what treats is your hair having today?

[jojo]

Thought it would be good to post what treats we do for our hair.

Last night I soaked my hair with vatika oil and slept in it overnight, this morning I put loads of asda's cheapo conditioner (cone free) and I am sat here with it still on. will be rinsing it off in an hour or so and finishing with an ACV rinse. I do this at least twice a week and my hair loves it.

What treats are you giving your hair today?

my soapnuts have come so im gonna try them too!

[AJoifulNoise]

Today it gets nothing. Last night I was a bit heavy handed with the coconut oil. Though that was more to make it stay in braids than anything else. I'm still waiting for it to dry so that I can see if it enjoyed the extra oil.

[Pinga]

I just tried the WEN sweet almond oil. Not sure yet if if it agrees with my hair yet, but it does smell nice.

[Magicknthenight]

Well i washed it today. CWC. Lots of vo5. Then burt's bees deep conditioner for like 20 minutes. I kind of want to wear it down for new years eve :D

[lora410]

Last night I gave it some mega-tek (the horse stuff people are experimenting with) although I am not seeing growth from it my hair loves it as a leave in. I also did some aloe vera gel last night and my hair was silky this morning :)

[jojo]

how often do you all treat your hair? for me its normally twice a week. My hair just loves oil

[zen_oven]

Tomorrow morning I plan to try the Ojon my hubby gave me for Christmas. I haven't deep conditioned or anything in a while so I think my hair will appreciate it. According to the instructions I'm supposed to emulsify about a teaspoon of it and work it through my hair until it's saturated. Then I'm supposed to wait 20 minutes, after which I'll CWC like usual. I can't wait to see the results. I will also get to use the microfiber towel hubby gave me--yay!

[Phalaenopsis]

My hair just likes to be washed and then be left alone. Or occasionally some coconut oil, but I don't like the smell after a day. It likes jojoba too, but it quickly gets greasy.

Actually yes, I know a good treat: cold water rinse. Super duper shine, soft and doesn't tangle as much :)

I washed my hair today and keeping it simple does the trick.

[Akiko]

I henna'd two days ago, but did not need indigo. Great! Well, I still did not care for that lingering henna smell. So I did SMT. It smells wonderful now.

Congratulations on your fabulous growth this month, jojo. :flowers:

[Honey39]

I straightened my hair today - so not a treat...

But wow, my hair is SOOOOOO long. I wish I didn't like straightened hair, but I do. It's the first time I've done that for about three months, and my hair feels so long. Curly hair really means that the growth is slow, every two inches shows up as about half an inch!

But on the plus side, I realise my hair doesn't actually look as nice straightened as it does curly. I like the feel of it, because it feels like 'real' long hair, but it doesn't look as nice as it normally does when it dries into ringlets.

So tomorrow will put a deep oil treatment on my hair and ask it to forgive me!

Happy Hogmanay, everyone.

[girlcat36]

I did a heavy olive oil soak two nights ago. I thought washing it out would be a problem, but 2 CO washes were fine. I am committing to doing this once a week--on Monday nights, because I'm off on Tuesdays!
As my hair approaches BSL, it is starting to break. I hope this will help.

[lora410]

I usually apply a lite amount of oil daily. It has been awhile since I did a heavy one.

[jojo]

Congratulations on your fabulous growth this month, jojo. :flowers: thank you:D

[jojo]

yes this is what i do a light oil daily and one or 2 deep oilings a week

[janeytilllie]

Well tonight im going to apply an avocado hair mask mixed with molasses, coconut oil and eggs. My hair loves this weird mixture, then i will wash with my organic shea butter soap and finsh off with an organic ACV. My hair should be well pleased and chuffed :D

[Tapioca]

I'm doing my henna/cassia treatment tomorrow, followed by a deep coconut oiling.

[RocketDog]

Last night I did my twice-weekly honey/conditioner/oil soak, and CO-washed it out. I love how much thicker and healthier my hair feels after using honey for two months - my hair LOVES honey!

[Islandgrrl]

No hair treats today, unless you count keeping it up and out of the wind/rain/snow/cold a treat.

I am picking up a new batch of conditioner this afternoon, though, so it'll get a little leave-in treat tonight.

[Beaglebuddy]

Nothing today. Tomorrow I will do a heavyish olive oil treatment. I do this at least 3 times a week. My resolution/goal for 2009 is to do this at least 3x a week every week for the whole year. This has helped my hair incredibly since I had severe protein overload this summer, my hair actually feels like normal.

[Euphony]

Well the treat my hair is getting today was totally unintentional. Today was wash day, hubby and I took a shower at the same time - he in one bathroom, me in the other. I ended up running out of hot water while rinsing my conditioner out. The conditioner I use is really thick and will not rinse without at least warm water. Me and my hair were getting hit with ice cold water so I gave up. My hair ended up with about half the conditioner rinsed out so I know my hair would be a greasy mess if left alone so I bunned it. So my hair is getting an inadvertent deep conditioning today while it sits in a bun.

[Ohio Sky]

Last night I tried the egg thing, which is going to result in me doing something else tonight to try to woo my hair back from the dark side. :D

I'll probably just do an SMT.

[Aisha25]

Doing henna right now next treat will be a oil bath:D

[plainjanegirl]

My ends were kinda dry and kinky from being in a bun the past couple days for work. So I wet the last half of my hair and put some coconut oil in it. Will probably do the same in the am before putting it up for work.

