Oil Rinsing..a praised technique for moisturising ethnic hair


I recently came across an article about OIL RINSING, and curiosity led me into doing a bit of research on this technique which receives great praise from those that have used it. After all the reading i did, I cocluded that it would be a good one to share and introduce to those of you who might not be familiar with this treatment..

Oil Rinsing is basically washing your hair with oil before you apply your conditioner, here are some simple steps on how to do this simple process:

Start by shampooing your hair, or just rinse your hair (if not using shampoo) but make sure it gets soaked.
•    Coat your wet hair with about a handful (about ½ cup or so) of your favourite oil like olive, castor etc
•    Rinse the oil off with hot water
•    Proceed to apply conditioner to your strands liberally
•    Rinse with cool water while detangling. This should be quick and painless!
•    Apply your leave in conditioner and seal (seal refers to sealing in moisture by using oil or a serum after a wash)

Note: It works best if you are keeping your hair natural, or in the case of relaxed hair if you wont be flat ironing or blow drying your hair after the wash but letting it air dry...
