Oil Pre-Shampoo or Pre-Wash (And how to make it work for YOUR hair)
If your hair is at all porous - even just a tiny, little bit, if it ever gets tangly or poofy or frizzy and seems like it needs weight, if washing it makes it seem to float in the air or if the ends of your hair seem to get wispy and disappear, oil pre-wash treatments can help. Oil pre-wash treatments add flexibility, softness and "weight" to hair. And when you think of "well moisturized" hair, you are referring to a number of qualities, two of which are flexibility and softness.
Here's the deal:
You know how washing your hands too often makes them chapped - even if you don't use soap? Washing your hair ultimately dehydrates it too unless your hair is tremendously low porosity. By that I mean the cuticles are un-damaged and in such pristine condition that they don't let water in at all. Porosity is a surface thing. Oils have other great effects like making hair soft and flexible - those are partly related to porosity. Even low porosity hair can get dried out with too much washing or dry air or a lot of sunshine.
Any oil will keep the water out of your hair for a little while and that is great. Many oils can surround any chipped and broken places in your hairs cuticle covering, giving you better protection.
Hair-penetrating oils are ideal for some people's hair because they "waterproof" the inner part of your hair that swells. If we can keep water from getting into our hair and swelling it up, it won't end up waterlogged and the cuticles will chip off less and we'll keep our lovely proteins and everything that keeps out hair strong from escaping down the drain.
My top picks for oil pre-washes:
Coconut oil, sunflower oil, babassu oil, olive oil, avocado oil, a blend of these oils and any others. Castor oil is a distinct "maybe."
Oils go on dry hair! For an oil pre-wash treatment, apply oil directly to your dry hair. That gives you more control over distribution than wet hair and the oils can penetrate without water getting "in the way." It's okay if you have some conditioner or styling product in your hair.
Not every oil and every application volume is right for everybody!
Coconut oil is great for hair that usually feels dry or rarely feels soft. Coconut or palm kernel oil - the serious hair-penetrating oils are ideal for hair that is not easily weighed down. Babassu oil is a good penetrating oil for hair that is easily weighed down. Think of hair-penetrating oils as "active ingredients." Some hair needs full-strength hair-penetrating oil.
Butters are good in moderation for hair that needs a thick, creamy, heavy pre-wash treatment. Butters can build up on hair - feeling waxy or making the hair get dry almost immediately after getting out of the shower. Trial and error!
If your hair is easily weighed down, hair-penetrating oils need to be blended into other oils so they don't overwhelm your hair. Lesser-strength, but still active! If that still doesn't work for you, then light oils such as grapeseed may work.
Your hair's response will tell you which oils are too heavy, too "light" or just right. Don't worry about what works for somebody else or what you've been told or even what you expect to work. Try different things. Use what works for you.
A conditioner containing oils can work too.
How Much Oil?
Some people can use lots of oil - so much their hair looks greasy. This is likely to be porous hair that feels dry and acts brittle, soaks up lots of conditioner without getting greasy or limp.
Others need to use enough oil to make the hair shine, maybe look and feel a little more heavy than usual and needing to be washed. This might be you if your hair is normal porosity and porous on the ends - but not necessarily every time you use an oil pre-wash.
If it always feels like oils sit on top of your hair, you may need just a little bit of oil for a pre-wash. Enough to add a little bit of shine - but no more.
This recipe works very well on my medium-width hair that is mostly normal porosity but is weighed down by coconut oil alone. It contains hair penetrating oils that penetrate deeply, oils that penetrate shallowly, and some just to add lubrication.
Hair gets crunchy or stiff or brittle with coconut oil?
I'm in this group. Some people get crunchy or brittle hair or rigid hair from coconut oil with it's unusual fatty acid profile - high in triglycerides. Triglycerides are linked to glycerol, they're not your basic fat. It's part of the stuff that clogs up your arteries if you eat a lot of carbs and sugar. If I use coconut oil alone, my hair gets sort of rigid. My solution is to blend coconut oil with other oils or to use a different oil like sunflower oil or babassu oil.
