I was a hardcore believer in the LOC LCO method but I excluded oils from a twist out I did a few months ago and I loved the results. I'd alternate between the LOC LCO method and not adding oils when doing my twist outs to see what works best for me and my hair... lately I cleanse my hair, condition and deep condition my hair, once that's done I then use a leave in and go to either a cream/butter or gel to styler.. the only time I use oils now is when I'm taking down my twists or breaking the gel cast after doing a wash-n-go (which I haven't mastered as of yet, but practice is key)... I do pre-poo my hair before cleansing and I use a mixture of leave in condition, aloe vera juice and then coconut oil with water to add moisture before cleansing and this works for me. p.s. I weighed the pros and cons for co-washing and rather than shampooing I co-washed this weekend and followed through with conditioning and deep conditioning before styling and my hair felt amazing... thanks for the advice :-)

Sans Nom I kind of have a stash so I rotate my products, and I mostly buy from small businesses online rather than grabbing stuff on the ground from big box stores. I wash my hair weekly, and shampoo and deep condition every week. With all that said, my favorite cleansers are by Product Junkie Naturals. The hibiscus whipped shampoo, curl clarity shampoo, and rice water activated cleanser are probably my top three. They all do a great job cleansing my hair, but I can also detangle with them, they rinse out cleanly (no oil or residue left behind) and they also leave my hair really hydrated and plump. I have gone through many bottles of the curl clarity especially, and have a liter size. It's my #1 cleanser. Though honestly, they are super slow to ship products out and can be slow to respond via email too. Because I always have other products on hand, their products work so well for me, and because they have great sales it's worth it for me to repurchase, but I do hesitate to recommend them sometimes because they clearly don't have a team big enough for the traffic they get for their sales. I think It's usually just the founder doing everything which can be frustrating for anyone, but especially if you're not used to ordering online and waiting awhile. Another line I love for cleansers is Novaa Naturals. The papaya hydrating collection is my favorite way to gently clarify my hair while keeping it hydrated, and while I can't detangle with it (it's not as slippery as other favorite shampoos) it stays in my shower just in case another shampoo I try just doesn't cut it or I need more clean. The Drip n Curls ultimate moisture shampoo by Novaa Naturals is amazing, too. I can detangle with it, leaves my hair hydrated, moisturized and clean, it smells good etc. It checks all my boxes. I love it. It doesn't last me as long as the papaya hydrating one but they also have great sales so it's more than worth it. If you like to buy things in person, the Miche Beauty cleansed shampoo might work for you. I've only tried it once so I can't say it's a staple, but it did have a nice rich lather that I could mostly detangle with, left my hair nice and clean without being too dry and a little went a long way. I have a 2 oz sample bottle and probably have another 3 uses, it also smells good. For deep conditioners, I also love product junkie naturals and Novaa Naturals. Probably my top 2 again. I also have been loving She Scent It deep conditioners but they're newer to me. For something on the ground, I like Obia Naturals deep conditioners. They aren't "I can't be without them" level, but whenever I do buy them they work consistently and penetrate well. For leave ins I again love the brands I've already mentioned: the snap back curls and maximum moisture leave ins by Product Junkie Naturals, the Drip n Curls leave in by Novaa Naturals, and this is where Obia Naturals really shines to me: the curl moisture cream is amazing, the sweet almond heavy cream and twist whip butter are all incredible leave-in/cream stylers that are rich and super moisturizing but also pH balanced and penetrates my low porosity hair like a dream. Obia naturals can be found at Target, but they have great sales on their own site so I always stock up then. I've also been loving the Melanin Haircare leave-in. I'm mostly a wash n go person so I have a couple of holy grail gels, and a number of cream stylers and some other stuff, but I think those are the core products. I hope that helps.

Also deep conditioning every wash is a must for me, I recently got a heated deep conditioning cap from Pydana that helps with penetration. Good luck!

Hope you made Sephora. 😊 I Googled this topic and was so happy to find you. I've stopped using oils and wanted more info. Got some nice tips from your video. Thanks.

I love your hair so much I’m obsessed 😩😍

I love your hair 🖤

Yeah same. I don't use silicone in any of my products and I only use lightweight stand alone oils when I want to scrunch out the cast of a heavy gel. I shampoo my hair every week (I have a variety of clarifying, hydrating, and emollient shampoos that I can even detangle with) and really focus on hydrating, penetrating products. I made these changes over the course of a couple of years a while back, and since then my hair has flourished. There are enough oils formulated in products that I don't need to add extra, and my low porosity hair does a fine job sealing itself. I think many people conflate oil with moisture without really understanding the role of hydration, emollience and occlusives and balancing what their own hair likes. I also am wary of heavy, buttery products, but it took a lot of trial and error to get there. I'm glad to see you put this out there so that people realize it's an option for them that they may want to try.

My acne prone sensitive skin does not like oils and butters so I don’t use them for reasons other than what you stated. I would’ve loved to hear specially the stylers you used for this wash & go. I’m happy with my current routine, it works and no more breakouts along my hairline. I see so many influencers on Instagram with back acne and I’m sure rinsing conditioners in the shower without thoroughly washing their back afterwards has a lot to do with it. I don’t have back acne …I shampoo in the shower & rinse the conditioner in the kitchen sink. I wish we could have more natural hair care products that are good for both our hair and our skin. Organic or not I can’t tolerate oils. I tried and it was a horrible mistake.

I am not alone! My scalp and hair do not like oils. My wash-n-go's are less frizzy and curls more define without oils and butters.