[RedStripe]

I hennaed a few days ago, and today will be the first wash since then, followed by conditioner and ACV rinse.

[Elphie]

My new L'Occitaine Shea butter shampoo and conditioner. The good news is it makes my hair so soft, it's unbelievable. The bad news is, I can't keep a ponytail holder in my hair, it keeps sliding out.

[jojo]

I tried the soapnuts and wow so far so good. My hair feels so soft and looks so shiny I am impressed!

[Bene]

oh, me and my hair have big plans tonight :)


i always make chili for new year's (strange tradition started with the b/f like 9 years ago), so while it's cooking, me and the hair ooooh-weeeee....

right now, it's saturated in jojoba oil. when i wash, i'm gonna clarify (adding some aloe vera gel to my clarifying shampoo), then do an olive oil hask & henna protein treatment, an ACV rinse, and then some of the mega-tek stuff on my scalp. by midnight, it should be in a damp bun, in a pretty 60th street dymondwood.


good times :)

[Carolyn]

I tried my new Carol's Daughter products today. I used the Lisa's Oil the past 2 nights and I was an oil slick. This morning I used their Rosemary and mint poo and the deep conditioner with "Amen" in it. I left that on an hour or so with a plastic cap. I'm not sure how my hair will feel tonight as it's been up with a Ficcare all day. The scent is great. I just hope there is enough slip in these products to keep my hair from tangling.

[Speckla]

just a do-nothing-to-it day - it's earned some R&R

[venividibxtchy]

Tonight, I am coconut slop girl, at least until my imminent wash.

[eaglefeather71]

I made a scalp oil with Jojoba, grapeseed, a small amount of Tamanu, a small amount of Emu, and EO's (Rosemary, Lavandar, Geranium) and applied/massaged that on my scalp, spritzed my ends and oiled them too. Its now up in a messy bun waiting to be washed and I have some catnip steeping.

[FallenAngel]

Today I'm starting my new hair year. My first on LHC and my first aware attemt to try and grow long hair. Or at least healthy.

I'm goint to start with washing all the glitter from last nights party out of it with a CWC and then I'm going to put Body Shops Amlika leave in balsam in it. Guess that's it.

I'm so new here that I just have to take one thing at the time, and the CWC is where I'm starting.

[Haith]

Today I'm going to spritz it with rosewater, lightly oil with unrefined, organic coconut oil, and then slather my ends in a homemade conditioning cream. It's so cold and dry here today that I just want to give my hair as much moistured as possible.

[LutraLutra]

I'm typing this while my virgin coconut deep oiling sinks in pre-wash. I love them smell of coconut oil sooo darn much, yummy.

[xeternalsilence]

I think I will do a coconut oil soak tonight, really concentrating on my ends, and wash it out in the morning with conditioner only.

I may do a scalp massage with coconut oil and rosemary EO as well.

[Elistariel]

Right now I'm waiting for my orange juice, honey and apple cider vinegar rinse to dry.

I have no clue what this mixture is supposed to do, I just had some old oranges I didn't want to eat and go bored last night and made up a mixture. :D

I'll CWC when it dries.

[jojo]

I am doing no treatments now until wednesday no washing or anything apart from my daily oilings on the ends. It will be bunned until Wednesday too as I will be working.

I need to get some more scissors too so I can do an hour or so of S & ding on Wednesday; looks like I am going to be busy Wednesday!

[neon-dream]

I gave my hair an SMT today, but instead of aloe, i used olive oil and my shine is incredible ^_^!

[ratgirldjh]

my hair loves a thorough soaking with VCO and then being left overnight and steamed with hot towels the following day. after this i just wash with water only for several days (yes i do have oily hair for a few days) but afterwards my hair is thicker, shinier, and requires no washing or anything for at least a few weeks!!! try it - you will be amazed!!! and water does eventually get out the coconut oil - and the rest gets soaked up by your hair.

[NebraskaChick84]

I just got some EVOO so after my shower it's getting oiled.

[girlcat36]

I liked the olive so much, I gave my hair some more today!

[Sissy]

Today I did Queen Helene's Cholesterol Treatment followed by a deep conditioning under the heat cap :p My hair loved it!

[ImperfectBrat]

Today, my hair is having a good deep olive oil soak. Since I don't have to actually do anything outside the house until Monday, my hair is getting treated like crazy

Same here... I'm on holiday as I'm a teacher and I've been doing so many deep treatments for my hair. LOL, when school starts back up I'll be lucky to fit 1 treatment per week in!

[CaityBear]

Tomorrow my hair gets to try out henna! I'm so excited! I've been waiting for quite a while to find time to do it.

[backtolonghair]

I'm gonna do a EVOO hot oil treament today. :) I was on vacation for a week in Fl and swam in a chlorinated pool a couple times...those things are drying on the hair but fun to swim in!:)
Hope everyone had a great holiday!

[Arctic]

I recently bought a moisturizing leave-in and have been experimenting with it. Today I sprayed generously my hair all over, then sprayed a bit of it into my palm, added drop of olive oil, mixed and applied to the ends of my hair. Then bunned.

Just curious as to what the leave in was that you used? Let us know if your hair likes it. I am still on a quest to find some good moisturizing leave ins and also moisturizing deep conditioning treatments.

African Royale Hot Six Oil and then a good shampoo.

Tonight I'm going to do a SMT and leave it in while I soak in the tub for an hour. Then I'm going to follow it with a EVOO that I'll probably leave in through the weekend.

