Hey Curlfriends! Thank you for watching and sharing this week's video! To learn more about the best oils, butters, and ingredients for your hair; here is a promo code for the Natural Hair Care Wisdom Flash Cards, use code: "Wisdom10". Here's the link: curlychemistry.com/product/flashcards/ 🙂
I can’t order until Oct.3, I’m on a fixed income but I will definitely support you as well as help my self. Yes I will, I can’t wait. I’m very excited!!!👀😱😃👍🏽🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯👍🏽👍🏽❤️🙏🏽
I have been oiling my scalp for growth and moisture for many years now, since I stopped using hair grease. After watching a previous video of yours in which you said that it is more beneficial to oil at night, I have been oiling my hair only at night for almost a year or so, and I must say that I have seen a significant growth in my hair. I use a hair oil that has a mixture of avocado, grapeseed, castor, olive, amla, fenugreek, rosemary, licorice root, sweet flag, hibiscus, rose petals, alkanet, among other ayurvedic herbs. Thank you for the wealth of information that you share with us in this community.
@@nancykerrigan It's sweet flag (acorus calamus) and not sweet fig. It has a high concentration of phytonutrients ...used to prevent or treat hair loss, hair thining, gray hair, etc.
@@kparker1006able It's sort of. I found a hair oil that contained most of the ingredients that I wanted to make my own, which costed a lot less than if I had to source and purchase each oil,... then I added a few others into it.
Watching your videos has helped me stay engaged in my undergrad chemistry classes. I can’t count how many times I’ve stood in drugstores reading ingredients and recalling what purpose they serve. Chemistry is EVERYTHING. Thank you so much for all you do. ❤
I need to start incorporating oils into my haircare routine again. Because of the Twitter natural girlies who started the hair detox/no butters & no oils challenge, I stopped using oils and saw so much breakage in my hair. Now, after so many tears and exercising patience, I'm starting to regain some more health in my once damaged hair.
I use hemp seed oil immediately after I shampoo my hair. My hair is grown and my scalp is no longer itching. You saved my scalp after hearing your tip!!!
Thanks for this. Im Post Menopause with an Autoimmune disease. I recently tried to heat train my hair, which is already fine. I decided against that idea and went back to my curls. Now the curls are looser, but yet, with many protein treatments, they're coming back. Now I used to wash my hair frequently, meaning every other day. The Menopause along with Rheumatoid Arthritis has caused my hair to be very dry. I used to be a hater of oils. Now I actually have started back using them and my hair is responding well to them. I have started doing twist outs, and washing only once a week, instead of daily
I grew up not using one specific hair oil, it was used depending on various conditions of the weather, ur mood, health, scalp condition and season. So, the hair oil changed often. 3 favs of mine are Moringa, Amla and mustard seed oil. And we expressed gratitude before applying it. But don't overuse it curlfriends!💯
I just started to oil my scalp after washing my hair in the shower, and I’m starting to notice the difference. My scalp is now less itchy and my hair feels soft and nourished. Thank you for that wonderful and important tip.
Favorite scalp product is a DIY grease that contains Blue Magic bergamont, olive oil, sunflower oil, coffee, fenugreek and sublimated sulphur. Only used on wash days and I have been itch and dandruff free since
I use my aloe vera oil that I make with other oils in it, pepermint oil, jojoba oil, tea tree, avacado and other oils. I also do oil rinsing. And I have seen a lot of growth with that. Thank you for this video. Loved it!! Sending you, Tanya and everyone here love and light.
My favorite oils are tea tree; black castor; Shea butter; coconut in a serum. I also use rosemary and aloe Vera plant gel with coconut oil and castor serum on wash day. I have locs and My hair have gotten thicker and longer. I really see the difference in how stronger my hair have become., Thanks you for sharing your knowledge 😊💕
You introduced me to pumpkin Seed oil and ginger Root oil. I've incorporated those along with Ricebarn oil, Soybean oil, Rosemary oil and I love how soothing and healing it is on my scalp. Thanks 😊
Why do many licensed hair stylists say no oils on your scalp? They say oil CANNOT moisturize or seal in moisture, as well as stimulate hair follicles in any phase. So, why are they saying this and what is correct?
That Pattern scalp serum is the best. Another good scalp oil I’ve found is the As I Am olive oil &tea tree salicylic dandruff treatment oil. Both are very helpful for very itchy scalp and sore scalp issues.
