1. heat the correct amount of oil on the stove top until it barely starts to boil. transfer to a coffee cup. take into bathroom & set it on the counter within reaching distance from the shower, or make suitable arrangements.

2. shampoo hair & rinse w/hot water, towel off but leave the hair moist.

3.dip 4 fingers into cup of oil & glaze your hands & apply to the ends first, working in steps, more glazing the hands & working to within 3 inches of your scalp.( you don't need any oil near the scalp since your natural sebaceous oils will take care of your scalp & the first 3 inches of your hair)

4.put all your hair into a shower cap & let it sit for 5-10 min. take off cap & let your hair cool for the same amount of time you had it in the bag.

5. shampoo out once only! no need to condition. yes, your hair will still have a slightly oily feel for the next day, mabye two, but its okay, its very important that you don't over shampoo(frequency) your hair. you could strip away the essential vitamins that the hair is still soaking up. you might want to sleep with a shower cap the first night or use an old pillow. continue with daily shampoo & conditioning the next day. make sure to use a Nexxus shampoo (Botanoil is designed for curly-nappy hair), they are one of the last companys to still keep the ph level sustained @ 4.5-5.5. stay away from ANYTHING using the words "all-natural/botanicals/natural extracts,essences" as they will ALL leave a residue that is too acidic for the hair/scalp, that will eventually dry your scalp & hair even more. if you can find a representative from the japanese beauty company "NOEVIR", get thier shampoo & conditioner..best in the world! 

 

I wet my hair first and towel dry it as much as possible.  Then I split my hair into 4 sections and ponytail them while I work on one section at a time.  I'll rub the oil into my hands and then sandwich the hair with my hands and slide them down the hair shaft a few times.  I'll get more oil and rub through my fingers and finger comb my hair until it's evenly coated. 

 

That's how I do mine.  What kind of oil are you using? 

 

Ok, just wanted to clarify.  For daily oiling you don't need very much oil at all, a few drops.  Also, many people just apply it to the last few inches.  For deep conditioning you need alot more and it's necessary to wash it out afterwards.

 

Unfortunately, my hair never responded well to daily oiling.  It gets crunchy and nasty feeling.

Once a month, I do a heavy over night oiling with coconut oil. I have had amazing results with that.
