I usually oil it when my hair is damp, then I might leave it in a bun to dry. If not, I add Aloe Vera gel and scrunch. :)

Handsclean, how do you distribute the oil through your hair when it is damp? Do you comb it through? Finger-comb it through? Scrunch it in? Another way?

Do you oil your hair? If so, how and when do you do it (and how often)?
Yes I do oil my hair, I do it wet and dry whenever I feel it needs it.

What kind of oil do you use?
I use mostly Jojoba, Olive, and Tea Tree Oil.

Do you oil your hair when it is wet or dry?
Both!

How do you distribute the oil through your hair?
I start at the ends and just rub in all over. If I need it on my top part I will actually put drops from the bottle onto my hair and then rub it in.

What are the results of oiling that you like?
I like how it makes my hair softer and tames the frizziness.

1) I oil my hair before and after washing.

2) I like avocado oil but I didn't go back to it because its a little pricey. Before washing I use coconut, olive or mustard oil. After washing I use olive or Vatika oil.

3) I oil my hair dry before washing and damp after washing.

4) I divide my hair into sections and then rake a little bit of oil through each section. When I am done with all sections, I scrunch all the hair together, flip upside down and scrunch again. Don't touch it AT ALL and dry with a diffuser on low/warm setting.

5) It does help with the frizziness but I am still in search of something more. It helps with sheen and dryness also. Over-oiling may back fire.

1.) After washing my hair, which I do maybe twice a week.

2.) Sweet almond, although my hair also likes olive oil.

3.) Halfway dried after a wash.

4.) I rub a SMALL amount of oil between my palms, then smooth my hands over my ends. I never go higher than my ears.

5.) Smoother, stronger ends; less frizz; fewer splits.

I oil my hair about once or twice a week, usually on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd day after washing.
Occasionally I do a deep oil treatment.

It defines my curls keeping them shiny and smooth. It's the best method I found to substitute for my coney serums (I'm no cones now).