How much to use and how long to leave on?
Some people need to use enough oil to make their hair feel oily. Sometimes you only need use enough to add a hint of sheen to your hair. Concentrate on areas that are exposed to the elements - the ends and the top layer of hair. If using a lot of oil doesn't work, try using less or vice versa. If you are using a hair-penetrating oil to help protect your hair from swelling and drying out when washed - leave the oil on for 4 to 8 hours or longer before washing. Most oils are better left on for a little while when you have the time. Hair-penetrating oils need time to "soak in" deeply and other oils can use some extra time to spread throughout your hair and seep in around broken cuticles.
To heat or not to heat:
Oils become more fluid with heat and less fluid with cold. Some heat will help oils spread throughout your hair evenly. Gently heat also increases porosity slightly so that oils can move around and under cuticles more readily.
How to provide gentle heat without drying your hair? Don't blast your oiled hair with a hot hair dryer, that will probably be more dehydrating than helpful. Instead, wrap your hair with a plastic cap or plastic bag and put on a warm hat, wrap your hair with a warmed wet towel, sit under a hooded dryer or use a hair dryer on a temperature that is comfortable to your skin.
Application tip: To use mere drops of oil, put 1-2 or 3 drops in your palm and spread it a little. Rub your fingertips lightly in the oil and stroke over the ends of your hair with your fingertips. Then re-dip your fingertips in the oil in your palm and stroke over the hair a little farther up from the ends. Then rub your palms together and smooth the remaining oil (really your palms are barely shiny at this point) over the surface of your hair.
Don't write off oils forever because they don't work for you in one way. Try other approaches!
If you want the oil to penetrate your hair (assuming you've used some amount of hair-penetrating oils), leave it on for anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 or 8 or 12 hours or an entire day. If you take morning showers - apply it the night before (as long as you don't have any itchy or flaky scalp problems). If you take night showers - just wear it in your hair all day under a styling product or tied back and up.
You need to experiment with time too. Maybe you have the best results from a longer or shorter time with the oil on your hair. Just because the research says the best results were achieved from leaving coconut oil on your hair for 8-12 hours does not mean you will like that result in your hair! If you have chronic itchy scalp problems, you are better off not having excess oils on your poor scalp overnight.
Washing out:
Sometimes you need to wash twice to remove excess oil if you've used a lot. I do that with a dilute shampoo so removing the oil doesn't do more harm than good.
Some people don't need to use shampoo at all, just apply conditioner and they're good to go or else conditioner-wash. That's great.
Ideally, you want a balance between using enough oil to give you a good result without having to use a large handful of shampoo to de-grease your hair.
How often to use:
Once you find an oil and an amount of oil and a length of treatment that works for you; use the oil treatment as often as fits your hair's needs.
If your hair always feels dry and/or inflexible, you might use an oil pre-wash every time you wash. If that starts to weigh your hair down or leaves it feeling unpleasant, use it less often or change the amount of oil you used or length of time you left it on.
If you have a specific result you achieve from an oil pre-wash, do an oil pre-wash when your hair loses the benefits of the last oil pre-wash.
If your hair is seriously dehydrated from a chemical treatment (coloring, highlighting, perms, relaxing) or from a lot of swimming or time in the sun or dry wind - that's a great time for an oil pre-wash.
If your hair tends to get too flyaway, that's time for an oil pre-wash.
Noticing more tangling than usual? When was the last time you did an oil pre-wash?
Planning to do a protein treatment and you have medium to coarse hair? Oil pre-wash before you use the protein.
Once you know how to make oil pre-washes work for you, your hair's behavior, feel and appearance will tell you when you need one.
If your hair ends up limp or too heavy after an oil pre-shampoo, it may have been too soon, or the wrong oil, or too much, or left on too long...
