So I finally had a chance to do something I’ve been meaning to do all summer – an oil treatment on my hair. (Don’t worry, I never do hot oil treatments and I only shampoo my hair at all, if I’m doing an oil treatment and need to get some of the oil out of my hair after. So basically all I put into my hair generally is very occasional oil, and then the mildest shampoo that will still rinse the oil out enough for my hair to dry properly.)

My mom had sent me what she called a “conditioner”, but it’s actually just nearly every kind of hair oil imaginable, combined into one bottle. There’s no other ingredients but various plant oils and possibly shea butter. So I decided to try it out. (Normally I wet my hair, put on coconut oil, rinse it out, put in olive oil, rinse that out, and shampoo if necessary. And I also have a spray I’ve made out of coconut oil and olive oil and water that’s much milder and helps moisturize my hair in between oil treatments.)

So I used the multi-oil-thing, and then I left it on for a few hours, and then I shampooed my hair with the mildest shampoo I have, which is SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo. And this is the end result so far – long, soft, shiny, wavy/curly hair that’s much less frizzy than it started out, It’s no longer trying to stand on end sideways, either.
