LADIES. LISTEN. Water is moisture. Oils & butters only SEAL IN the moisture (water). All oils are NOT created equal. Some oils are good for combating certain issues moreso than others. Peppermint and lavender oils for example are best for stimulating the blood cells on your scalp and making the hair smell lovely. Stimulation of the blood cells on the scalp is also why massaging your head for 15 minutes daily makes your hair grow much faster. Tea tree, coconut or castor oil, on the other hand have amazing anti-fungal and healing properties, which is why they are best to put on balding spots or thinning edges. BUT they do nothing for you if you want fresh smelling hair or instant frizz control. For low porosity hair, you need LIGHT oils bc your tight cuticles can only hold so much oil. Low porosity hair requires LESS oil than high porosity bc your issue is getting the moisture in, NOT keeping it in. That is why low porosity naturals are encouraged to use lighter oils like grapeseed, jojoba, argan oil, etc. Coconut oil is fine too but too much of it can cause protein overload, which is why many naturals complain about having very dry OR too oily hair the next day after using it. If your fingers are very oily after you put them thru your hair, that means that you put too much in, hence the reason your cuticles rejected the excess oil and made the excess oil just sit on top of your head. Heavier oils like castor oil, for example should NOT be applied daily bc your porosity does NOT need heavy oils just to seal the moisture in, unlike ladies with high porosity hair. The only reason ladies with high porosity hair are encouraged to use heavier oils is bc their constantly open cuticles need more help keeping the moisture in, which the heavier-duty oils are good for doing. Remember, low porosity means you have trouble getting the moisture (water) IN, not keeping it in. High porosity means you don't have trouble getting the moisture in (naturally open cuticles), but have trouble KEEPING IT IN. Low porosity is like a jar with a tight lid on it. Once you get the water in the jar, you're all good bc the lid will naturally close itself very quickly. The hard part is getting that stubborn lid to slide off and open/lift so that you can get the water in, in the 1st place. However, high porosity is like a jar with no lid that has a hole in it. Getting water in isn't the problem bc there's no lid to stop the water from getting in. Keeping it in is the problem bc of the hole in the jar. The best way to avoid all this confusion is to mix a carrier oil with an essential oil OR mix a few of your favorite oils together but just not using as much on your hair so that either way, the moisture is guaranteed to be sealed in one way or another. Another thing, if you are low porosity then you need to heat your oils before putting them on your hair but only during wash day. Not only will the heat ensure that the oils penetrate, but they'll also leave a thin layer of oil that'll trap the moisture no matter what else you do afterwards to wash any other products out. It's called oil rinsing and should ideally be done right after shampooing and either with the deep conditioner or after the deep conditioner. Oil rinsing is ideal for ladies who battle constant dryness and loss of moisture no matter what they do. Another thing, only by virgin organic oils. The bottle of oil you buy should only have ONE ingredient in it, which is the name of the oil itself. If you want coconut oil, then the only ingredient should be coconut. If the bottle has 10 extra ingredients then don't buy it bc those extra chemicals mixed with the organic oil cancels out all the essential nutrients that made the oil so magic in the 1st place. Another thing, be careful with pure essential oils bc many of them will cause skin and scalp irritation and inflammation if they are not properly diluted with a carrier oil. Always read the back of the bottle to browse the instructions just in case you accidentally pick up a concentrated essential oil without realizing it. This tip is moreso for new naturals who are new to the game.
@@florizellathompson1562 Hey there. I use Shea butter on damp hair to moisturize and seal my hair. I like to keep my hair care natural and simple. Here are the benefits that I have experienced: improves the look and feel of hair, quenches dry and brittle hair, nourishes the scalp, adds a nice sheen, cuts down on itchiness, and stays in the hair for a few days or more. I usually apply it once or twice a week and then use a clarifying shampoo on wash days. I'm not a dermatologist or a hairstylist. This is just what works for me and my lifestyle.
I do find JBCO is phenomenal as a sealer but also used as a moisturizer and leave in too. It helps with my damaged hair and repairs the split ends. On my scalp it has helped grow, and thicken my hair. I have a huge gray patch and when I am diligent with the JBCO/Okay brand it has darkened my gray patch. I believe the brand and quality of JBCO makes a huge difference. The darker the JBCO the better it works. The burned seed adds vitamins and minerals to the oil. That is what makes it dark. Your JBCO should be Amber to dark in color and should not be translucent. A translucent JBCO has been processed too much.