Won't this weigh my curls/waves/straight hair down? No! Not if you do it right. Getting it right takes some practice. If you find that oil treatments give your curly or wavy hair nice definition (or make your straight hair less flyaway), but also make it lose its bounce - follow up an oil treatment with a protein-containing product to put the bounce back. Assuming your hair gets along with protein. Oils soften, protein supports.
Does this moisturize your hair? Technically no - oils are free of moisture (water) but oil pre-wash treatments can help your hair stay better moisturized (better hydrated), here's how: Hair-penetrating oils make normal porosity hair or porous hair or hair with porous ends get through wetting and washing without swelling in water and becoming dehydrated. If hair is not dehydrated - then what is it? Hydrated! Hooray for cheap and easy solutions.
Take home message: Oil pre-shampoo treatments are a great way to keep your hair hydrated (moisturized) throughout the washing process! It can add weight to help with frizz and keep curls or waves defined and straight hair nice and swing-y.
By choosing your oils (full-strength penetrating oils or a blend), the time the oil is on your hair, the amount of oil you apply, and how you remove it you can create a multitude of different effects in your hair and hopefully one of them will be right for you.

I pre-shampooed my hair with coconut oil for ~30-45 mins and it made my hair soft, voluminous and moisturized when I washed it with an herbal shampoo. BUT it only lasted for a 3 days. How can I make it last longer, say a whole week?
ReplyDeleteRepliesthe ends and the top layer of hair. If using a lot of oil doesn't work, try using less or vice versa. If you are using a hair-penetrating oil to help protect your hair from swelling and drying out when washed coconut oil
Hi Kerchi,
If you are wanting the oil treatment's effects to last a week and you're only washing your hair once per week, that may be too much to expect. But if you washed your hair during that week, you may need to repeat the coconut oil treatment more often. Your goal is less-frequent oil treatments - but you may need to do the coconut oil treatment more frequently for 2-3 weeks before you can reduce the frequency and retain the benefit you mentioned for a longer time. Short-term investment for longer-term benefits.- Replies
Hello Sheryll,
Oil should go on dry hair so it can spread well and soak in if you're using a hair penetrating oil. But even if you're using an oil that doesn't "soak in" - oils still go on dry hair because oil and water don't mix - so wet hair is more difficult to distribute oil on. Unless you're using lots and lots!
If the hair is a week old from a wash and go with hair gel such as kinky curly curling custard , or any curl defining gel.
would the oil be able to penetrate through the hair gel?RepliesHello Tjenelle1,
Yes! Oils should be able to penetrate through a gel like Kinky Curly Curling Custard (or any other curl defining gel). It's probably wise to allow the oil a little more time just to be on the safe side.
Think of it this way - if you spread a little gel on a light-colored shirt and let it dry, and then put a drop of oil over the gel - you would end up with an oil stain on your shirt regardless of the gel.
[Sorry if I double post, I clicked something pre-preemptively and I don't know what lolol] I read about oil pre-washes in an Ayurveda book some time ago and used that info to decide to try sesame oil for my hair type. It worked wonders! Coconut and olive oils, which everyone I knew loved, really sucked for me, but hair typing according to Ayurveda saved me from giving up :D I've also read more into the usefulness of double shampooing lately, which I always avoided before. I think that will help me to continue with my current favorite washing method - a mix of rye flour+water. A single wash wasn't removing oil well enough, though otherwise I find this works incredibly well. I want a rinse for hard water buildup (used vinegar for ages, but it's too drying) still but I remember pre-oiling helped with that a lot in the past so I'm nerd excited to try again.