[eaglefeather71]

I couldn't resist...HennaMud was calling me. I finally got all the oil out of my hair, it was looking BEAutiful, but alas...it is now packed in mud.

[squiggyflop]

well today i will be hennaing my roots.. then im going to try out a new conditioner.. its cheapo breck restorative conditioner but who knows my hair might like it.. then ill probably be doing a monistat treatment..

I'm doing a henna gloss with yogurt right now..so i look like my head was attacked by a flock of geese :S

I do love the results of the K-Pak Joico Reconstruct. It was recommended to me by a woman who trims my hair. She is a certified hair stylist although doesn't work in the field. She went to a special stylist only store she has a membership to and the Joico is something they recommended to her. She got me a bottle for like $10 as they get a discount.:o

[Sissy]

seeing all these people doing Friday night treatments has encouraged me to go put some EVOO in my hair and I'll hopefully sleep with it in (with a shower cap on my head of course). Tomorrow I'll wash it out and see how it goes from there.

[shwankie]

My hair treat today was the standard one it gets every day: jojoba oil as a leave-in. My hair loves this.

http://www.drugstore.com/qxp166989_333181_sespider/joico_k_pak/reconstruct_deep_penetrating_reconstructor_for_dam aged_hair.htm

I have the conditioner. A friend got it for me at some special stylist only discount store. However, I know you can purchase it online and I believe I've seen Joico products in some departments stores as well (possibly KMart or pharmacies such as Rite Aide). Also, I'm pretty sure they'd sell it in professional salons which carry Redken, Biolage. I think salon located inside the super center Wal*Mart down the street from me has Joico products and their products are usually less expensive than other salons.

[girlcat36]

Yes olive oil treatment are the bomb!:) They're great!
I think they should be helpful to you.. does your hair have a tendecy to be dry?

Yes, my hair is a dry, fly-away, weightless mess usually.
I did a second EVOO treatment, and tonight I will do another heavy overnight oiling.
I have tried every type of oil, but for some reason I thought EVOO was too heavy for my fine thin hair(which happens to hate coconut oil).

[jeno]

I have discovered that my hair love sweet almond oil! Even more than coconut oil... It's soft and bouncy and with more volume than ever. (I know I should have a picture to prove it, but you have to take my word for it.)

[Alia]

Got a nice, drippy VO5 SMT on right now under a shower cap and knit hat, for that glamour look. :laugh:

[beehives]

Today was a wash day, so I used my Yes To Carrots shampoo and used Mega-Tek Rebuilder as a conditioner. My hair adores this stuff! It looks much less stringy and more voluminous after just two conditionings.

After the wash, I worked two drops of camellia oil through my length and put it back in a claw clip. I'd have to say this is my favorite oil. My hair feels like silk.

Yay for treats!

I did my V05 hot oil treatment for the second week in a row. I think my hair likes it...

[DecafJane]

Jojoba oil! :D
I have put a little bit on the ends and length, and am letting it soak in until I wash it tonight or tomorrow.

[Lady Verity]

A little coconut oil on the ends before I go to work, and, in the shower, some of Lush's Happy Hippie shower gel for scent after washing.

[Arctic]

My hair is having EVOO again! Third time this week, but I can't help it----it works!

I'm glad you like EVOO, it's my number one oil also!

[Arctic]

Yesterday I clarified and did a long deep treatment after that mixing together my KC Professional 4R Moisture deep conditioner, aloe vera gel and a little bit of olive oil (EVOO). It was on (under saran wrap and towel turban) while I watched a movie, then I rinsed with cool water and oiled the ends with EVOO.

[maluszek]

I made a scalp oil with Jojoba, grapeseed, a small amount of Tamanu, a small amount of Emu, and EO's (Rosemary, Lavandar, Geranium) and applied/massaged that on my scalp, spritzed my ends and oiled them too. Its now up in a messy bun waiting to be washed and I have some catnip steeping.

Did you shed after that? I cant rub any oil in my scalp as I shed like mad after that.

Anyway, I'm gonna wash my hair today so I'm oiling the length with camelia oil before I wash it with VO5 Kiwi shampoo, then VO5 moisture soak conditioner with few drops of oil again.

[eaglefeather71]

Anyway, I'm gonna wash my hair today so I'm oiling the length with camelia oil before I wash it with VO5 Kiwi shampoo, then VO5 moisture soak conditioner with few drops of oil again. I shed a bit the first and second time I oiled my scalp, and I shed when I do treatments like SMT and such, but I'm currently working on getting the shedding down to a minimum and the oiling is now helping. I think my technique is getting better, and my scalp is adjusting.

[NebraskaChick84]

my hair is getting a conditioner (v05) EVOO deep treatment today. I started to take a shower, got the conditioner in and the hot water went away. :o what else was I to do but hop out slather EVOO on the length and bun it? :D

I used Giovanni tea tree oil shampoo today. Mmmmm it was devine!

[ReddishRocks]

Great thread!

I just got some hair oil from NightBlooming on Etsy.com (I know she's a member around here somewhere... :D). I tried it out for the first time today - LOVE it! It's very light and smells awesome.

you will love the jasmine oil, the smell is out of this world. I like it best on damp hair, you only need a little to get a good result too.

Let me know how you get on with it.

This morning I combed and brushed my hair and scalp (with my Tangle Teezer), then I misted the length and smoothed on lots of Camelia oil. It's now in a bun until I wash it out tonight. This is a typical Sunday treat for my hair.