So far I have used two. Okay JBCO and Tropic Isle and I will say Okay is a better quality I had no idea that some JBCO are diluted. Look for deep dark color to Amber. It should be extremely viscous and sticky feeling. The more liquid it is the more diluted it is. The lighter the more diluted.
@@duckipersons3918 it's the same thing for any type of hair. People be acting like natural hair is this alien type of hair. Water is the only moisturizer. That's why so many all themselves moisturizing their hair with grease, oil, and butters and are still suffering from dry hair. Apply the three on wet hair it your hair is dry. Just because something makes your hair shiny, doesn't mean it's moisturized. The heavier it is , the more it smoothes the hair down but it is not a moisturizer. The inside of your hair is still dry.
Sealing oils at 6:49 jbco is my favorite oil to moisturize my transitioning hair it's soft and manageable and jojoba oil I been using on my skin. I use olive oil lotion to moisturize my hair and jbco to seal it all in.
Genesis Bookard Almond oil is moisturizing...and it's amazing for face cleansing, moisturizing, and helped my skin drastically with dark marks...it's high in vitamin e and minerals so it's definitely beneficial unless you're allergic to any kind of nut...🙂
Coconut oil some how makes my hair extrmely dry but also gets evry like its there but you cant tell and it doed not agree with my scalp its just a no for me
Hi. I have purchased a host of oils after watching hair videos and ayurveda recipes. I just found you as I was about to do my night time hair regimen. So I thank you so much for this because you have covered exactly what I wanted to know; which are moisturing oils and which are the sealants. I've just applied olive oil to very damp hair giving myself a few minutes massage. I then covered my hair well with jojoba oil. Last night I used a liberal amount of grapeseed oil under two plastic caps and then put on my large elastic banded cap and went to bed. I didn't like that regimen because the grapeseed oil kept running down the back of my neck. I think my hair was too wet. So tonight I did the routine I mentioned and I think it'll work better because I didn't apply the oils to soaking wet hair, and I used them correctly. This truly is a natural hair journey learning by trial and error. But, I love it and will never relax or dye my hair again.
I mixed almond oil with my Shea moisture conditioner, and some purified water if the consistency is too thick. I leave it in my hear til I take another shower about two days later. Wash it out then reapply. My hair really reacts to almond oil well. It loves it. I use to use coconut oil but then I realized my hair is a bit protein sensitive. So I just add it in here and there. Even tho almond oil has some proteins in it. I find by mixing it into my conditioner and applying all at once I get the best results. My hair is so extremely soft after. And I can extend my wash days without build up or itching unlike other oils. Almond oil is light but a bit thicker than jojoba oil. It's just right for my hair and my hair really enjoys it. More than anything else I've tried. And if find following this consistent regimen with the same products has gotten me the best results. My hair has grown two inches since January.
Thanks for the information. I just wanted to caution everyone that not all products that claims that they are or contain Jamaican Black castor oil is authentic. Majority of them I have found has nothing to do with Jamaica. Real castor oil is not fragrant. It has a nutty smell. The only brand I found that meets the grade is the "sunny isle brand". Hope this will help someone.
I'm really glad you said not to apply sealing oils to your scalp bc that could be a major mistake, I've done it once and my hair wasn't happy. It's really best to apply it to the ends of your hair, I use grapeseed oil to seal and it's really light and wonderful. Jojoba is good too but in my area it's kinda expensive so I have to settle for grapeseed. I think coconut oil is good as a moisturizing oil but for me I have to combine it with olive oil to get my hair going. But everyone's hair is different so whatever works, works.