Hot oil pre wash treatments tend to leave my hair gunky/sticky feeling. I usually use mostly olive oil with a dab of coconut and/or avocado oil. I put a lot on dry hair put on shower cap and let it sit for ~1hr. I wash 2-3x with my usual sulfate free shampoo (shea moisture). How can I keep doing oil treatments without my hair feeling gunky afterwards? New oils, stronger shampoo, don't use as much oil? Also I'm relaxed.RepliesHello Naimah,
If you are washing twice and your hair still feels gunky, you are probably using too much oil. The solution to that is to use less oil! If you were using a stronger shampoo, the oil should wash out in the first wash, though for people who like their hair really clean, a second wash with a milder shampoo or a diluted shampoo should get the job done. With Shea Moisture shampoo, if the only detergent is decyl (or lauryl) glucoside or decyl (or lauryl) polyglucose, those detergents are not the best de-greasers and 2 shampooings may be necessary for all but the lightest of oil treatments. Although I know people who use conditioner to wash out oil treatments, so I'm leaning towards you needing less oil or needing to switch oils...
It's also possible that your hair does not get along well with coconut oil. When that happens, hair can feel rigid, stiff, tacky, brittle, crunchy, or waxy. In that case, avoid coconut oil and use olive or sunflower oil or avocado oil instead.
I only have information about heat improving penetration for a limited number of oils.
Heat will improve penetration of coconut oil and sunflower oil but not olive oil. I can't make a good guess for avocado oil.
You might try leaving the oils on longer. It takes about 6 to 8 or 12 hours to get the oils to penetrate the hair. You can speed it up with heat, but the best result will be from a little more time with oil on your hair and some heat at the beginning or end to speed things up.
I have two questions for you. 1. If I pre-shampoo overnight with a mixture of avocado, coconut and olive oils, when I go to wash, do I rinse all the oil out of my hair completely before I shampoo? Or should I just wet my hair a little bit and then shampoo? 2. Should I do an oil pre-shampoo (overnight) before I clarify? I ask because clarifying shampoos strip everything out of the hair so I just wondered if the pre-shampooing would be beneficial on my clarifying days (once a month).RepliesHello Natural Gyal,
For question 1: I like to wet my hair (with the oil in it) first to help the shampoo spread around evenly and easily. If you're using large amounts of oil, you might want to wet it only a little bit so the water doesn't dilute the shampoo too much, but then it seems like it might be efficient to use a little less oil rather than more shampoo.
2) Oil pre-wash treatment before clarifying? Probably better to clarify on hair without oil in it. Oil on hair can repel water a little while and can buffer against shampoo and when you use a clarifying shampoo (or a chelating one for hard water), you want the shampoo to have contact with whatever you're trying to remove and oil reduces its effectiveness. But it's worth trying a clarifying wash with and without an oil pre-treatment to see if the *overall effect* is better with or without the oil.
Good luck!Thank you so much for responding! I forgot to ask you another question. I suffer from a very bad dry/itchy scalp. I've tried everything and nothing works. Doctors cannot pinpoint what is causing the itchiness. Do you recommend an overnight pre-poo with the avocado, coconut and olive oils/tea tree and jojoba mix (to scalp only) and then about 30 minutes before I wash I add the Shea Moisture African Black Soap Purification Masque? I've read many positive reviews about the Masque providing relief from itchiness. Do you think it will be beneficial for me as far as the oils providing their moisturizing properties if I add the Masque and then eventually shampoo everything out? I have to shampoo my hair every week due to the itchiness (I use a natural sulfate free moisturizing shampoo). I will still follow with my regular wash day routine, which includes a moisturizing conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-ins, etc.
Do you any other recommendations for relieving itchy scalp?The links here are not active - you'll need to copy and paste.
I know of people who use an overnight oil treatment with tea tree oil for itchy scalp with successful (but not permanent) results. I would avoid using olive oil because it can be a little more irritating thanks to the high oleic acid. This blog post describes how much tea tree oil to use http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/itchy-scalp-some-easy-remedies.html. There are some more remedies here: http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-ideas-for-itchy-scalp.html
However, if you're very sensitive - an overnight oil treatment might make things worse and tea tree oil itself can be an irritant. So you might play it safe and give that treatment a short trial (leave the oil on for 15 to 30 minutes) the first time to be sure your scalp is okay with all these ingredients. Rosemary essential oil can also work and smells very different than tea tree oil.