I use Pattern's scalp serum treatment and its great. The serum will usually hydrate my scalp for three days, then its time to oil. As I Am itchy scalp oil is good when itchiness is a problem. Belle Bar organics garlic & onion oil is another favorite. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work!
The best oil for my scalp is the Curls Blueberry and Mint scalp treatment. My length doubled in 1 yr because I was consistent with wash day, deep conditioning, and scalp massages.
Nice video! Oil never hurt our scalp when growing up. Oils are in the hairdressers that our parents put on our scalp and hair, and it stayed moisturized until the next wash day, every 2 weeks. Exactly, you don’t need much. My mom let the hair air dry until damp, then greased the scalp & hair lightly and brushed through. And that would be the only product used on wash day. I’m looking forward to trying hairdressers again but, not for my “wash n go”. Peace and blessings! 🙏🏾❤️
Omg that makes so much sense re oiling on clean exfoliated scalp! I usually do it the 2-3 days PRIOR to wash day! Tks for explaining what each oil does, etc… I always learn so much from your vids. ❤
I have a question about the moisture cycle. I’m seeing not to “wet” the hair everyday because it can be damaging to the hair. How was it possible to have hair wet most of the time when folks used to have Jheri curls and the hair wasn’t damaged? Just curious. Thanks.
Ms. Tonya! Honey………You did your thing with this video! Oiling has been coming across my feed for a few weeks now and I was like …No Thank You. It’s not something I or my family is experiencing at the moment . I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU! Your tips; your advice from a Cosmetic Chemist prospective. You are right on time with this video 💃🏽I’m sure a lot of people are grappling with their hair and trying to figure out what to make of all the new and old trends that keeps popping up. Thank you for always keeping it 100 with your new and old subscribers. Your videos and tips are always Super helpful to me and my family. Thank you 🙏🏽 So when’s my next Curly Chemistry hair product going to drop?🤔☺️🥰❤️😂
PREACH. And an amen to that💃🏽Chemist Tonya I would definitely buy her whole hair care line 👏🏽 I’m a science girl first so I appreciate more quantitative as to opinion. Just my preference 1st. Then next, I’ve seen her hair‘Mation (transformation) myself over the years and can appreciate that as well. Prayers up ⬆️ Her steps are ordered🦶. Thanks Chemist Tonya for enlightening, sewing, sharing, and being so generous with your gift 🙏🏾 Sis we appreciate and love ya ❤
I have an oily scalp and manage seborrheic dermatitis. I've been told to avoid applying oil and oil-based products directly on the scalp because it feeds the Malassezia fungus that's more sensitive to those with SD.
I also have severe SD and a dry, tight scalp, but I've found the only way to control it is but applying oil directly on my scalp. What oil(s) do you use?
@@farrahc7055 I don't use oils in my hair routine. There'll be oils in my hair products already and that's enough for my hair. I personally never liked using oils and the oils negatively affecting my scalp wasn't helping lol
I was told this for so long and it really depends on the state of your scalp, you can still have dry scalp and active fungus at the same time. if your fungus is controlled you can oil if it's dry etc
I like JBCO and EVOO used separately. For a hair growth oil for non DIY people I like Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp and Hair strengthening oil. Got it at CVS with a coupon! Has lots of things that I’ve heard on this channel promote hair growth AND a little goes a long way. Not to go off topic but I’m LOVING that cute hairstyle this week on you Tanya.
My favorite oil is my DIY hair oil. Grapeseed Oil is my carrier oil Horsetail Grass, Peppermint, Rosemary, Clove, Thyme, Fenugreek, Castor oil, lemongrass, & evening primrose are my add ins 💕💕💕
My favorite oil for my scalp is the Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil. Fantastic video Thank You for All of the Wonderful Information and Wisdom that you share🥰.
Thank you!!! I love grape seed. My hair only likes dollar tree leave in conditioner. Low porosity hair ingredients glycerin and Shea butter. Only like few ingredients.
Question: How do you keep blow dried hair moisturized. I don't always want to wear my hair in a twist or braid out. I would like to wear it blow dried more often but I don't understand how to keep my scalp and hair moisturized when blow dried. Also how long can in retain moisture blow dried before I need to wash it. Help!