jackseve I use the Okay's JBCO conditioner for everything: co wash, daily conditioner, leave in and deep conditioner. It was worth the $6 I paid for it
The breakdown of each oil type was helpful and I was glad to hear how you use them in you and your daughter's regimen. Perhaps more concise and fact-based descriptions of each oil would be helpful additions for people trying to figure out which to purchase. I have type 4a/4b low porosity hair. Olive is best for me as a pre-shampoo, mixed with a final shampoo or deep conditioner since it penetrates the deepest layer of cortex. It provides softness, detangling, moisture and pliability. It can dry dull and tacky if too much is used, so best to rinse out or water rinse to evenly distribute. Avocado oil is best as a balancing leave-in for me since it provides both moisture (humectant properties) and strength (some protein). It is necessary to my styling as it helps my hair dry with its best texture, shine and least amount of frizz. It also penetrates the cuticle but not as deeply as olive oil. I mix it with my leave-in + JBCO. JBCO is best for me in small amounts mixed with leave-in for balancing (softening/strengthening) and also great in shampoos for softening tangled or dry roots. It can cause frizz in humid weather. For sealing, I use and love jojoba oil since it provides shine and definition. I use argan oil to seal also since it is longer lasting and provides more softness and pliability, but not as much shine as jojoba. I'll be trying Grapeseed next for sealing and Macadamia oil for moisture since it supposedly penetrates the deepest layer of hair.
+Minimal Assembly thanks, I have plenty of videos explaining the benefits of these oils I talk about these a lot on my channel..this video was solely to give the difference of sealing and moisturizing and which oils went with each category
Just bought grapeseed oil for my hair and i’m excited. The first thing is that it doesn’t smell. I have long dreads and so scent is very important to me. It’s also light and my hair soaks it in immediately. I have 3c/4a hair. I warm up the oil by leaving it in a cup of hot water and then pour onto my head and that way the heat opens my follicles. I finally wrap my hair up in a silk scarf to allow my hair to drink up all the oil. I only apply the oil to my scalp.
it's pronounced like EYE-UL (isle)!! This is such an educational video thanks for posting. I need to buy Grapeseed Oil again. I think coconut oil doesn't work well with my hair (or skin).
is it OK to mix all the oils together? I just have one bottle where I just mix everything together and I use it to do everything from prepooing, to sealing and moisturizing. Would mixing the oils make them less effective?
I mix water conditioner with a couple oils in a spray bottle. Use it mainly as a prepoo or leave in conditioner. Just don't do it every day because it can build up.
Water. Small amount of olive oil. And blue magic grease to seal it....WORKS JUST FINE FOR ME AND MY HAIR GROWTH AND I AINT HAVE TO PAY AN ARM AND LEG FOR IT... #14INCHES💅😝
coconut oil is actually supposed to be one of those seal-in moisturizers. So it doesn't actually moisturize your hair. Whatever moisture you already have in you hair will be locked in, which is why your hair may be drying out if you're using only coconut oil. If you use coconut based products before other oils, you're essentially locking out potential moisture from all the moisturizing oils you should be using first. Also, an excessive amount of coconut based products may lead to drying as well
This was really educational. I didn't know about the differences in oils and how they work. It was good to find out that I have been using my chosen oils correctly. I use Avosoya oil from Hairveda for moisture and to seal. Since deciding to wear a buzzcut I have really noticed why these oils work for my scalp. I can continue to use the LOC method, but just using waaaay less product. Thanks again for the information!! xxx
Thank you for the awesome video unfortunately I have to disagree with Castrol oil castor oil I have no idea why but it simply does not work for my hair. castor oil and always feels very heavy on my hair and I've tried many other heavy products and they seemed to work fine but castor oil does not work for my head I think that's a product that's for some good and others are not
Thanks so much for your clear and simple explanations. Jojoba oil is the closest to the natural cebum, natural oils that come from our skin & scalp naturally. Video was very, very helpful. I have always used the Jamaican Black Castro oil that has always worked for my hair. Details about the scalp usage with oils is very informative, and thanks for helping us know where, when & why to use moisturizing oils and sealant oils. Thanks for your time, Arlene (Miami, FL 07/30/2020)
Loved this video! I've had all of the experiences that you mentioned with those oils but never realized why, i.e. coconut oil doing nothing for my hair unless mixed with something else. It all makes so much sense now. I'll be using this info. Thanks!
Well she said avocado oil doesn't seal but cold pressed avocado oil will seal. Regular will not. I thought..Or can someone please clarify this for me??
Outstanding product! I use Argan Rain Argan Oil as an all over moisturizer, especially face and nail. I like the light smell and feel. Highly recommend.
Grapeseed oil is my favorite! I have low porosity hair and it seals my hair so well. I can use JBCO, but lightly with Carol's daughter waves, kinks, coils line.