Shea Moisture African Black Soap Purification Masque uses kaolin clay and salicylic acid - good ingredients for some itchy scalps.
Your description of your itchy scalp makes me wonder a few things. I wonder if you might be sensitive to some ingredients in products. Some people go for years being sensitive or allergic to preservatives or fragrances or whatever - and don't know it until they start trying to pin down irritants and avoid them. Sensitivity and allergy can cause everything from oiliness to dryness to dandruff and painful little bumps.
Some people with eczema elsewhere on their body cannot tolerate plain oils on their skin, but do okay with creamy skin lotions - also have the same experience with their scalps.
Some ingredients are great for dry scalps are not oils, like humectants (panthenol, glycerin, sodium PCA, hydroxypropyltrimonium honey, propanediol, polyquaternium-7, aloe). These ingredients may reduce irritation in skin. You might need a cleanser and conditioner that is well-balanced - so it contains some oils and conditioners and ingredients like the ones listed in the parentheses to reduce irritation on your scalp and help your skin retain moisture. Sometimes it makes a huge difference for itching to get those scalp-soothing ingredients in products. A less-irritated scalp can heal and protect itself better.
Topical hydrocortisone (find products with this ingredient here:http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/medicated-shampoos-and-conditioners-for.html) can be very helpful for itchy scalp.
Some people who have nearly year-round allergies (dust mites, dogs and cats, molds) have more itching. It may be aggravated by fungi that normally live on our scalps - or not. And if you've had long-term itchy scalp, you're *so much more likely to notice* than somebody who has it rarely! In that case, antihistamines or a trip to an allergist for extra help, might help reduce the itching.
Lots of us with itchy scalps need to use medicated treatments and in the last post linked above, there are lots of treatments for itchy scalp and one (or more) of those might work for you. I'll copy that link: http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/medicated-shampoos-and-conditioners-for.html
Good luck!Thank you for responding! I just have an update for you: I went to a Dermatologist and she said I have mild Seborrheic Dermatitis. I honestly don't believe so because all I experience is itching of my scalp. I believe the flaking (very minimal) I have is due to the dry winter/cold weather. In fact, since I washed my hair last week Sunday, I haven't seen any dryness (I washed again yesterday). I honestly believe the itching is due to a product I'm using or even something I'm eating (as you mentioned in the previous post). I just can't pinpoint what it is. I've seen an allergist who tested me and my hair products but he couldn't come up with anything either. I think it may be that one ingredient. The dermatologist prescribed Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo. I've only used it twice so I can't say if its working yet but the itching is still there.
I've been natural for about 8 years but always (every 2 weeks) got Domininican Blowouts. As you can imagine, I have extreme heat damage. I decide to embark on my Healthy Hair Journey and go on a "No Heat Challenge." I started transitioning from heat damage as of April 12. I know its just the beginning and there are long days ahead, but I'm going to try my best to take care of my hair.
I do have one more question for you: due to extreme heat styling, of course as expected I have breakage. What I did notice over the past 6 months or so is a lot of shedding. When I used to wear my hair straight, I would see hair falling out when I come it or wrap it at night. Hair would be in the scrunchie if I take down a ponytail. If I hold my hair and just slightly pull, hair would be coming out. It's still happening. Yesterday I did a hot oil treatment (with coconut, castor, avocado and a few drops of rosemary-as you suggested) for 30 minutes under a bonnet dryer). I followed my routine. While I was washing, hair was coming out. After I deep conditioned, same thing. When I was air drying, I touched my ends and hair would just come out. When it came to styling, I brushed my hair to put it in a bun. I put the scrunchie and same thing. Hair stuck in it and dropping out. I spoke to the Dermatologist and was advised that we shed between 50-100 hairs a day. I still don't think my shedding is not normal because it comes out by simply touching. I fixed it this morning and same thing. I don't have any bald spots or patches. Its not coming out in clumps but I'm still worried because I don't think its normal. I did protein treatments but I don't think they work or maybe I need to continue doing them. I am anemic but I take Iron Tablets (90mg), a Mutli and Vitamin D everyday. I eat a lot of vegetables and an ample amount of protein everyday. I would consider myself very health conscious. My hair is a good length (shoulder blade), but its thin and its always been that way. The hair shedding may have been happening for a long time but I just didn't pay attention before so since I am now, I would like to keep it under control.
