How to use oil and how to get it off when you used too much

Oct 10, 2014 14:57

I have super-low porosity hair and last night I put the 1/4 teaspoon of castor oil in my 1/2 cup of 1:2 acv-water mixture, shook, and then put on my hair, and left in. It was too much and now my hair is a total greaseball. It's oily and I brush and brush but it doesn't really untangle. HOW DO I GET IT OUT ( Read more... )

i would just use shampoo this time and start over next time you shower.

why do you want to use oil if your hair is already greasy naturally? (not criticising, just curious.)

back when i experimented with castor oil, i put only one or two drops in, but i have drastically different hair than you do.

if i remember correctly, i experimented two ways. one, i shook up in my rinse bottle, and the other way, i just smoothed it on with my fingers. i don't remember which way worked better. it's probably in here somewhere.

Why i added oil to my oily hair gatorgirl7563 October 13 2014, 18:40:18 UTC

The recipes I looked at and liked had them. They talked about essential oils more like medicine-type ingredients ('rosemary is great for an oily scalp!') and less like oily oils. Besides, I had never actually seen or used an essential oil by itself before and didn't know oil meant 'oil' and wasn't just a term used to describe concentrated herb juice, like aloe vera juice. I mean really, how do you get oil from rosemary? Olives are a fruit, so of course you could get juice/oil out of it, but rosemary is a shrub-plant-herb-thing.

essential oils act different from nut and fruit oils. they're lighter (smaller molecules) and don't sit on the hair like fruit/nut oils do ( ... )

I didn't think of no poo that way "essentially encouraging your scalp to progressively produce fewer and fewer oils so you don't have to use so many products", not when it came to researching recipes. I knew it in the back of my mind, but forgot to apply that knowledge ( ... )

One thing I do recommend for future oil oops!-ers or deep conditioners is to let whatever natural cleaner you use sit in your hair for 15 minutes. Not *about* 15 min, or *around* 15 min, but actually 15 minutes ( ... )