[desertrose]

after gently combing....coconut oil :) I looovvee this oil smells so good

[MandaMom2Three]

After washing out the coconut oil from last night with HE degunkify diluted in catnip tea I'll do a 15 minute catnip treatment and a 2 hour moisture/protein treatment :D

[Isa-belle]

The roots were massaged and soaked in castor and avocado oil this morning, and the ends were heavily oiled with coconut oil.
I just shampooed, conditioned, and deep-conditioned. I also realized while my hair was wet and therefore more manageable, that I am just 2 cm (3/4 of an inch) shy of tailbone length :cheese:

[xeternalsilence]

My hair will have a nice olive oil soak later today and then a wash with conditioner only. I'm considering a conditioner soak from ears down while I sleep too :p

My hair LOVES that! :D

[NebraskaChick84]

olive oil :) I'm gonna wait a bit before showering. so it can soak it all up.

I have to agree, dry application makes my hair much happier!

[Jamme]

Wash, condition, ACV rinse and a bit of coconut oil on the lenghts. I'm going to do this for å while and see how my hair likes it.

[Arctic]

I don't know if it's going to be a treat or not, more like experiment really :D I'm going to try soy yogurt today in my hair :wacko:

[logica_divina]

Mayo treatment. I've already applied it (almost an hour ago) and I'm gonna wash (CO) in an hour, followed by a ACV rinse.

[DelynofRhondda]

Letting the chocolate milk mask set. Something in the powdered milk & cocoa paste makes my hair more pliable and glossy. Also works wonders for the face. *lol*

Then it will get a tepid / cold water rinse and (since it's sunny this morning) a sunning in the window to help dry.

[Monsterkitti]

Hair had its daily treat of coconut oil this morning and may get and SMT or a Cassia treatment tonight.

[Arctic]

I don't know if it's going to be a treat or not, more like experiment really :D I'm going to try soy yogurt today in my hair :wacko:


Update: The soy yogurt hair mask was okay, it didn't irritate my scalp and didn't make my hair scrunchy or anything bad. But on the other hand I didn't notice big difference either. Hair was well moisturized, soft and shiny. I might do this again some time if I have some excess soy yogurt :)


As of my hair treat of today, this is my staple: Mixed some AVG with lavender and rosmary EOs and applied into scalp. Leave-in on length.

[FallenAngel]

Trying something new (everything is).

Honey, yoghurt, yolk and olive oil. I'm not sure what I want it to do for my hair, but it smelles nice ;)

Thougth I'd leave it in for 2 hours or so.

[Giggy2]

I'm so sorry I missed your replies. I certainly should've checked back sooner. :o

sounds very cool! Where does one find this product? :)

Mmmmmm these are cool products and I'm a complete product HO, for them :p
They can be purchased at salons and I think if you go to their website it will find salons in your area. I see them at my local drug store (Rite Aid); however, the mark up is incredible. Luckily my friend is a nail tech and I go to the salon store with her. I got a chealating shampoo, regular shampoo and conditioner, K-pak, hair spray :heartbeat and many many brand name items for my daughters x-mas gifts for like $60.00. It was AWESOME! The hairspray is so nice. In a salon the products would've cost me 3-4x more.


I do love the results of the K-Pak Joico Reconstruct. It was recommended to me by a woman who trims my hair. She is a certified hair stylist although doesn't work in the field. She went to a special stylist only store she has a membership to and the Joico is something they recommended to her. She got me a bottle for like $10 as they get a discount.:o


My hair is so soft and shiny after I use the products. I've been using Joico off and on for 20 years. Wow, I can't believe its been around for that long. :rolleyes: Sheesh, I'm getting old. I would never be able to afford the products without my friends discount. Next time I go back I'm buy like 5 bottles of hairspray; then I'm going to hide them from my daughter. It was only $6.00/ea and definitely worth it. If you don't go through it fast, it's worth it to buy even from the salons ;)

[logica_divina]

5 drops castor oil
few drops chamomile EO
on length.

It's soaking til tomorrow.

[Ayanna]

nothing today.
tomorrow maybe something.i was thinking oil treatment

[jel]

Letting the chocolate milk mask set. Something in the powdered milk & cocoa paste makes my hair more pliable and glossy. Also works wonders for the face. *lol*


Yum! I think the inside of my mouth would also like this treat! ;)

Today I hennaed my roots, and treated the length to a long henna gloss with V05 conditioner.

[janeytilllie]

I got a new shampoo bar today :) called Trevarno its a rosemary and lavender with coconut oil in it :D its organic and sls free. So tonight im going to use my virgin cold pressed organic ccoconut oil for a good soak tonight, then im going to use my new shampoo bar in the morning :D

[eaglefeather71]

My DD and I will do Vatika Coconut Hair Oil Heavy Oiling with scalp massages tonight and wash with Indian Herbs tomorrow. Lately, that's all my hair has needed to be incredibly healthy. My DD is at a growth stall so we are really trying to get her hair to grow.

[lahondas]

Last night I did a funky mix, was trying something new to get my hair as shiny as possible!
You all have awesome mixes, I am gonna try everyone of them too!


nettle extract, few drips
chamomile tea whole cup
powdered oatmeal, 1/4 cup
plain yogurt, 1/4 cup
2 tblspn cornsilk
1/4 cup bhringaraj powder
silk protein 2 tsp
1 tsp of lime juice
2 tblspn soyquat and honeyquat

I made this a mask, with heat.
Rinsed and it worked! My hair was super soft and shiny!!!
My ends were real shiny too, I never had such shiny ends? Very interesting, now I am just trying to find out why they were so shiny?
i have never used cornsilk, bhringaraj powder or soy/honey quat, so maybe its those reasons. Has anyone else used these things before?

