do you add it directly to the bottle or add some to your hair before conditioning??? I'm thinking about adding some olive oil or jojoba oil to my 10 in 1 but I dont know if I should just add it to the container or in my hair before conditioning. Can you ladies let me know what you do? Thanks in advance. :confused:

when im using my olive oil cholesterol, i'll add some drops of hollywood beauty oil to the conditioner and leave it on as a baggie for a while..it really leaves my hair soft and only a little oil is needed after i rinse it out..

so basically i add it to the conditioner and then to my hair after- although since i always use oil on my hair some remnants may be left in my hair before then...
 
I will usually put the olive oil in the product and mix it but I never thought to just put the oil on my hair after the conditioner?! Same results I'm guessing.
 
Girl YES!!! I whipped up a batch of 10 en 1 w/EVOO and honey. I made it on friday night, and used it on my daughter it came out really nice and moistured, oiled both scalp and hair w/o leaving it oily. On sunday I used on myself, letting it sit for a few days advice of Divine Inspiration if I'm correct, and it was even better. It's like a Hot oil treatment, and DC/protein treatment all in one. I think if I keep this up I won't need to use a clear rinse for shine, along w/my ACV rinse.

BWE, I'm glad this worked out for you!!! I knew I wasn't crazy...it really does work better!
To answer the OP, I mix mine in a mixing bowl like it's color. I apply it to stubborn new growth with a coloring brush then use my hand to slather it through the length and concentrate it on the ends.
I'll bump the thread that BWE was referring to, but basically I was saying that I mix my concoction on say Saturday morning and let it sit in the microwave (to keep it from molding/spoiling) until Sunday evening or Monday when I'm ready to poo/DC. I noticed that my con was SOOO much more effective when I was doing this so I asked if anyone else was doin it too.

As far as the oil is concerned, I like EVOO (heavy oil) or Aceite 3 (light oil). I tried jojoba oil in the DC once and it just didn't seem as effective. The EVOO really infuses my hair and gives it elasticity. The Aceite 3 is light and stays on my hair for days after the poo/DC and it gives me hair MEGA shine.

HTH... :D
 
I will add a little to the conditioner that I am about to put in my hair (e.g. a dollop of conditioner in my hand...I pour a little EVOO/Botanic Oil in my hand rub together and apply to my hair). I sometimes add to the whole bottle. That works well too-generally I reserve that for Mane 'N Tail Conditioner and my S-Curl. Those are the only two that I add oil to in the actual bottle.
 
I added some shea butter oil to my Miss Key 10 in 1. I'm going to use it this weekend and hopefully I get some great results. Last week when I washed my hair it was very dull. Hopefully the oil in the conditioner will add some luster to my hair.
 
It varies for me! I will either, add the oil directly to the bottle of conditioner or mix them together in a different container.
 
I usually do one of the following
1. mix it in a cup with the conditioner
2. put the oil in my hair first, then put the conditioner on.
 
I put my conditioner in first, then apply my oils to the last few inches of my hair, put on a cap and sit under the dryer.

Hola!:wave:
I can't complain...been keeping busy. Still discovering the many uses of DDTA (works great as a creme rinse). Congrats on still being on the Xmas stretch. My hair wants to be just like yours when it grows up...lol.
