Reply With QuoteI do it both ways depending on when I remember to do it. If I do it wet, I usually use less oil and add a 2 drops more when it is dry. This seems to be what my hair likes. I use Jojoba BTW.
Do you oil dry or wet?
I'm talking after washing. I definitely prefer to oil on dry hair. When I oil my hair when still wet, it comes out stringy and oily. The same amount of oil on my dry hair just soaks in moisturizes nicely. Why the heck is that, anyway? I guess the water keeps the oil from penetrating the hair?

I'm experimenting with camilla oil now, so far I like it a lot, especially on my face!
I personally like using oil on both dry and wet hair. The night before wash day I oil my hair heavily, it seems to work the best for me.
I prefer to oil dry hair. I always manage to over oil if I do it on wet or damp hair.
If it is after washing, I let my hair dry to a certain extent and oil while "damp."
Oiling while wet or dry ends up causing problems for me.
That being said, I do oil dry between COs.
I use Coconut, Jojoba, Rosemary and Tea Tree oils depending on how my hair feels/my mood.

I experimented for a couple of months oiling only on dry hair. This caused my hair to dry out quite badly since the oil kept it from being moisturized. Since then, I have only oiled on very damp hair and it seems to work much better for me.
I usually use camellia oil on wet or damp hair. It seems to spread out better. When I dry oil it tends to stick more in some places than others and my hair looks greasy.
Same here, applied on dry hair. I tried it on misted before, and oh bah did my hair hate that. It became all dry and icky feeling.Originally Posted by forgetmenotak
After washing I don't oil anymore. I only oil on other times when I feel the ends are dry. Considering I mist a great deal, it cannot be moisture, and it works great. Next day no more dry ends.
On the occasion that my hair really needs it, I'll oil when dry. However, even the slightest amount of oil otherwise makes my hair look.. well, bad.