[~GypsyCurls~]

As I'm typing, I'm doing a coconut milk soak. A whole freakin' can of coconut milk is in my hair right now! This is the first time I've tried coconut milk, I'm using the Whole Foods store brand. I know it doesn't keep for that long once opened, that's why I decided to use the whole can. The worst I've heard about it is that it will make hair greasy, which would even be an improvement because of how dry my hair is right now. I've been doing SMT's and other treats to it, and nothing seems to be giving me the moisture I need.

[xeternalsilence]

My hair is getting it's first SMT tonight.
Modified though - coconut oil instead of aloe, because I don't have any clear aloe gel and can't seem to find it anywhere... and when I ask in stores where to find it, they look at me like I'm stupid :(

[Amara]

and nothing seems to be giving me the moisture I need.

You can have some of my moisture! My hair is freaking out! :)

Tonight after my workout I'm going to try a baking soda rinse and see if that helps.

Otherwise tomorrow I'll go shop for a shampoo I can use to clarify.

[plainjanegirl]

My DD and I will do Vatika Coconut Hair Oil Heavy Oiling with scalp massages tonight and wash with Indian Herbs tomorrow. Lately, that's all my hair has needed to be incredibly healthy. My DD is at a growth stall so we are really trying to get her hair to grow.


What are you doing to try to get your DD's hair to grow?

[sandigirl]

I washed it in the shower after 7 days. I had never gone this long and I won't again. I just wanted to see how long I could go before it got too skeevy for me. 5 days is my limit from now on. I do my very thick/big bangs every day. I just feel so much better when my whole head of hair is fresh and clean.

[eaglefeather71]

What are you doing to try to get your DD's hair to grow?Helping her hair grow is what originally got me in to Indian Herbal Washes and Oiling. We do a scalp massage with the Vatika atleast once a week hopefully moving toward 2 times a week soon, and she is using the Hesh Herb Powders to wash. Her hair is in a chin lenght bob and its Henna/Indigo'd to be Black. Her hair is beautiful, thick and shiny, but it just stopped growing completely the last 5 months or so.

[Moldilocks]

I'm not sure i'll do anything tonight. I didn't wash it until about 4 pm, but it was braided all night and day with a bunch of coconut oil. I think i'll just braid it tonight and try not to wash it tomorrow.

[xeternalsilence]

Scratch that.
I ended up doing a heavy coconut oil soak overnight and CO wash this morning.

I'm doing the SMT Wednesday night instead.

[slz]

Today was my first soapnut shampoo, after reading a few different recipes here, here's what I did :

- shea butter yesterday (lengths)
- 13 soapnuts (26 halves) in something like 250 / 300 ml boiling water. Soak overnight.
- 6 (or so, let's say "a few") drops of tea tree oil (that's for dandruff) mixed in a tiny bit of honey to have it all mix well within the soapnut water

I used something like 1/3 of the whole mixture I think, trying both the foaming and "regular pouring", then followed by ACV rinse.

Had my SO cut the ends that needed leveling : for christmas I cut the ends of my two side braids straight, makes it look quite cute but of course once hair is down it's not even at all, so today was the much needed trimming.

Then, air-drying with hair down, on a walk in the fields with sun and fresh hair : maybe it's only superstition, but I love the feeling and look of my hair when it dries this way.

And last but not least, shea butter again for the ends.

And I asked my SO to take pics right after the trimming - as soon as they're uploaded, I'll post them here, in a new thread. Can't wait to see them cause I think my hair isn't that bad after all - we'll see what you all think.

[melikai]

My hair has been really thirsty lately, so I've been doing treatments using Jojoba cone free conditioner, honey, and walnut oil (which is actually quite nice), heated up and left on for an hour or so. :)

[Ryanne]

My hair is covered in olive oil and up in a turbie towel. I'll leave it for the night.

[ImperfectBrat]

I light oiled last night with olive oil and am considering a almond oil tonight since I don't have to be anywhere untill Monday. I'm just not sure how the two would work together. :confused:

At worst, I will be oily. But maybe I will have lovely tresses !

[.Amanaka.]

My hair is currently enjoying a long coconut oil/aloe soak. I meant to wash my hair last night, but my apartment has no water. So, I soaked it up and I'm going to wash tonight.

Also, question: I'm planning on starting No Poo/BS washes. Do you have to do an ACV rinse, or can you just use conditioner?

Also, question: I'm planning on starting No Poo/BS washes. Do you have to do an ACV rinse, or can you just use conditioner?Most people do an acid rinse after BS but I think it's just because of the no-product ideals. It won't hurt to try. I'm pretty sure most conditioners are a bit acidic. The idea behind it is to close the hair shaft because the BS opens it up.


ETA: My hair got a Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil massage and soak Friday night, Aritha/Shikakai wash 2 times yesterday, and a Castor Oil/Jasmine Oil oil massage and soak with heat last night. I will do another Indian Herb wash today. I normally wouldn't do so much, but I'm so in love with the Scalp Massage with oils that I have been craving it this weekend.

I'm also applying Indigo to my DD's best friend today, she got henna last sunday. All of my teens are henna heads. Their friends parents have been asking what I do to their hair to make it so healthy. I think this could go somewhere...