My question to you is: do you think I should increase protein treatments? Like every other week? Or is that too much? I plan on alternating between: Shescenit Okra Reconstructor (medium protein), Hydratherma Naturals (medium/light) and Shea Moisture Yucca and Baoba Masque (medium/light). I would start with the Shescenit first because it is stronger and always follow all of them with a moisturizing deep conditioner. I did the Aphogee 2 Step in February but no change.
Thank you in advance. Sorry for the long post. I'm just worried.Natural Gyal - good to hear from you again. Sorry you're still having trouble! If your shedding is worse than it has been in the past, then it's probably something to be concerned about. When hair is straight - we see the hairs coming out vs. when more curly or styled they tend not to come out until detangling. But scalp problems can cause hair to shed more than normal.
There are 2 things that might be going on. Maybe both are happening. 1) Your hair may be shedding a little more than it should because your scalp is still irritated. 2) Your hair may be shedding more than it should because there is friction between the strands.
Controlling friction between the strands is manageable. You might mix a fair amount of oil into your rinse-out conditioner to give it more slipperiness to add to the slip from your deep conditioning.
You might try an anti-itch, irritation-reducing product with hydrocotrisone like Scalpicin 2-in-1 just to see if the itching can be controlled. You might even try it on half of your head so you can decide if it's helping or not.
If there is an ingredient that is irritating your scalp, those don't always get caught in skin tests - there are so many fragrances and conditioning ingredients that could irritate sensitive skin. One approach is to try a fragrance-free, really basic product for a while to see if any of the itching improves. Another approach is just to try products with different fragrances, different preservatives to see if there is less itching with different products. If you have any hair products from a time when you had no itching, and they still do not bother your scalp - compare ingredients and see what is different.
Another thought is that you may have a sensitivity to the ingredients in the Dominican Blowout. It doesn't have to be products you apply to your hair regularly - once your scalp is irritated, it can stay irritated for a long time. Have you asked the stylist if you can patch-test the product on your wrist or behind an ear? Usually they will let you do that, but if they don't seem clear about how - call the dermatologist and ask them how a patch test should be done.
Protein every other week or even every week is okay for fine, medium - and even slightly coarse hair if it is porous. If your hair is coarse, it might react to too much protein with *increased shedding* or a stiff feeling. If you're unsure, it's best to use proteins like hydrolyzed keratin or hydrolyzed collagen and avoid larger ones like soy or wheat. The Shescenit product contains keratin and also soy and rice protein. This combination is okay if you know your hair tolerates protein well. But if your hair sometimes reacts badly, you might want a product with just keratin like Shea Moisture Noni & Monoi Smooth & repair Rinse Out Conditioner to limit the protein size to smaller proteins and conditioning proteins. If you use protein and notice shedding afterwards - you might actually need to make a different protein choice or a less concentrated-protein product. Aphogee 2-Step is probably medium-size proteins and very concentrated - a strong treatment. Sometimes breakage requires more than 1 protein treatment to see a difference. But you're talking about shedding, not breakage. So maybe you need to go with proteins that make your hair feel good and hydrated. And if you get that "stiff or tangly" result, back off on the protein. Check the "Managing Porosity and Elasticity" post - it's over on the right side bar as a "popular post" for ideas to manage those things.