I use my Ayurvedic oil...fenugreek, alma, brahmi, bringraj, henna, aloe,moringa,tulsi,hibiscus n curry..gives me instant relief. After wash day 2nd/3rd day my scalp gets so dry and itchy. Still don’t get it..I’m like it’s clean it shouldn’t be itchy. Going to apply right after DC, thank you for the tip!!
Same here... Try good old grease. It worked growing up until influencers convinced us otherwise. Also some of the ayurvedic herbs cause more dryness over time so I now prefer to drink them as teas. Hibiscus is my favourite
I have a combination oil that incorporated essentials and carrier oils. I use it only on the scalp then I apply the moisturizer (rose water w/ collagen) followed by a butter. Tremendous reduction in breakage and shedding. Thanks CC for these shorts.
I do a DIY mixture of Pumpkin seed, tea tree, peppermint and Rosemary on my scalp as soon as I rinse out my deep conditioner. For sealing I use Black Castor and Olive oil. Question if I oil my scalp once a week is that bad?
It has been reported that grease etc should not be on the scalp. And even the other oils you referenced should be put on the hair shaft. What is your thoughts on this?
Great video Tonya! I primarily use oils for scalp care, growth, and sealing in moisture. I fortunately have not suffered with itchy scalp or dandruff for years. My favorite oils to use are JBCO, coconut oil or sweet almond oil (to prepoo). I also currently have a DIY oil w/Henna Sooq Ayurvedic powder infused w/avocado oil for growth. Koils by Nature and Bask & Bloom each have an oil I have used and liked for scalp care and growth.
I have seborrheic dermatitis and was told not to use too many essential oils by a derm, is there an oil that is good for itchy scalp and hair health? All the hair washing is not helping my hair so any info is appreciated!
I've been experiencing very very itchy scalp; it's in front and at the crown. It starts at night time and I'm trying different things to stop it. Sometimes my scalp gets sore too. @@wannellalawson4001
Ive noticed my scalp doesn't like oil? Is that normal? It gets really itchy after I apply it. I've noticed the best thing for me is to do an oil treatment nd just wash it off. Is that sufficient? Help🥺
I have tried the Kuza hair grease. I don't oil my scalp alot, always forget on wash day. I an trying to come up with a plan so I don't miss a step. Making clove juice and Rosemary rinse as we speak.
Do you have a hair care line? If not, why not!!! I’m not being funny I’m asking because there are so many people on you tube telling us to use this and that, and then a guru comes along and says not to oil your scalp because you have natural sebum that blablabla!!! It just goes on and on back and forth until we don’t know what to do!!! Stop putting salads and fruits in your hair!!! But we trust what you say because you always back up scientifically what ever it is you’re talking about. So if you ever decide to start or teach me I’ll do it with your help, I know that the products would be amazing!!!👀👍🏽😱😃👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🙏🏽 think about it ok!!!
I would be afraid to come up with a product. I use to use wen as a co-wash then lock in the moisture with oil. I never got more compliments than using that. Not everything works for everyone but people are sue happy and now I must pay twice the amount. You could make a product that works for the majority of people but then you still need to deal with lawsuits.
@@timeforchange3786 people usually copy one another as well. I can not find anything on what was the cause of their hair fall from Wen or the FDA. If anyone knows what the FDA found please let me know. Could it be a case of not thoroughly cleansing the scalp. It is a cowash after all. Which is not wens fault entirely. They should put warnings on cowashes saying scalp must be properly clarified. Now that it is known. I loved Wen but I always switch my products around. Same with Divacurl. The girl with the initial Divacurl video had a zillion me-too comments underneath. If I ever made a product I would put warnings like the surgeon general.
Interesting. For me, I had much better luck after I quit using oil on my scalp. It would cause bumps especially on the back of my head. My hair is a lot healthier now. I just use leave in conditioner. Oil was very counter productive for my scalp. Maybe that’s just me though.
I haven’t found the right oil for my scalp just yet. I’ve tried a lot of blends, tea tree, and rosemary. My hair just flakes right up and because very itchy. I plan on trying peppermint next though.
The back of my head get very very itchy, I apply some cold water or a cold hair tea that I made, then 15 mins later apply my hair oil that I made, which contains neem, lemon balm and rosemary infused in sunflower or canola oil, MIRACLE WORKER for sure. I also found that Canola oil is GRRRRREAT for high porosity thick coarse hair, I've been using it for about a month now I love it, it seals/penetrates, softens and adds great shine. I was studying your ebooks last night, I try to read them and test myself at least once a month, I even take notes, like write down add ons, Im trying to start a hair care line
I’ve been looking but I don’t see anyone saying how long should I keep it in is it okay for me to keep it in on my 8hr work shift then shampoo and conditioner when I get home
I just started using Design Essentials Peppermint and Aloe Soothing Scalp Tonic. I have a very dry scalp and I have tried dozens of products. This one is my fav so far. By the way, does drinking water help with dry scalp?