[pdy2kn6]

i gave myself some olive oil last night, lightly spread across my hair. i am still waiting for some pure coconut oil to be delivered from america....i hope it comes tomorrow because it is wash day tomorrow so i want to use it before that!!! otherwise i will have to wait another 5 days till my next wash. Does anyone know if there is a thread on all the different types of oils and uses? i am sure i saw it months ago, but i can't seem to find it now..i really want to read up on the the different uses all the different oils do so i can order some asap..so far i have cocnut oil (on its way). jojaba oil (which i baught off ebay, which i have to admit i am not too fond of as it makes my hair a bit crunchy). and of course...OLIVE OIL...the easiest thing because my mum always has it by the cooker.

[pdy2kn6]

oh, yeah, forgot to add...im looking for some kind of oil with sun protection qualities in it too. to protect my hair from the enemy called the sun!!! if anyone knows any...

[xeternalsilence]

I think coconut oil does :)

[jojo]

well I did a soapnut wash today and finished with a catnip rinse but I didnt let it soak as long as I normally do as I was going to work but tomorrow I am off and my hair is having an overnight jasmin oil, followed by another soapnut wash and an hours catnip rinse, it really deserves it too for being so trouble free all week!

[Arctic]

I bought new conditioner and leave-in today, fun times!

[Isa-belle]

Just shampooed with a poo bar for the first time. :cheese:

[HotRag]

My hair gets to be protected in a sock.
=> Sock over braid
=> Secure just over nape
=> Fold the whole thing up and secure with two quattro-like home made wavelength pins.

My son said it looked like a snail creeping over the back of my head :rolleyes:

I also recieved the three silk pillow cases I ordered last week, so my hair and face is going to try this tonight. :)

[lahondas]

I don't know if anyone has posted this website before, but I love it for all sorts of things. http://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com
they have clays, salts, oils, herbs, soap bases ect...

Why I mostly like it is because of the zinc oxide, I use for oil paint. There high quality oils, and herbs, and i love the fragrant oils too. Very good stuff here. I love lime oil. And its a new thing I tried for my hair this morning, lime oil betonite clay and soapnut.

[FallenAngel]

Henna. One square Lush Caca Marron, one square Lush Caca Rouge. Left in for about 2,5 hours.

[desertrose]

i am putting on coconut oil as a leave in for tonight :D

[jastark84]

I am doing a major soaking of coconut oil for a few hours then Co'ing, then an SMT after that, and finally when it's still damp after rinsing everything out another light oiling, and bunning until dry. My hair LOVES this combo.

[backtolonghair]

I think I might do another hot olive oil treatment today, after I'm in the snow some!:) It snowed here today! woohoo!:D

[Jamme]

A deep treatment consisting of condish, honey, coconut and almond oil. It'll be interesting to see how my hair reacts to it, as I've never done excatly this kind of treatment before.

[plainjanegirl]

I had to clarify again to get some nasty stuff out of my hair. So then I followed up with a conditioner and left it in for two hours. It's drying now so hopefully my hair will be in much better shape now.

[xeternalsilence]

I just rinsed out my first banana/honey/conditioner mix.
It's still wet, but my hair feels sooooo good! :D

[squiggyflop]

i just slept on my new silk pillowcase.. yay!..

[maunaloa]

I washed my hair with a (mostly) organic shampoo and now I have a deep conditioning treatment on under my shower cap.:p

[rapunzhell13]

Coconut oil is my hair's daily treat. :cloud9:

[xeternalsilence]

My hair had a conditioner wash today and a wee bit of coconut oil as a leave in :)

[JamieLeigh]

Technically, I did this Saturday, but my hair is still enjoying the benefits of it today, so...... ;)

I mixed about 3 Tbsp of honey with 3/4 cup of cone-free Suave conditioner. Applied it to my dry hair, scalp to ends, massaged it in, and let it sit under a plastic cap for 2 hours+. Then I just rinsed out, and Sunday, I got soooooo many compliments at church on the mega-shine. :D I'm happy!! I think I'll do this every so often.

[xkitxgirx]

I'm going to do some sort of treatment to my hair today(it needs it) but there's so many I want to try, I can't decide!!

[AutumnSky]

The treat today is being left utterly alone.... not even brushed since I got up this morning.... just thrown up in a bun and let be.

Tomorrow, it gets a long, langourous henna pack.... planning to settle in and make a spa day of it!

[kdaniels8811]

Earlier this week I did an SMT and today is a catnip tea soak. In a week or so, I need to do a henna gloss, I am seeing almost an inch of roots! Did the last gloss the first of February so I guess it really is growing! YEA!! I will measure soon but promised myself I was not going to since I was getting SO obsessed with my hair length. I am just keeping it up and enjoying my new hair toys - mei fa sticks and 60th street fork. What treats are you doing for your hair? Anyone try anything new?

I just recieved Dairy Whip but washed my hair yesterday so need to wait several days before trying it out. And ordered Meera - Indian herbs for hair washing so will post my results. Anyone else doing anything new?

[LittleOrca]

My hair is getting a CO soak here in a moment. It loooooooves those like I love raspberries :D

[spf4214]

I bought some coconut oil today, so my hair will be getting this on the ends.

[3azza]

Thought it would be good to post what treats we do for our hair.

Last night I soaked my hair with vatika oil and slept in it overnight, this morning I put loads of asda's cheapo conditioner (cone free) and I am sat here with it still on. will be rinsing it off in an hour or so and finishing with an ACV rinse. I do this at least twice a week and my hair loves it.

