Re: Experiments: Pass or Fail
Interesting!!
Oat water for hair cleansing- fail, hair has been super greasy all day. But my scalp was just inflamed yesterday and happy today. Will try oat water again as a rinse post washing as my hair feels very soft but I’m not sure if that’s from the greasiness or the oat water or a mix.

Oat water as a final rinse, let it sit for 15 minutes, rinse it out- pass. My hair detangled so easy. It dried feeling stronger, softer, and overall great.

Re: Experiments: Pass or Fail
So, over the past month my weekly washes have been:
Wk 1 - Senna/amla/slippery elm tea
Wk 2 - plain FRW
Wk 3 - repeat of the Senna/amla/slippery elm tea
Wk 4 - FRW with orange rind & rosemary
My hair feels cleaner than with the WO washes, and is definitely more shiny and beautifully soft after the FRW washes (the senna tea is a bit drying.) I’m planning to keep this routine up for a bit longer, but try a bit of oiling, since my hair can feel a bit stripped and I don’t seem to be producing enough sebum to compensate for the washes. I’ve recently picked up 3 small oil bottles - jojoba, camellia & an amla blend. Let’s see how that goes!

Re: Experiments: Pass or Fail
I have experimented with different oils as a prewash treatment, using the following method:
1. Warm oil in bowl, resting in warm water
2. Apply oil to hair - cover every strand
3. Wear plastic shower cap for 1h
4. Wash using usual shampoo conditioner
5. Air dry.
Using the above method I found:
-Coconut oil. This is my favourite. Hair feels noticeably much softer. = PASS
-Olive oil. Did not finish. Scalp felt very itchy after only a few minutes of treatment. Had to wash out immediately. Perhaps I'm sensitive to it = FAIL
-Sunflower oil. Oil did not penetrate hair shaft. No change compared to normal = FAIL
-Grapeseed oil. Oil did not penetrate hair shaft again. Suprised me, because a lot of youtubers say it works really well for them. = FAIL
-Avocado oil. Oil penetrated hair shaft. Hair was soft and nourished. Not as strong as coconut though = PASS
-Avocado/coconut oil mixture. Everything feeling pretty soft and nice. = PASS

Re: Experiments: Pass or Fail
Here's a diy whipped avocado, honey and olive oil mask I've definitely got to try out sometime before wash day. I think it would be great for this cold weather
