I bought this from kathlina.com during their 30% discount. So, I got it for about 8 dollar.
I have shoulder length of dry dark puffy straight asian hair. On my first time application, I think I put too much (about 2 quarter size on my palm) and my hair looks very oily. However, it makes my hair look radiant black. The smell is like rosemary, not very strong. the best part is that it doesn't weight down my hair. I applied it on for second time about quarter size on my palm. It is not as oily as first day and my hair looks radiant and it is even nicer than my regular Paul Mitchell Leave in Conditioner.
Love it. |

| Thanks for posting. Do you use it only after shampooing your hair, and as a leave-in? |

I like to oil my hair as part of my deep conditioning weekend routine. If you have a chance, can you post the ingredients?
I sooo wish EDS would carry Weleda products.  |

Thank you, rebelgirl. Another item on my wish list, along with a wish for more $ to actually order soon! 
ETA: [knocking hand on head] I forgot that Weleda isn't carried at EDS yet But a girl can hope, right?  |

| I also use the Weleda hair oil on my lengths. It's very nice. Not too smelly, but must be used sparingly or it will be greasy. |

| It can only be used as leave in... after shampooing and conditioning. I think it's more fit for thin hair and dry hair person because it can get greasy easily if you use too much of it. |

So if I have dry hair but thick, then I should not use it? |

| I've used this oil before and liked it. I used it as a hair treatment - slathered it on my hair - pulled my hair back, kept it on all day and then washed it out at night. It's great as an intensive treatment for occasional use. My hair is way too fine to use this on a daily basis; even a drop of it would make my hair really greasy. |

I actually have never used it as a leave-in. I use it before shampooing and conditioning and get great results. You CAN use it as a treatment before, as well as after.  |

| Cherisse, my hair is fairly thick (and dry at the ends), and the Weleda hair oil works really well for me. If the air is very dry (like during the winter) I just use a bit more or apply more frequently. |

I got thick and dry hair, too, esp at the ends. I tried this oil last night, and I was not wowing over the results. So I have to come back to this thread to read again what people are suggesting. Do you all put it on after your hair is dry? I put it on when my hair was semi-dry after shampoo/conditioner session. I put very little (remembering someone posting about its being greasy), and then I blowdried my hair. |

| You need to put a good amount depending on your hair length. I saw your pic and you have about over shoulder length, so about a size of a quarter (diameter of 3 cm circle) would do well. |

Hehehe you might have seen my picture from 5/2006, and my current length is chin-length where it's shortest (bangs), and the longest length in the back is touching my waist.
Do you put yours on dry hair, or semi-dry? Do you leave it in or rinse it out? |

I would really like to try this product; I wish that it didn't have peanut oil in it because my daughter is allergic.  I wonder why they would use peanut oil as a base when there are so many other choices available and so many people have a peanut allergy. |

I have to revise my earlier post. I am happy with the results because I just went to the bathroom and saw that my hair was behaving today. NO frizzes. It finally looks like the typical Asian hair that I often see on the Sunsilk shampoo commercial. Ok, not that silky, but close enough for me. YEAH! |

I didn't notice that, but I hope not. I like my hair a little less dark since I used to have pitch-black hair. But now after so much sun, it has got some mahogany color in it when the sun shines on it. I can't wait till my next wash with the TJs shampoo/conditioner where I will go through the whole routine similar to the first time I washed with that shampoo, and then I will add Weleda Oil to the mix at the end. |

| well, it goes away after another wash. I think it's more of the shiny that emphasize the hair color. |

| I wonder if I would still get a good result if I were to buy rosemary oil and mix it with jojoba oil. Somehow I don't really like the peanut oil as a base. Also I tried it again last night and used a lot this time and left it on overnight before washing it off this morning. I mixed it with coconut oil, too. I didn't get a very good result today. So sad! |

I think that's a great idea. You just have to know how many drops of rosemary oil to add. You could make a small amount to start and see how you go.
Here's a recipe from my aromatherapy book as a guide to quantities.
To stimulate hair growth
50 ml jojoba oil
rosemary 10 drops
bay 8 drops
cedarwood 7 drops
There's a few recipes in my book and the ratios are all between 20-25 drops of essential oil to 50 ml of base oil.
Don't worry if you've only got rosemary that's fine. Aromatherapy books are like cookbooks always a bit more complicated

Thank you! This is very helpful. I ordered Rosemary and Lavender EO on Friday from nandaoils.com along with Helichrysum EO (this one for my stretch marks). I can't wait to try it. Is there any oil that will make hair softer and more bouncy other than rosemary? |