What treats are you giving your hair today?

my soapnuts have come so im gonna try them too!

I can tell from your sig phto that your treats are working well and your hair is loving it, very shiny and happy hair:D
Actually just right now, my hair is soaked with olive oil and wrapped with a plastic cap and a scarf. It's been like this for an hour, and one more hour to go brfore shampoo and conditioner, that's my weekly treat. Hopefully next week i hope to have time to do the bigger treat, the henna treat, i can't wait, my hair is dull...

[Misha]

This morning my hair is drenched in olive oil (will wash it out in a couple of hours), this really gives a lovely glossy shine. :cool:

[Naava]

Yesterday I dyed my hair with hendigo and today I gave it a deep treatment followed by acv rinse. I'm going to let my hair air dry even though I'm going to a party tonight and usually I blow dry my hair when going out. I'm going to put some jojoba oil in my hair and make several little buns to create nice bun waves to make my hair look a little more special tonight :)

[Carolyn]

I'm doing a long CO soak as I type this :) I used WR Coconut, WF 365 Grapefruit, and Regis OO. I'm expecting nice soft clean hair :D

[sandigirl]

I'm going for more highlights. When they do them they always ultra-condition my hair so it's easier for them to comb out after washing. I know the conditioner is nice but my hair is always so flat when I get out of there.

[Samitra]

I treated my hair/scalp with a scalpmassage in the shower, and then I practiced not touching my hair when letting it air dry :D

[Sissy]

Mine will get a heavy overnight oiling... either coconut or my new Ojon stuff off ebay.

[Finoriel]

Hmm early in the morning my hair had some fresh and possibly cuticle contracting snow :p falling down from a tree... :wink: does that count?

[RoseRedDead]

Today, the ol' Hair gets clarified, CO'd, and then deep-treated with a SMT. Still trying to decide if I want to use a conditioner with protein in it for the CO. Urgh, my hair has been blech-y.

[misskita]

My hair is getting to have it's owner committed to growing it long. No more chopping for me. No more cones. No More harsh treatement. I am so excited.

[xeternalsilence]

Today my hair got some split ends removed with a short S&D mission. I got bored after about 5 minutes, so I put some olive oil my ends since they've been super dry lately and that'll be washed out with conditioner from ears down in the morning. :)

[kimberlily]

I did an SMT this morning.

[feralnature]

I went several days without washing my hair, then soaked it in coconut oil yesterday and then washed and condish last evening and now it is soft and fluffy and shiny! They silvers sparkle too :)

[xeternalsilence]

My hair got clarified today for the first time in a while and then had a nice long conditioner soak. :)

It feels so soft! :p

[stardustbreeze]

Mine went to the salon today, had all of the dead ends cut out, and got really well washed/conditioned with a ton of cones (my hair thrives with cones) and moisture.

[LHGypsyRose]

My hair got wet bunned today:D I went to Wal Mart and bought my hair some Giovanni Vitapro Fusion Leave-in. I went home, let my hair down and gave it a good misting with it's new product and bunned it again:) Happy hair!

Our local walmart sucks cause you can't find giovanni products and stuff like that there. and we have no walgreen's or the like.

[LHGypsyRose]

Our local walmart sucks cause you can't find giovanni products and stuff like that there. and we have no walgreen's or the like.

Oh I know what you mean! I live in a pretty rurual area of Missouri and it is hard to get ahold of anything around here! They just recently started selling Giovanni products at my local Wal-Mart. Before then I either had to drive to the Target (in another town), or buy it online. It was such a hassle:rolleyes:
And whats worse is that I just moved here a few months ago from a town in Tn. that carried everything I needed!

[Angharad]

Today I put some Neem oil in my hair (after making it a little bit wet) and tonight before I go to bed I'm going to wash it with shikakaipowder. My last rinse is with green tea which makes my hair more soft.

I braid my hair before I go to sleep and in the morning when I unbraid it, it feels and looks good.

[xeternalsilence]

I trimmed my hair today using Feye's straight across method.
I completely cut off the bottom layer of my hair. I've been putting it off for way too long. My ends were really crunchy and dry and nothing was helping. My hair feels and looks soooo much better.

I lost about 2 inches, but it was definitely worth it.

Now I'm letting some coconut oil soak in. :)

[AutumnSky]

It's heavily oiled and up in a bun right now...waiting to be washed after housework and groceries.
....it was good at the salon the other day, so now it gets a lolly. ;-p

[maria_tasha]

Now my hair is in for a treat. i'm trying for the first time senna(casia) and fengreek on him. Im'm still with the mix in my hair and i'm hopping that it will look and feel fantastic.:cheese::cheese:

[RoseRedDead]

My hair got CO'd with Suave Tropical Coconut and is now under plastic wrap and a knock-off Turbie Twist, smothered in a SMT made with Sally's Biolage knock-off and old-formulation Suave Juicy Apple conditioner.

:cheese:

[xeternalsilence]

Henna for the first time. :)

[RedStripe]

Wah, my hair and I missed today's treat. I was going to do my roots, but I forgot to take my henna paste out of the freezer. :(

[hennaphile]

monostat :pumpkin:

and a clip that's like a bun cage.

[RoseRedDead]

My hair got clarified with some Suave Hair Vibe Berry Shampoo (old product), and it is now being subjecte- uh, I mean, treated, with a SMT with olive oil. Never tried adding the oil before, so I'm gonna see how it works.

[rose_in_bloom]

My hair's treat today is being left unwashed. :) I'm trying to just leave it alone.