Good video. I definitely use jojoba oil as a moisturizer and coconut oil as a sealant though and it works fine. However, I'm interested in seeing how JBCO would work as a sealant because I always hated how thick it was and felt like it couldn't possibly be penetrating the hair shaft.
I have a small sensitivity to coconut oil but when I was using it in my mixed chicks deep conditioner it gave me super moisture and shine and major slip I just hate that my hair and skin pick and choose when to like it but I always revisit it I now feel I don't whole heartily hate it like everyone says but olive oil I put it in everything and JBCO
I really appreciate this video. I've been natural a long time and it's great to learn something new, especially something that can improve my regimen. I've lately been using avocado oil (I buy it from Walmart) and I am still working on this big bottle I have for the past few months.
Interesting! What happens when mixing moisturizing and penetrating oils together? I.e. mixing rice bran and coconut oil or another mix of multiple oils? Will the moisturizing oils have deeper penetration, less penetration, or about the same?
I usually use coconut oil to seal but it definitely leaves me hair greasy and I will lid use Jbco to prepoo or scalp massage but I'm going to switch them and see if I see a difference and I definitely have to go get more jojoba oil which is love ❤️
Hi There, I first want to say that I absolutely love your videos... I've learned so much and you've given me the motivation I needed to start taking really good care of my daughters hair. My daughter has 4b type hair and I've used so many products and have tried to keep her hair in good health but I had no idea what I was doing or what the products were doing. So, I just want to say thank you so much.... With that being said I have a question... After you do a protective style on your daughter; twist are my preference.... do you use a sealant every day after you moisturize? So, for example I typically put her hair up in a style on a Sunday and then leave it in all week... every morning I moisturize it should I add a sealant afterwards daily? Thanks again
This was very helpful, now I understand why certain oils work the way they do in my hair. What type of oil is monoi? I have one my carols daughter and wanted to start using it. Thanks so much for the info. 🤗
I do not think that "moisturizing" oils is the appropriate term for these oils. I would mostly call them nutritious oils. Since they are able to penetrate the hair, the nutrients are also able to come through. Just my take on it.
I loveeeee JBCO I use it on my ends when I twist my hair and it holds my ends together and seals them perfectly....I have been using olive oil to seal my hair I do feel that it holds all of my products it because my hair stays soft n defined for a few days but it could just be my products I use lol still figuring that out....coconut oil is to heavy for my hair I usually just prepoo with it...avocado oil does nothing buy dry my hair out I have tried it in so many different ways I even tried the design essential avocado oil leave in and my hair just hates avocado
It can be both on my opinion but I do believe it works better as a moisturizer oil once is very light and it is capable to penetrate the hair shaft as well as jojoba oil. I did a very detailed reseach about it because I was having problems with "heavy" oils. I have a 3c hair with few 3b and 4a and low porosity hair. But as she said: sometimes works on somebody's hair but does not for everyone. I hope it helps. And "Hi" from Brazil! Chris
grape seed oil is actually very thin and it is absorbed into pores faster than coconut oil. and is great for oily skin as well because it doesnt just coat the skin. i think that this video needs a little more reseach but in all it was ok
My hair is brittle and dry an breaks easily from bleaching and dying it so much so is it best to use a sealing oil or Moisturizing oil? I wanna try olive oil because my hair hates coconut oil

Is jojoba oil good for low porosity hair??
What about high porosity?
Thaaank youuu ♡
I love you for writing this Krys B. You really helped me so much with this information... Thank you so much
Fast forward to 3:10 for the list of oils in case it helps anyone :)
Jadda Brokenberry thaaaaankkk u!!!!
Jadda Brokenberry thanks
Jadda Brokenberry thank you‼️
Jadda Brokenberry thank God for this.. omg. She took forever to get to the point.
Jadda Brokenberry thanks

It seems that way but jojoba is a sealing oil.

All oils are sealants as they all repel water. They seal the hair by either coating the hair shaft or penetrating it slightly.
McKenna SantaClaus Not when it comes to natural hair. 🙄
Ducki Persons Yeah! I wonder if people that say stuff like that have wavy, curly or coily hair.
Slather your hair with oil or grease and go play outside in the rain and see what happens, lmao!