I've noticed that my hair may be in need of "end trimming" since my significant hair growth (no split end just tangling and loose strands at the ends). I do an overnight pre-poo with babassu oil to hair in moisture retaining and softness. As a person with "mixed" hair types...4b in the center, 3b at the back, and probably 4a/b every where else (LOL), I'm always anxious about trimming my ends. Is there a best method for trimming, i.e. blown out and trimmed, or just trimmed without blowing out (but dry)?
Confused now as some say to wash your hair daily to wash off the sebum that sits on our curly hair because it'll clog the pores on our scalp. So when do we reap the benefits of oiling our scalp if we are to wash our hair daily. They even said they've seen faster growth doing that method. But I love oiling my scalp, say 3x a week, plus Asian cultures oil their scalp frequently and they're ok.
I was gonna ask I’ve had problems with my crown for years it’s the coarsest part breaking tangling like damaged kinda hair I make sure l wash the middle part separate from the rest of my hair. I do have low porosity hair but this section is on another level. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong and why it’s this way. I’ve never straightened my hair or used dyes heat none of that can you help in anyway??? Your help would be greatly appreciated 🙏💕
How do you treat a itchy scalp cause by oiling? I have tried several oils s on the scalp and boy does it itch. Please respond because when I oil my daughter hair too she experienced the same thing, excessive itching to the point she says mom don’t put oil on me
I developed an itchy scalp for the first time in my life (28yo) after I moved to the US and was exposed to terribly hard water. One year later, it seems to have become a permanent condition, because my scalp was still itchy even after I spent one month back home, outside the US. Any tips on how to manage itchiness caused by hard water? I've already installed a shower filter that has helped with other symptoms (e.g. my dry hair had suddenly become oily at the roots), but the itchiness is not improving. Would tea tree oil help? Or something else? How and how often to use?
This was Super Helpful! Thank You CurlyChemistry!! Quick Question: Do you recommend sealing your hair with oil after using a gel. I use Ouidad Climate Control Heat and Humidity Stronger Hold Gel after using SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In on my hair. When should I apply an oil to my hair strands during my styling process? Before the gel or after applying gel? 😊🙏🏽
Who (if anyone) should oil their scalp? There's alot of conflicting information on TH-cam University about this. I don't suffer from dandruff or dry scalp flakes. However, I have done a sebum production test where I went 2 weeks without washing my hair and tested my scalp with tissue to see how oily it was. The results was very little, if any sebum residue. As a result think I have low sebum production and my hair growth might benefit from oiling my scalp. However, I've also heard that oiling your scalp can inhibit your body's own natural sebum production. Would I benefit from oiling my scalp? Is their anything I could do to inscrease sebum production? What do you think? This might be a good idea for a video.
@@elizabethroblyn1392 I don't use anything at all on my scalp but I do wash my hair every week. Oil has been very counterproductive to my scalp. It just caused itching and dandruff. I would even dare to say that my hair growth took off once I stopped oiling my scalp.
Thank you for the oil update!! I love argan oil for my hair, it keeps my hair frizz free!! I try to oil my hair 4-5 days a week. My hair gets super dry!! I have high porosity hair.. trying to figure out how to get my hair to retain moisture. Can you please tell me? I ordered both the flashcards and the guide detailing the ingredients in haircare products.
Try grease. The results might surprise you. Many naturals have gone back to using what worked before we started spending so much money on products that dry out hair in 3 days yet grease keeps hair moisturised for much longer
Hello: I started using Rosemary & Mint scalp oil at night. The next day my scalp is dry like it wasn’t oiled. Why is my scalp soaking it up so quickly. Is this good or bad? Do I need to find another oil to use? Thank you.
To answer your question I love Jamaican black castor oil my last relaxer was in July I'm thinking about maybe waiting until next summer before I get another one I want to see how much my hair grows between now and next summer 2023 without a relaxer I was thinking about purchasing the cards for hair care even though I have a consistent hair care routine will the cards benefit me if I'm not natural
Doesn’t moisture come from water? I don’t oil my scalp or hair. The conditioners and moisturizers that I use already contain oils. I also wash, condition and style my hair every 4-5days since my hair usually dries out by then. This works for me but some might need to use oils.
