Oil Cocktail

Upon leaving my hair appointment, my loctitian told me to use a few key items on my new baby locs-oil for 'moisture' and sea breeze 'cleansing' and dry scalp. Man oh man, my scalp is THIRSTY! I had to reformulate my oil cocktail mixture, since it ran out some time ago. I forgot the essentials that I used when I was relaxed, but here is the version that I am using right now. (This was what I had lying around my bathroom).

Equal Parts (about 1/4 cup)
Amla (Ayurvedic Oil from Indian Amla Plant)
Vatika (Enriched Indian Coconut Oil)
Sweet Almond
EVOO
Grapseed

Back in the day, I used to SWEAR by Keracare Essential Oils for the Hair. Everytime I smell it I think of the hair salon and my perfect roller sets and up-do's! The ingrediants on the label include Sunflower Seed, Peanut, Castor, Coconut, Jojoba, Sesame, Aloe Vera, Almond and Olive oils. I have made a vow NOT to purchase any more hair products for the month of April. After I've used a good portion of my homemade cocktail, I'll add some of the other essentials that I just posted. Wish me luck!

So do you still recommend the KeraCare Essential oil for natural hair? I saw on the essence hair gallery that this product should be a staple. Do you agree???
