Question to daily oilers?

[morguebabe]

Are the ones who oil daily also daily washers? I washed my hair yesterday and put a touch of jojoba on the ends, and I was just wondering if you would typically put oil on the length on non wash days?

[magpielaura]

I put a tiny bit on the ends most days, and only wash twice a week. If I apply a tiny amout of oil it seems to vanish overnight, and nearer wash day if the ends are getting oiler the roots don't look so bad in comparison!

[catfish]

Nope. I oil the ends and length every day but only shampoo once a week. My hair does get wet every time I bathe though. I use just a few drops of oil, so it does not get too oily, plus I'm pretty dry by nature.;)

[mira-chan]

I oil almost daily and wash once a week or so. Oiliness disappears overnight.

[MandaMom2Three]

Hard to say as I usually CO every day, every other day tops. But I do brush 2 drops of oil into my damp hair after each time. My hair is very thin and fine and one drop of oil can make the difference between nice hair and greasy mess, so I don't think I would space my washing very far apart if I wanted to oil everyday.

[Anne~]

I wash once a week. I oil every day ever so lightly all over or where ever I think it needs it. I oil heavy the day I am going to wash. I use Jojoba oil my hair loves it!

[Johanna64]

I oil everyday,my hair loves coconut oil.
My curls are a bit dry and the oil disappears fast.
I wash my hair three times a week :)

[Peter]

I oil my hair every couple of days and wash it 2 times/week. I use a few drops on each side of my hair, concentrating on the ends.

[xrosiex]

I CWC everyother day. And I oil my ends at least once everyday. Sometimes twice morning and night.

[lora410]

I wash daily,oil from my ears down, and then smooth my scalp hair. But when I didn't wash daily I still oiled from ears down.

[CaityBear]

I usually apply a little coconut oil to my length after showers. If I find my hair a bit dry or something in between washes, I apply a little oil as well.

[Elphie]

I wash 3 times a week and I oil it after showers as well and the evening before a wash.

[morguebabe]

So do you think I'd be able to switch oils? Like coconut one day, jojoba one day, monoi one day, I mean not that extream but like I don't want to use ONE oil.

[MandaMom2Three]

I use different oils a lot

[GibsonGirlV]

There's certainly nothing wrong with trying different oils. with experimentation you'll find the ones that work best for your hair.

I wash my hair twice a week on average and put a tiny bit of oil on the ends after I shower when the hair is semi-dry as well as whenever it seems a little dry at the ends. My favourite at the moment is coconut oil because it soaks right in and leaves my hair silky smooth.

[SweetPea88]

I think that sounds perfectly fine. As long as you don't over do it and make your hair overly oily, you shouldn't have to wash frequently.

When I'm being good I like to use coconut oil on my ends daily, but just a tad!

[mimi1153]

I either oil or use a moisture (rehydration) therapy every night, usually alternating. I only wash once a week unless I do something to make it yucky in-between. The oil doesn't build up on mine either, it's gone by morning.

[DragonLady]

I shampoo once a week, and apply oil everyday. I also have a little spray bottle that I fill with a small amount of conditioner diluted with tap water. I usually spray it right on the ends a couple of times a day. It's helped a LOT with keeping my ends from feeling crunchy and nasty.

[Jessikinz]

I oil every day, or well I try to. My wash days are only once or twice a week, depending on the condition of my hair. Before I put my hair up or braid it for the day, I put a tiny bit of coconut oil on my ends. Sometimes the length too if it needs it. Just try whatever works for you, and what your hair likes.

[Tangles]

I use oil on damp hair only. Sometimes I use shea butter on dry hair however.

I wash my hair frequently, every 2 or 3 days.

[sahiba]

I use few drops on the whole length everyday .Main purpose is to avoid tangles and hair breakage.

How much oil do you use?

Me too. I currently have 5types of oil.

[jojo]

I lightly oil the last inch of my hair daily and wash my hair twice a week, after washing i apply oil from the ears down. My hair does not look greasy from doing this, but then i do have my hair in a bun everyday so the ends are out of sight. I have been doing this routine for about a months now and have noticed a huge difference in my hairs condition.

How much oil do you use?


I use 2 drops of Camellia oil on the length and about the same or a little bit more on the scalp of my sesame/ EO mix. In the summer I use more of the the coconut oil on the length. I sleep with my hair braided and the oiliness is gone by morning I just have soft hair. On the scalp the oiliness starts to stay after about 4 days of this, on the length it doesn't stay after a night unless I literally dip my ends in the coconut oil.

[Periwinkle]

I oil when my hair is wet and sometimes during the week without washing. It just makes my hair more manageable.

I know i've read on here that Oil doesn't actually moisturize the hair, it just creates the look of moisture. What it does is seal in moisture, right? God, i'm clueless sometimes.
I usually wash every 2 - 3 days and apply oil after I condition when my hair is still damp.. i'm wondering though, I'm going to be washing again tomorrow, is there anything I need to do to my hair tonight (like somehow condition again?) if I want to oil again overnight? :o

Yes it does seal in moisture if you oil wet/ damp hair.

Disclaimer of sorts: My hair doesn't like water type moisture so it oiling to seal in moisture doesn't work for me.

When I oil overnight, I apply oil in dry hair, no pre moisture or anything. You can try that, if that doesn't work, try misting your hair before oiling.

[GlassEyes]

Yep, I oil everyday and CO everyday as well.

[LutraLutra]

I wash every other evening and use shea in the ends of my damp hair every time I wash. By morning my hair has soaked up the shea leaving my ends much softer and more flexible. I don't have a problem with build-up of shea.

[longhairedfairy]

I wash and oil most days.