@@CurlyChemistry I’ve just started doing this for my daughter! Her scalp HAS to be oiled daily. Her scalps flakes, bleeds, has an odor, sheds!!! 🤦🏾♀️ Took me years but I’m just now getting it under control with your videos, my education as well as Afope Atoyobi.

Same here... Try good old grease. It worked growing up until influencers convinced us otherwise. Also some of the ayurvedic herbs cause more dryness over time so I now prefer to drink them as teas. Hibiscus is my favourite
Yea tree oil with jojoba is my absolute fav and works so well for my hair
I have a combination oil that incorporated essentials and carrier oils. I use it only on the scalp then I apply the moisturizer (rose water w/ collagen) followed by a butter. Tremendous reduction in breakage and shedding. Thanks CC for these shorts.
I do a DIY mixture of Pumpkin seed, tea tree, peppermint and Rosemary on my scalp as soon as I rinse out my deep conditioner. For sealing I use Black Castor and Olive oil. Question if I oil my scalp once a week is that bad?
How do you remoisturize after your 2 days? Re-wet then add product and oil?
Happy Friday 😊
Happy Friday Queen 🌹 I love ethnic gals miracle oil for my scalp
Love it!
Natural85 oil blend for styling and my own growth oil that I make with avocado oil. Thanks for the video❤️
I’ve never been this early. You look so pretty in this vid.
Thank you! :-)
JBCO!!! Love the video as I always!
Thank you! 💜
It has been reported that grease etc should not be on the scalp. And even the other oils you referenced should be put on the hair shaft. What is your thoughts on this?
Great video Tonya! I primarily use oils for scalp care, growth, and sealing in moisture. I fortunately have not suffered with itchy scalp or dandruff for years. My favorite oils to use are JBCO, coconut oil or sweet almond oil (to prepoo). I also currently have a DIY oil w/Henna Sooq Ayurvedic powder infused w/avocado oil for growth. Koils by Nature and Bask & Bloom each have an oil I have used and liked for scalp care and growth.
I like the DIY aloe Vera oil and pumpkin seed oil
Beautiful combination!
Can you talk about how we can better take care of of skin/ face. What product are good for black skin.
Just arrived for the video...yay!
Yay! Glad you’re here! ☺️
I have seborrheic dermatitis and was told not to use too many essential oils by a derm, is there an oil that is good for itchy scalp and hair health? All the hair washing is not helping my hair so any info is appreciated!
I have itchy scalp. When I washed my scalp feel good but 20 minutes later. My scalp is itchy again
I've been experiencing very very itchy scalp; it's in front and at the crown. It starts at night time and I'm trying different things to stop it.
Sometimes my scalp gets sore too. @@wannellalawson4001
Ive noticed my scalp doesn't like oil? Is that normal? It gets really itchy after I apply it. I've noticed the best thing for me is to do an oil treatment nd just wash it off. Is that sufficient? Help🥺
Yes! That’s fine! Always do what your hair and scalp responds best to. ☺️
@@CurlyChemistry thank you🥺❤
I have tried the Kuza hair grease. I don't oil my scalp alot, always forget on wash day. I an trying to come up with a plan so I don't miss a step. Making clove juice and Rosemary rinse as we speak.
My favorite is Nature's Blessing Pomade
I love the clove oil
I only use oil doing a pre-poo or as a hot oil treatment, grease works better for my hair and on my scalp.
Another great curly chemistry content!!
Please let us know, I need some tender love and care on my scalp. Great Video.
Do you have a hair care line? If not, why not!!! I’m not being funny I’m asking because there are so many people on you tube telling us to use this and that, and then a guru comes along and says not to oil your scalp because you have natural sebum that blablabla!!! It just goes on and on back and forth until we don’t know what to do!!! Stop putting salads and fruits in your hair!!! But we trust what you say because you always back up scientifically what ever it is you’re talking about. So if you ever decide to start or teach me I’ll do it with your help, I know that the products would be amazing!!!👀👍🏽😱😃👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🙏🏽 think about it ok!!!
