Reply #3 - Nov 2^nd, 2003 at 1:17pm Essential oils are too expansive and too much fragranced to use a big amount of them. It is better to mix some drops of essential oils with another oil like jojoba (which works fantastic on my hair).

You can find it at a health food grocery store like Wild Oats. It's got a almond oil basis with rosemary oil added; smells nice and absorbs faster than other oils I've tried.

Hi Bonnie,

There are many ways to oil hair. If you are going to use oil as a leave-in, you can smooth a bit onto your length while it's dry. For a deep oiling treatment you can oil your length a bit heavily (but not too heavily because you only need as much oil as your hair will absorb). I like to massage oil into my scalp too, it helps with dry scalp and also gets a scalp massage in. Then you can leave it in for a bit and wash it out or wash it out straight afterwards.

Bonnie;
When I oil my hair, I put a small amount of oil in the palm of my hand, then rub my hands together. I then run my hands down the length of my hair, concentrating on the ends.

I do this with a very small amount of oil for the daytime to help control static and flyaway hair. At night I will use more oil before braiding my hair, by morining the oil will be completely absorbed and my hair is soft and easy to manage.
