Oil Rinsing on Natural Hair



Oil rinsing? What are the benefits? Have you tried it yet? Read on to learn how I use this method in my healthy hair care regimen.

Oils can be beneficial to your tresses. When it comes to oil rinsing it serves a three fold purpose in my hair regimen. It helps with single strand knots, frizz as well as a growth aide on my low porosity hair. 

First, I tried coconut oil as a rinse because it penetrates quickly into the scalp. My hair responded well leaving bouncy, curly defined hair. Light in consistency it goes on smoothly with a little going a long way. This was one of my most dependable oils during my first months returning to my natural hair.

Next, up was grape seed oil. Quickly rising to the top of my list of oils for its ability to leave my hair full of lustrous shine. This oil also penetrates the hair shaft quickly. This one right here bumped my once most trusted of all oils...Castor Oil.

Next, was mustard oil. I fell madly in love with this oil. It worked well to give definition , bounce , shine....but more importantly growth. This is my most used growth aide for healthy hair growth. Once I brought this baby on board to my regular healthy hair care regimen arm pit length was reached within one year of transitioning back to my natural hair. A big game changer for me!!!

Here is a video that shows the process step by step