Aww thank you so much!! And anything is possible! 😉
Like seriously
@@CurlyChemistry didn't you help to come up with Kuza hair grease? I just started using it and I love it. It smells really nice too
I would be afraid to come up with a product. I use to use wen as a co-wash then lock in the moisture with oil. I never got more compliments than using that. Not everything works for everyone but people are sue happy and now I must pay twice the amount. You could make a product that works for the majority of people but then you still need to deal with lawsuits.
@@timeforchange3786 people usually copy one another as well. I can not find anything on what was the cause of their hair fall from Wen or the FDA. If anyone knows what the FDA found please let me know. Could it be a case of not thoroughly cleansing the scalp. It is a cowash after all. Which is not wens fault entirely. They should put warnings on cowashes saying scalp must be properly clarified. Now that it is known. I loved Wen but I always switch my products around. Same with Divacurl. The girl with the initial Divacurl video had a zillion me-too comments underneath. If I ever made a product I would put warnings like the surgeon general.
Interesting. For me, I had much better luck after I quit using oil on my scalp. It would cause bumps especially on the back of my head. My hair is a lot healthier now. I just use leave in conditioner. Oil was very counter productive for my scalp. Maybe that’s just me though.
I haven’t found the right oil for my scalp just yet. I’ve tried a lot of blends, tea tree, and rosemary. My hair just flakes right up and because very itchy. I plan on trying peppermint next though.
The back of my head get very very itchy, I apply some cold water or a cold hair tea that I made, then 15 mins later apply my hair oil that I made, which contains neem, lemon balm and rosemary infused in sunflower or canola oil, MIRACLE WORKER for sure. I also found that Canola oil is GRRRRREAT for high porosity thick coarse hair, I've been using it for about a month now I love it, it seals/penetrates, softens and adds great shine.
I was studying your ebooks last night, I try to read them and test myself at least once a month, I even take notes, like write down add ons, Im trying to start a hair care line
🦋Can having henna-dyed hair and using olaplex...damage hair?
No you should be fine, however everyone’s hair responds differently to everything, so I would space them out between treatments if you could.
Thanks for responding🌿🙏❤️🤲🙂🌿...we seemed to have messed up and trying to fix it
I’ve been looking but I don’t see anyone saying how long should I keep it in is it okay for me to keep it in on my 8hr work shift then shampoo and conditioner when I get home
I just started using Design Essentials Peppermint and Aloe Soothing Scalp Tonic. I have a very dry scalp and I have tried dozens of products. This one is my fav so far. By the way, does drinking water help with dry scalp?
I've noticed that my hair may be in need of "end trimming" since my significant hair growth (no split end just tangling and loose strands at the ends). I do an overnight pre-poo with babassu oil to hair in moisture retaining and softness. As a person with "mixed" hair types...4b in the center, 3b at the back, and probably 4a/b every where else (LOL), I'm always anxious about trimming my ends. Is there a best method for trimming, i.e. blown out and trimmed, or just trimmed without blowing out (but dry)?
Confused now as some say to wash your hair daily to wash off the sebum that sits on our curly hair because it'll clog the pores on our scalp. So when do we reap the benefits of oiling our scalp if we are to wash our hair daily. They even said they've seen faster growth doing that method. But I love oiling my scalp, say 3x a week, plus Asian cultures oil their scalp frequently and they're ok.
I was gonna ask I’ve had problems with my crown for years it’s the coarsest part breaking tangling like damaged kinda hair I make sure l wash the middle part separate from the rest of my hair. I do have low porosity hair but this section is on another level. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong and why it’s this way. I’ve never straightened my hair or used dyes heat none of that can you help in anyway??? Your help would be greatly appreciated 🙏💕
Your videos are high quality content🔥🔥🔥
How do you treat a itchy scalp cause by oiling?
I have tried several oils s on the scalp and boy does it itch. Please respond because when I oil my daughter hair too she experienced the same thing, excessive itching to the point she says mom don’t put oil on me
I developed an itchy scalp for the first time in my life (28yo) after I moved to the US and was exposed to terribly hard water. One year later, it seems to have become a permanent condition, because my scalp was still itchy even after I spent one month back home, outside the US. Any tips on how to manage itchiness caused by hard water? I've already installed a shower filter that has helped with other symptoms (e.g. my dry hair had suddenly become oily at the roots), but the itchiness is not improving. Would tea tree oil help? Or something else? How and how often to use?
Neem oil!