I hate that people even use moisturizing and oil together. It doesn't make sense. The only moisturizer is water.

Not really
Nooo it’s a sealant
I didn't know that there were different oils for moisturizing and sealing
same
Yes but used sparingly

Here's a video on sealing vs moisturizing oils! Hope you all enjoy :))

ezaria Carline your hair is protein sensitive. That’s probably why it dries you out
Are you natural or permed? Permed hair repels most buttery oils.
I mix sunflower oil with aloe and let me tell you it works try it

Coconut oil smells so strongly however I love how it moisturises my hair longterm.
If you buy organic virgin coconut oil it wont have a scent
Tropic Isles JBCO is not really a good JBCO it is more diluted. Try Okay JBCO and you will see a huge difference. You will used even less.
jackseve yes I agree! I noticed that it's way more diluted! That's why I recommend rooted treasures it's super thick, dark and you can tell it's real
jackseve i wish we could get the Okay jbc in the Uk as it's true most of them are diluted.
jackseve I use the Okay's JBCO conditioner for everything: co wash, daily conditioner, leave in and deep conditioner. It was worth the $6 I paid for it

It’s also light and my hair soaks it in immediately. I have 3c/4a hair. I warm up the oil by leaving it in a cup of hot water and then pour onto my head and that way the heat opens my follicles. I finally wrap my hair up in a silk scarf to allow my hair to drink up all the oil.
I only apply the oil to my scalp.
it's pronounced like EYE-UL (isle)!!
This is such an educational video thanks for posting. I need to buy Grapeseed Oil again. I think coconut oil doesn't work well with my hair (or skin).
Thank you for your help!!!
everything u said about coconut oil and olive happen to me, I totally didn't get what was wrong. you gave a lot of clarity . thank u dear
Im prepooing right now with hot olive oil. Great for your ends
is it OK to mix all the oils together? I just have one bottle where I just mix everything together and I use it to do everything from prepooing, to sealing and moisturizing. Would mixing the oils make them less effective?
I mix water conditioner with a couple oils in a spray bottle. Use it mainly as a prepoo or leave in conditioner. Just don't do it every day because it can build up.
Water. Small amount of olive oil. And blue magic grease to seal it....WORKS JUST FINE FOR ME AND MY HAIR GROWTH AND I AINT HAVE TO PAY AN ARM AND LEG FOR IT... #14INCHES💅😝
coconut oil is actually supposed to be one of those seal-in moisturizers. So it doesn't actually moisturize your hair. Whatever moisture you already have in you hair will be locked in, which is why your hair may be drying out if you're using only coconut oil. If you use coconut based products before other oils, you're essentially locking out potential moisture from all the moisturizing oils you should be using first. Also, an excessive amount of coconut based products may lead to drying as well
Yes olive oil is bomb my hair is hella thick so it works for me!❤️my mom has thinner hair and doesn’t like it as much though
Coconut oil is good to moisturise the skin but hit and miss for my hair, works best when my hair is wet
Yes ..I use it as hot oil treatment mixed with other oils ...
Wow such an inspiration your such a guiding light on this natural hair journey!
Love this one! I use olive and coconut oil in my hair growth oil as well along with other things!
Enjoyed the video Thank you for the tips because I wasn't sure which oils seal and moisturize
I mix olive oil and Jamaican black castor oil together and put them in my hair, so is that bad idea?? Like should I only use one at a time?!
i'm here representing the fellas and the beards. 🔥video. Thank you.

Your hair is so nice... exactly how I want mine to look
Love coconut oil.....but use it as hot oil treatment mix with other oils and i mix a little with my grease
So Coconut Oil is the best Light Weight Moisturizing Oil. Good to know. Thanks!
what about argan oil?
Jade Agard sealant
Amazing for skin
This was really educational. I didn't know about the differences in oils and how they work. It was good to find out that I have been using my chosen oils correctly. I use Avosoya oil from Hairveda for moisture and to seal. Since deciding to wear a buzzcut I have really noticed why these oils work for my scalp. I can continue to use the LOC method, but just using waaaay less product. Thanks again for the information!! xxx
Thank you for the awesome video unfortunately I have to disagree with Castrol oil castor oil I have no idea why but it simply does not work for my hair. castor oil and always feels very heavy on my hair and I've tried many other heavy products and they seemed to work fine but castor oil does not work for my head I think that's a product that's for some good and others are not
Great information. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this video! I was confused about the best way to seal the moisture in my hair.
