When do you oil your hair?

[Nymphe]

I use oil when I detangle, wet or dry. Castor oil has worked better than any conditioner I have ever used to work out knots.

More often than not, I will now use a bit of olive oil or jojoba oil and mix it with a tiny bit of leave in to rub through my hair after a shower or when it is wet. It really helps my hair with moisture retention and tames down the frizz. I used to do it on my dry hair more, and still do occasionally when detangling, but besides detangling I find there is more benefit for my hair using oil when damp instead.

I oil my hair when dry the night before I wash it. I never tried it wet though. Maybe a new experiment to try in the future?

When damp, before shampooing.

I oil my hair half an hour to an hour before shampooing when I use oils that are “heavier” on my (fine) hair. With a lightweight oil, I put it on my ends before brushing or over braids. I always put oil on my ends before going outside when it’s cold.

Both wet AND dry on the same wash day

I put a tiny amount of oil every night before breading, that way they are all silky and shiny the next day. I put a bigger amount of oil every 15 days before shampooing : one oil for the scalp, and another one for the lengths

I rarely oil my hair anymore. I suspect it, and some of my harsher shampoos, were stripping my henna. Now I only oil the ends after washing. And I switched to a color-safe shampoo and conditioner.

I voted: when dry