My hair looks better now that I've simplified my routine. My pockets are happy too. I love that my hair still feels clean after I style. No need for harsh clarifying shampoos.

I think this helped with my hair too. I had issues with frizz and I was always doing the LOC method. I tried a wash and go without any standalone oil and it came out better than it ever has.

There are so many different types of oils though and should not all be classed together. There are some oils that can penetrate your strands, (these are good for low porosity hair) such as olive oil and grapeseed oil, often I use it after my leave in and I rinse off the EXCESS that hasn't entered by strands, you can tell because you shouldn't get that greasy feeling. Heavier oils like coconut oil will just sit on top of the hair because the molecules are too big..I stay away from them especially for my low porosity hair. I took out oils from my routine for some months and my hair suffered. You just need to know what you're doing and know your hair when using oils otherwise it can lead to breakage.

I agree with the oil!!! I have friends who complain of dry hair but yet put tons of oil on their scalp to help with moisturizing!!! oil is not a moisturizer! It can lock moisture in but you are right, you would not be able to add any the next days when refreshing. I am still trying to convince them to add real moisture such as water or better yet leave in conditioner to add moisture. not oil but alas, they are still doing it... lol.

my hair is going thru a phase where it doesn't like natural oils. I do not use them either. Right now, my hair frizzes when I apply oils to it. I think the frizz might be due to protein sensitivity. I can use silicones without any issues. And I wash my hair weekly. What I do instead is use a DIY flaxseed gel, marshmallow root and slippery elm and that combination adds shine and keeps my hair moisturized.

My hair doesn’t respond poorly to oils, I think it actually likes oil, but my hair is ABNORMALLY frizzy. Like, it REPELS water with a disgust. So maybe I should clarify my hair and try an oil free wash day 😐

I get that oils lock moisture out as well as in, but isn't that a good thing? Like if you moisturise your hair with a leave in and then seal it in with an oil, isn't it good that no more moisture can penetrate your strands (i.e. in humid conditions) which can leave it looking frizzy also?

It is actually a good thing and people do recommend using a oil to seal all that moisture in after your leave in. They lock the moisture like silicones do, so you don't really need to apply a hair oil serum with silicones in it (store bought oils usually have silicones, but some brands don't have them - which is great!). I do recommend a hair oil serum that you bough on a store instead of the pure oil itself. Just pure oil will attract dirt to your hair and store bought won't (because they've certain ingredients that will stop that from happening - at least that's what I've heard)

yup, i found that during rainy season i had to use shea butter to have any definition. gel would leave my hair dry and frizzy. oils were too light for me. but basically an oil/butter stops humid air sucking moisture out of your strands.

Some oils are moisturizers as well. coconut oil is a great example

What do you do with the oil products you bought but can't use?

Can we please get an updated night routine? How do you tie up your hair? So when you wake up it’s not a whole hot mess and frizzy. Let me know. Thanks 😊

Scarlet X absolutely 🥰

I rarely use oils on my hair. I find most of them to be too thick. I do like Melanin Hair Care's oil blend though. It's super light weight, though I still don't seem to use a lot of it. If I use something that makes my hair crunchy I'll use oil only to break the cast. My hair products have oils in them no doubt, but I don't use oil as a part of my hair care routine (ex: LOC method).

Dam,girl.i didn't know it was a such thing as stand alone oils.you learnt me something new.

Some oils do penetrate.

I think this applies to low porosity heads and/or folks that don't use shampoo.

But how do you keep your scalp moisturized and not dry then? many of us suffer from dry scalp issues. Like how we avoid dandruff?

Karabo Machokoto for scalp issues, I would think oil can be helpful... in the video I was more referring to using oil in your actual hair. but for scalp, I would think oil would be just fine!

Deep conditioning takes care of dry scalp too.

Are you using foaming shampoo on your hair? Your scalp knows what to do but sometimes we use products that are counterproductive.

Which leave-in conditioners do you use?

Oils make my hair hard and crunchy. I don’t use any oils. Tried it a few times and it just doesn’t work for me. I’m a 3b

Hi I recently come to a place where I decided maybe oils in my hair were the culprit for my hair and scalp being dry. So I’m literally day 1 without putting hair oil in my hair when I washed it. I did recently find a product that actually worked on my hair and I would have a hard time giving it up because nothing works in my hair. I did however want your opinion in the product!! I want to do this right. It’s uncle funkies daughter curly magic curl stimulator. Thank you!!

I recently stopped, I’ve used 100% raw organic oils and store bought ones. They all give me build up and make my hair dry and I only used them to “seal”. My hair is much softer now and receives moisture way easier.

When i started using heavy oils and butters my hair felt so heavy and my hair started shedding like crazy. My hair is a lot thinner now after adding them to my routine (because someone else was doing it) when I already had a routine that was working for me. I can ONLY use lightweight oils.

Olive oil works great on my hair. Less frizz, nice shine. But have to find what works for your hair. Takes time.

I’m going to try this because I use oils a lot and my hair is a frizzy mess all the time and doesn’t hold its definition.

So there's this instagram that uses Meraki oil and it is confusing because the hair growth I see on there is crazy. But a hair growth expert told me not to use oil bc it prevents water from goin into your hair. But I guess it depends on if the oil is soluble enough? so confused lol. also there's natural oils in our hair so it just doesn't make sense. what's the answer??? lol is oil good or and? what about our ends? should we just put oil on our ends?

What works for one ay not work for another. My hair thrives on Mane Choice oil. The creams were not doing it for my 4a hair. I dont really mind a little frizz in my hair
