Rinse-out oil (ROO) / Oil Rinse

[CastaDiva]

Aw, that's too bad! What shampoo/conditioner of the line are you using?

The one with camellia and argan oil. I have the shampoo, mask and conditioner. I believe there is an oil as well, but I couldn't find it in the store.

Good luck, Arctic

Thank you!

Might be too moisturizing together with the oil rinse? I'm just thinking out loud.

Yes, possibly too much moisture. I'm going to dig out some protein products and see if that resolves the problem. I will use the Garnier shampoo only as a clarifying shampoo as it does feel as if it is drying out my hair too much to use as an *everyday* shampoo. I have never experienced dry hair from the weekly overnight evoo-soaks I have done for years and I have also used moisture products for years, so I'm confused. The dryness started whith the Garnier products so they are still suspect #1

Yes! and Madora also swears by mineral oil. Going to try this today, thanks to sourgrl's suggestion on a different thread. Hope it works!!

Wishing you lots of luck LCT! Some of us have had to tweak the method here or there (use and rinse before condish or use under condish) but the results have been pretty good for most. Hope it's successful for you too

Oh heeey, nice to see you here. Hope it works. Try a tiny amount for starters, though. Just 5 to 10 drops. Then see if you can build from there. 10 is ideal for me (for half the lengths), and 15 is a little too smooth (not greasy yet, but only just).

Thank you for all your support! Well, before I left to swim laps today, I used about a dime size amount of baby oil and also a dime sized amount of EVOO and brushed that gently through the length of my hair with my wooden pin brush. I usually brush out my curly hair as it dries and do a lwb so I didn't have many tangles to deal with. And I put my silicone cap on yadda yadda yadda, swam my laps, used my diluted Kirkland shampoo and conditioner and guess what??? What??? Oh, I will tell you.... I barely had any tangles!! Just a few, but my hair was so much easier to detangle! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE PATIENTLY ADVISED ME TO DO THIS!! Especially sourgrl and Lapushka and Madora!! Now, I am hoping I can match gossamer's length! On my way! Thanks again!

Actually the rinse-out oil method goes on *after* your wash and before conditioner.

Oh!! Ok!! I will try that next, but I already have five items to carry into the lockeroom showers so I need to grow a 3rd hand to carry the bottle of oils! LOL! Gotta figure out a way to do this! Thanks again Lapushka!