[Arctic]

a special treat: sebum :D

[Guinevere]

An ACV Treat again! I love ACV.. :love:

[SleepySin]

More coconut oil and catnip later. So yummy for my tummy.. err, I mean, hair :happydance:

[Flynn]

Do you consider ultra-slow drying a treat? I had to braid it while it was still quite wet, and, although it means it won't dry completely until sometime tomorrow morning, it leaves it feeling so lovely...

[Arctic]

Yes, many members here bun their hair when it's damp, it's called (surprise!) damp bunning. I think the braid offers almost all the same benefits than bun.

All hairtypes/scalps/persons don't enjoy damp bunning, but since your hair likes them, I'd count it as a treat :).

[Arctic]

I'm going to try my first SMT today!

[Heavenly Locks]

I'm going to try my first SMT today!

ME too! I have my head wrapped in cling film as I type. :)

[morguebabe]

BF and I are SMTing.

O.O How heavy must that be...?

[AprilElf]

SMT! - for the first time in too long a time. ;)
I've been looking forward to having the time to do it all week.
Ahhhh ... *contented sigh*

[Holly9192]

I did an smt last night and a catnip tea soak this morn

[elina333]

I just bought my first jar of coconut oil :D So Im gonna browse through the forums and see how best to use it ;) Yeeeey Im excited! :D

[Bunnyhare]

i just read the OP and at first glance i thought it said vodka oil..hmmm, that's one i never heard of! HEEEHEEEH

[LadyVictoria]

Today is wash day so ridding my scalp of the super greasiness will be a treat in and of itself. Of course I will apply a nice coat of coconut oil & let it sit while I watch American Idol before I CWC.

[Red_Head_Reader]

Put some coconut oil in last night, washed it this morning, then put a little more coconut oil and lots of conditioner in, let that sit for a few hours, then I rinsed it out a lttle while ago :)

[chargersfan]

I did my very first SMT this morning. I wish I had the time to do this all the time, I'm loving it!

[*Rose Red*]

Tonight my hair is just getting some coconut oil as a leave-in.

[HildeMV]

I just splurged on lush products. :p And my quecraft order should be here any day now!

[BelleBot]

My hair had coconut oil in all last night and today. I've topped it up this evening with olive oil, avocado oil, more coconut oil, conditioner, honey, lemon juice and castor oil.
It's been either braided or in an updo to help protect it.

Just debating whether to add more before I go to bed and sleep in it, or wash it out.

[jojo]

Well i just brought some umberto giannini overnight beauty moisture balm, its supposed to be put on dry hair overnight, but I couldnt be bothered to wait for it to dry, so its on my wet hair and smells devine!

[Sammich]

An SMT (I have it every wash) with no aloe, and I kept it up almost all day if that counts! :D I also oiled it heavily before wash with sweet almond/coconut and then added coconut after my wash.
I also put the hard to get coconut into a open face jar... thank god it's easier now. @_@

[Holly9192]

Yesterday, I tried this Henna n' Placenta from Sally's. It came in a little packet and actually smelled really good. (I've been contemplating it a while but the placenta put me off...the smell still disturbs me cause it smells really good)

[dmitri]

I did my first real hair treat today. I'm not sure how it turned out yet, since it's still wet. But this is what I did:

I shampooed my hair like normal, and then dried it some with a towel. Then I put a blob of aloe vera gel mixed with a bit of extra virgin olive oil all over my hair and let it sit for an hour. I got in the shower again and rinsed all the goop out. I finished with an ACV rinse (1 TB vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 drop rosemary EO), which I let sit for a minute and rinsed out.

I hope it looks good when it dries! It sure smells good though.

Also, another treat: my bohn comb arrived today! (black hand pic from hairsense) No more seams for my poor hair!

--D

[loralie]

honey, olive oil, almond oil and conditioner mix :D

[Shermie Girl]

It's slurping on some coconut oil, right now. :D

[elina333]

Im drinking a glass of milk with molasses which I've heard is supposed to be good for your hair. Im also gonna give it a heavy coconut oiling later today after my workout and before my schampoo... :D

[Svenja]

Loads of coconut oil before I go to bed and before my morning washing.

[ChrissieM]

My hair has been slathered in an SMT for the past hour. I'll rinse soon and put a little olive oil in it when it's mostly dry. Bliss..... :)

[Qadupae]

My usual vitamins and poo bar with air drying only, but today I used a lot less hairspray on my bangs and I also am wearing my snood loose so that my hair has more circulation. I am even thinking of a little olive oil on the ends before bed as a test to see what my hair does with it, but that's still questionable ^_^

[*Rose Red*]

I planned for today:
a shampoo wash with Sante Henna Volume Shampoo
Sante Brilliant Care conditioner
perhaps a little bit of jojoba oil as leave-in
I let it air dry.

[clairenewcastle]

A catnip rinse is all my hair ever needs now.
I find it's the best treat my hair could have!:inlove:

[morguebabe]

LOL, the opposite of a treatment... I'm bleaching strips again to add fun colors...and then dying my roots. So tomorrow it gets a treatment.

[countryhopper]

I just did my first olive oil treatment. Then I found a blend of oils (has jojoba, coconut, sunflower, sesame, etc, plus essential oils like lavender in it), and I put a few drops of that on, too. I combed it through carefully with my wooden comb (was I suppossed to comb it? I hope so!). So far it's been on more than an hour. I'm going to try to let it sit another hour or so.

We'lll see how my head likes it!
