it with a muslin scarf to keep it off my face and neck. Not so for light oilings - I wear my hair loose and the oil is indiscernable.
4. is it hard to rinse out the oil in the hair? my mom tried vo5 when she was younger and it made her har greasy and hard to get out. There are a couple of methods with getting the oil (from a heavy oiling) out of your hair using conventional shampoo. (a) Apply shampoo on dry hair and then add just enough water to work it into the hair and scalp - then rinse off. (b) Apply shampoo as per normal - on wet hair. Rinse and repeat.
I would advise you to use a mild shampoo in order not to strip the scalp's natural oils. However, a moisturising shampoo is not appropriate afetr a heavy oil application as it just won't do the job.
Hope that helps.

Do the heavy oiling on bone dry hair. That way it won't sit on a layer of water, but will be able to directly and deeply moisturize the hair shaft.
And for heavy oiling, use one of the more penetrative hair oils, like coconut.

Very interesting article, Uzi. I've bookmarked it and will read the whole thing another day.
Cyndie, the oil you mention, jojoba, is excellent. IMO if you use only one oil, jojoba is the one to use as your base, all-around, multi-purpose oil. Others here have far more experience with the characteristics of those other oils. One thing to keep in mind is that what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another person; frequently, people who have (essentially) the same hair type have the same or similar results with any given oil (or other haircare product, for that matter).
Okay, enough rambling from me.

SuperGrover: Yep, i oil daily. My hair really seems to soak it up. I shampoo every other day so its not like a week of oiling had been built up on my hair. Anyways, my hair is quite dry from the ears down, and pretty thick(lots of volume, but individual strands are thin.) I think the reason i am able to use so much oil is because my hair is so damaged(from severe health problems). I hear people talking about putting a drop or two of oil and their hair and i'm like- what!? a drop, i use, uh, 10 drops??:)

Cyndie,
I apply it to dry hair, whenever it feels "crispy" or is especially tangle-prone. Since my hair is fine I apply very sparingly to avoid the "lank" look of greasy strands. Anything from a dime-sized "puddle" to a pea-sized drop in the palm of one hand, rub the hands together so there's but a thin film on your hands. Then lightly run your hands over the surface of freshly-detangled hair, then working the fingers into your hair. The process isn't easy to describe but (as seems to be my mantra on hair care and styling techniques), practice makes perfect. Don't worry if it doesn't work well your first try. Initially, I was terrible at it, but I'm starting to get the hang of it now.
Hope this helps!

I went back to using the Vitamin E oil, since I felt it worked better on my hair than the jojoba conditioner. 
Uzma, how do you like the kukui nut oil? I'm interested in using kukui nut or monoi oil, but both seem to be rather expensive.

Date Posted: June 04 2003 at 6:39am
Kukui nut oil is light and odourless. It has a fragility to it - hard to describe.
Anyway, I tried it on my hair and it didn't moisturise as well as the avocado and cocunut oils.
Tried it on my skin and WOW. This is definitely a skin care oil and a keeper.

I finally found the Carrot Oil I was talking about and it sounds interesting.
It has an herbal infusion of purified water, horsetail, stinging nettle, beta carotene, amino acids, vita E amongst a bunch of other ingredients. It claims to be a root stimulator also along with strengthening the hair so it can grow to maximum length. Time will tell if it really aids in strengthening my hair so in turn my hair can grow long...
I like the coconut oil product, it is heavier but smells so good and really softens my hair.
I am using so many different products, some natural plain oils like jojoba, or apricot oil... burt's bees to be exact. It would be hard to tell which does what at this point. But I believe I am getting the benefits from all of them.
But I'm outside most of the time, so I am putting something on my hair all the time. The heat of the sun or my own body warmth aids in the conditioning.
When I am at home it doesn't matter if I'm a grease head. And I really don't care too much if I happen to go out in public, I just put it up in a pile with a clip and go.
But I do know that since I began this treatment, on the days when I leave the oils out, my hair feels SOFT. Lots of shine and body.
It's a fun adventure!

Princessmonica... I use the Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture shampoo and conditioners. I don't oil my hair but once between shampoos, but sometimes I use a couple of products, not just one. And I usually do a treatment of some sort before I shampoo. I haven't had problems with build-up. Except the coconut oil product I use has petrolatum as a base, so I go light with it and use it every so often. I think it could build up on the hair if used too much, but I don't know.
Anyhow, it is a really good shampoo.

Hi Monica
Yes. Using a moisturizing shampoo after a light oiling is fine. And warming the oil is fine too, as long as the oil is not hot – that would damage the hairn shaft.
Hi Wittils
Where did you find the Carrot oil? It does sound interesting. Is it made specifically for hair or is it marketed as a skincare produce? Sorry for all the question – this is one of the oils I have not tried out and I am curious.
I am so pleased you are getting sood results with the oiling treatments. Sounds like your hair is luscious and gorgeously soft now.
I’m off to visit an asian area today (to buy some mangoes, papayas, etc) They sell some Indian hair oils which I haven’t tried out yet, so I’m going to splash out. Actually, they aren’t expensive at all, but I want to get a few different ones and test them out. Will report back in due course.
Take care, lovely ladies

You mentioned that the coconut oil you use has a petrolatum base. That concerned me since mineral oil is not good for either skin or hair. Please see if you can get hold of 100% pure coconut oil. I'm sure your hair would appreciate the difference.

Mineral oil is non-penetrative. It sits on top of the cuticle and prevents other moisturizing ingredients from doing their work as well as they could without it. The skin and hair care industry use petroleum-derivatives as cheap fillers and preservatives. They have nil therapeautic value for skin or hair.

Hi Uzma...
it's called Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil and I found it at our local health store. It's on the web too. Try www.ebonyline.com or just type in the whole name of the product and you will find folks who are selling it and info on it.
It smells medicinal though, but it sounds very nourishing for the hair and I will only know in time.
I'm pretty aware of petrolatum...ugh!!!... yet I am not too worried about that on my hair. Now on my skin that is another matter since everything that goes onto the skin is absorbed into our system. Therefore I have only used the coconut oil butter on the dryest part of my hair, not my scalp, and it has really worked wonders. And it has only been a couple of times. I do love the smell of it!
I will be looking for pure coconut oil, I know it must be wonderful. My little tropical vacation without the flight.
My hair has improved greatly since I began all this oiling and conditioning. I think my family thinks I am fanatic, maybe even obsessed or possessed, but it's great fun to take care of my hair and know it will be the very best it can be as it grows long.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, because I have learned so much.

Hi Wittils,
Glad to hear your hair's condition has improved so much!
Don't worry about what your family members think. We know you're quite alright!

Thanks for the carrot oil info and link, Wittils.
I think plenty of us here have Obsessive-Compulsive Hair Disorder.
You are in good company !!!!