I'd see a dermatologist
This was Super Helpful! Thank You CurlyChemistry!! Quick Question: Do you recommend sealing your hair with oil after using a gel. I use Ouidad Climate Control Heat and Humidity Stronger Hold Gel after using SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In on my hair. When should I apply an oil to my hair strands during my styling process? Before the gel or after applying gel? 😊🙏🏽
My absolute favorite oils are rosemary oil, rosemary essential oil, and carrot oil.
Who (if anyone) should oil their scalp? There's alot of conflicting information on TH-cam University about this. I don't suffer from dandruff or dry scalp flakes. However, I have done a sebum production test where I went 2 weeks without washing my hair and tested my scalp with tissue to see how oily it was. The results was very little, if any sebum residue. As a result think I have low sebum production and my hair growth might benefit from oiling my scalp. However, I've also heard that oiling your scalp can inhibit your body's own natural sebum production. Would I benefit from oiling my scalp? Is their anything I could do to inscrease sebum production? What do you think? This might be a good idea for a video.
I'm confused as well. There seems to be a shift saying oiling the scalp is unnecessary and even inhibiting hair growth.
Listen to her she knows her stuff! I use the pattern serum and Rosemary hydrosol on my wash day and my scalp has never felt better!
is the rosemary hydrosol by Pattern?
Thanks! 😊
My pleasure! ☺️
Can you leave oil on your scalp after washing? What is the best carrier that won't clog pores on an itchy scalp. So far, nothing is really working.
My "dandruff " went away and my hair started to flourish after I stopped oiling my scalp.
Ok but what do you do to moisturize your Scalp? I hve seborrheic dermatitis
@@elizabethroblyn1392 I don't use anything at all on my scalp but I do wash my hair every week. Oil has been very counterproductive to my scalp. It just caused itching and dandruff.
I would even dare to say that my hair growth took off once I stopped oiling my scalp.
I found this too true for me as well… it’s been 6 months and my dandruff problem is no longer a problem
How would I mix castor, peppermint, rosemary, and jojoba oil?
Question so how long do I leave the oil in and how often should I oil my scalp a week
When I put hair oil on my scalp it makes my hair stink no matter how light th oil. So I use a cream based scalp treatment instead instead is that ok?
Is it good to oil your hair and scalp every day for hair growth
Thank you for the oil update!! I love argan oil for my hair, it keeps my hair frizz free!! I try to oil my hair 4-5 days a week. My hair gets super dry!! I have high porosity hair.. trying to figure out how to get my hair to retain moisture. Can you please tell me? I ordered both the flashcards and the guide detailing the ingredients in haircare products.
Do you pre-poo?
Try grease. The results might surprise you. Many naturals have gone back to using what worked before we started spending so much money on products that dry out hair in 3 days yet grease keeps hair moisturised for much longer
Hello: I started using Rosemary & Mint scalp oil at night. The next day my scalp is dry like it wasn’t oiled. Why is my scalp soaking it up so quickly. Is this good or bad? Do I need to find another oil to use? Thank you.
To answer your question I love Jamaican black castor oil my last relaxer was in July I'm thinking about maybe waiting until next summer before I get another one I want to see how much my hair grows between now and next summer 2023 without a relaxer I was thinking about purchasing the cards for hair care even though I have a consistent hair care routine will the cards benefit me if I'm not natural
Should people with seborrheic dermatitis put oil on their scalp?
What are your thoughts on Blueberry & Mint scalp treatment by Curls for low porosity hair?
What about the oil that your scalp naturally produces? Wen I massage my scalp I can feel the oiliness.
Doesn’t moisture come from water? I don’t oil my scalp or hair. The conditioners and moisturizers that I use already contain oils. I also wash, condition and style my hair every 4-5days since my hair usually dries out by then. This works for me but some might need to use oils.
I think my moisture cycle is everyday
That’s okay!! It’s a thing, if it is just stay consistent and also incorporate deep conditioning during your wash days for extra moisture and tlc. ☺️
@@CurlyChemistry I’ve just started doing this for my daughter! Her scalp HAS to be oiled daily. Her scalps flakes, bleeds, has an odor, sheds!!! 🤦🏾♀️ Took me years but I’m just now getting it under control with your videos, my education as well as Afope Atoyobi.
what oils do you think have a high amount of terpens?
All essential oils contain a lot of terpenes. If hair growth is the goal, I would look into peppermint, lavender, rosemary, etc.
@@CurlyChemistry thank you!