Thanks for clarifying this up for me. I had no idea about the different types of oils. I think this might solve most of my problem.
Flaxseed oil has worked wonders for me, is it sealing or moisturizing?
Skip to 3:10
Thank you, by all means, thank you 😭 😭
Your hair looks good
+Diedra Evans thank you! It's a twist out
Shawntas Way U welcome n i thought it was a wash n go
I can't use coconut oil or JBC, protein is too high and makes my 4b hair(low porosity) break. But avocado oul is great because it's a light protein.
Thanks so much for your clear and simple explanations. Jojoba oil is the closest to the natural cebum, natural oils that come from our skin & scalp naturally. Video was very, very helpful. I have always used the Jamaican Black Castro oil that has always worked for my hair. Details about the scalp usage with oils is very informative, and thanks for helping us know where, when & why to use moisturizing oils and sealant oils. Thanks for your time, Arlene (Miami, FL 07/30/2020)
This came on my feed perfect timing, coconut and olive oil that i put on hours ago are literally running down my face . I was wondering why
Mix any oil with water.the moment u find a oil that mixed and not sink at the bottom then u can call it moisture oil
This video may be an archive but it’s new to me! 😂 Thank you for an easy, thought out helpful tutorial that was very informative!
ur so pretty and I love ur hair so much I really admire u because i didn't waste any time on subscribing at all !!
Loved this video! I've had all of the experiences that you mentioned with those oils but never realized why, i.e. coconut oil doing nothing for my hair unless mixed with something else. It all makes so much sense now. I'll be using this info. Thanks!
Well she said avocado oil doesn't seal but cold pressed avocado oil will seal. Regular will not. I thought..Or can someone please clarify this for me??
Outstanding product! I use Argan Rain Argan Oil as an all over moisturizer, especially face and nail. I like the light smell and feel. Highly recommend.
Grapeseed oil is my favorite! I have low porosity hair and it seals my hair so well. I can use JBCO, but lightly with Carol's daughter waves, kinks, coils line.
Tiffany what brand do you buy
6:45 if you want a list of sealing oils
Good video. I definitely use jojoba oil as a moisturizer and coconut oil as a sealant though and it works fine. However, I'm interested in seeing how JBCO would work as a sealant because I always hated how thick it was and felt like it couldn't possibly be penetrating the hair shaft.
What about almond oil? I personally use it as a sealant
+Michaela3 yes almond oil is another sealant I use!
Yesss been waiting for you to drop this video 😂🙏🏾
I have a small sensitivity to coconut oil but when I was using it in my mixed chicks deep conditioner it gave me super moisture and shine and major slip I just hate that my hair and skin pick and choose when to like it but I always revisit it I now feel I don't whole heartily hate it like everyone says but olive oil I put it in everything and JBCO
Melanin Rayy yay! Lol It's finally here!
I really appreciate this video. I've been natural a long time and it's great to learn something new, especially something that can improve my regimen. I've lately been using avocado oil (I buy it from Walmart) and I am still working on this big bottle I have for the past few months.
You did this video girl!! Super informative! Thank you, i took many notes. I can't wait to begin using the oils in my regimen..
Thank you for such a clear breakdown, now I can love my hair a bit more and give it BOTH type of oils it desrves. God bless! Xx
Interesting! What happens when mixing moisturizing and penetrating oils together? I.e. mixing rice bran and coconut oil or another mix of multiple oils? Will the moisturizing oils have deeper penetration, less penetration, or about the same?
One of the best clips I’ve come across; Level headed feedback and Your subscribers are the bomb!!! give me laughs; great tips and good advice✌️✨✨✨✨
I usually use coconut oil to seal but it definitely leaves me hair greasy and I will lid use Jbco to prepoo or scalp massage but I'm going to switch them and see if I see a difference and I definitely have to go get more jojoba oil which is love ❤️
OhSoNaturally 1 Did it make a difference?
take a shot every time she say moisture\moisturize
cheyenne howell Or Oil Lol
cheyenne howell hmm. Getting knackered and hair educated at the same time lol
💀💀💀💀
Hi There, I first want to say that I absolutely love your videos... I've learned so much and you've given me the motivation I needed to start taking really good care of my daughters hair. My daughter has 4b type hair and I've used so many products and have tried to keep her hair in good health but I had no idea what I was doing or what the products were doing. So, I just want to say thank you so much.... With that being said I have a question... After you do a protective style on your daughter; twist are my preference.... do you use a sealant every day after you moisturize? So, for example I typically put her hair up in a style on a Sunday and then leave it in all week... every morning I moisturize it should I add a sealant afterwards daily? Thanks again
which type of oil works best after you spray your hair with water? or can moisturizing oil be used without water?
This was very helpful, now I understand why certain oils work the way they do in my hair. What type of oil is monoi? I have one my carols daughter and wanted to start using it. Thanks so much for the info. 🤗
nikkib1002 coconut oil
Bee Ray OK thanks. 😊
Thanks this was very helpful.
This was very helpful .... I am trying to figure why my hair is dry all the time and it could be how I use the oil and type I am using.
I do not think that "moisturizing" oils is the appropriate term for these oils. I would mostly call them nutritious oils. Since they are able to penetrate the hair, the nutrients are also able to come through. Just my take on it.
Omg , thank you for this tutorial....I see you didnt mention shea butter, I guess everyone has gotten off that one.
Try black seed oil as a sealant.
Pro Naturals is my preference 💖
How often to you use it in your hair? Nightly, or every other night?
I loveeeee JBCO I use it on my ends when I twist my hair and it holds my ends together and seals them perfectly....I have been using olive oil to seal my hair I do feel that it holds all of my products it because my hair stays soft n defined for a few days but it could just be my products I use lol still figuring that out....coconut oil is to heavy for my hair I usually just prepoo with it...avocado oil does nothing buy dry my hair out I have tried it in so many different ways I even tried the design essential avocado oil leave in and my hair just hates avocado
I've been using avocado oil as a sealant oh my lol 😂 I'll just buy some jojoba oil next time I go out shopping lol
Is grape seed oil a moisturizer or a sealant?
Natural Nichole sealant
It can be both on my opinion but I do believe it works better as a moisturizer oil once is very light and it is capable to penetrate the hair shaft as well as jojoba oil. I did a very detailed reseach about it because I was having problems with "heavy" oils. I have a 3c hair with few 3b and 4a and low porosity hair. But as she said: sometimes works on somebody's hair but does not for everyone. I hope it helps. And "Hi" from Brazil! Chris
Natural Nichole i use it as a moisturizer because i have low porosity hair and it penetrates through my strands
realtotherealest well it works great for my hair & family. Actual it does penetrate the hair & its works best with ppl who have low porosity...
grape seed oil is actually very thin and it is absorbed into pores faster than coconut oil. and is great for oily skin as well because it doesnt just coat the skin. i think that this video needs a little more reseach but in all it was ok
you hair is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for video I'm starting my hair journey and this was so helpful
I have 3b 3c hair kinky curly knot today with a little olive oil on top is that business!! Not heavy at all
I have 4a-4c hair and I love kinky curly knot today with sunflower oil or other oil blend and it works great for me.
This was super helpful!!! Tfs!!! ❤️
Why would you use a sealing oil in a deep conditioner? FYI coconut, olive, and avocado are moisturizing and should be used with conditioners
so that means that you couldn't use coconut- or olive oil as an sealant
Ifeoma you can
Yes but it doesn't work for some
My hair is brittle and dry an breaks easily from bleaching and dying it so much so is it best to use a sealing oil or Moisturizing oil? I wanna try olive oil because my hair hates coconut oil
I think I have low porosity hair - what oils should I try out
I love this. this video explains so much.
Loved this video ❤️
This was very helpful, thanks!
Girl I use them the way u mentioned… but avocado I prepoo or use for hot oil and it’s okay or me and the kids
I used some coconut oil last on my hair once then went outside, my hair felt like I poured some pump it on my head 😧
Janet E Oh no. My daughter had the same experience. It ain't for everyone😫
Same
If the weather was cold yes coconut oils do not work for most people as leave in... Use with other oils in hot oil treatment....
Thank you for the tips,Great video!