I hope that helps! Good luck.
What do you think of Sweet Almond as a pre-poo? I currently mix coconut/avocado/8 drops of rosemary. Its been 4 months since I contacted you and I'm thinking Coconut Oil may be causing my hair to look like hay once its dry (I only use it a as a pre-poo and shampoo after so I'm not sure). I clarified last week and didn't pre-poo but still had the hay like effect, but the leave in I use, As I Am, has coconut as an ingredient.
Also, which oil do you think is best for sealing fine/thin hair? Grapseed, Jojoba or Sweet Almond? To refresh your memory, I am transitioning from major heat damage so my ends (basically fried/damaged is how I can describe them) are dry as a desert. I know I will have to cut them off but I still want to seal.
Last question: We previously spoke about shedding. I went to my Doctor and did ALOT of tests. Everything came back fine. Not medically related. She did prescribe the Ketoconozale 2% for the itching (which I still think is due to an allergy--nobody can figure out what though) and I've been using it on my scalp for 4 months. I read it helps with hair loss (shedding). Is that true? My shedding is still alot in my opinion. I went to a Carol's Daughter store and the lady there told me its the Heat Damaged hair "leaving my head because its dead" and I shouldn't worry because it will stop. What is your take on this? Can this be true and the reason for my shedding?
Thanks in advance.RepliesSorry about the coconut oil problem! It's not common - but it's not uncommon either - to have coconut oil cause dry hair or brittle hair or stiff, crunchy hair.
For sealing fine, thin hair I think grapeseed or sweet almond are both good choices. Jojoba can be a little tricky if your hair is picky about oils. It might work, but if it were me, it wouldn't be my first choice. Grapeseed oil is a little "lighter" than sweet almond oil - it flows easily, it doesn't have an especially oily feel. Some people call it a "drying" or astringent oil - when you rub a drop on your skin, it doesn't stay oily for long. That could be a good thing or not, depending on what result you want.
I have known a couple people who had a lot of shedding because of coconut oil use! Friction between hairs such as from heat damage, from product use, from inadequate lubrication or even (for some people) from using more protein than is good for hair, can cause whole-hair shedding instead of or in addition to breakage. A good plan might be to avoid coconut oil and give your hair whatever it responds well to as often as it seems to need it and see what happens with the shedding. If it is reduced - the coconut oil may have been a big problem.
Sweet almond oil and sunflower oils are good oils to use for penetration and good lubrication and your hair probably needs plenty of that as pre-poo treatments and in sealing.
As for the dead hair comment - all hair is non-living tissue. But I think the woman at Carol's Daughter was saying the same thing that I'm saying - the heat damage may be causing hairs to come out or breakage. But I think if a person wants that to stop, they need to lubricate their hair well, make sure they're keeping it hydrated with some good moisturizers like aloe or flax or protein for those whose hair gets along with protein.
"Allergy scalp" is a problem. It can itch for no visible reason. Topical hydrocortisone helps. Sometimes sulfur helps - or high-sulfur clays for clay washes. Sulfur is a mild anti-inflammatory. If the scalp is irritated, hair will shed more than usual. People with airborne allergies (pollen, mold spores, dust mites) tend to need to wash their hair more often to remove allergens. But a allergen-proof pillow cover doesn't hurt. Searching for products that correlate with less itching is a chore - but worth it. For some sensitive scalps - conditioning ingredients (including pearly shampoos) can be an irritant.
Good luck!
Hi there. My hair is: Coarse-Medium Texture with Normal to low Porosity. It is also highlighted. Do you suggest that I use an overnight coconut oil treatment the evening before I get the highlights?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHello Leigh,
Have you used coconut oil before? I'm asking because sometimes people have not-so-good reactions to coconut oil and I had never used it before, I'd be hesitant to try it for the first time right before doing highlights.
If you're familiar with how your hair responds to coconut oil - then yes - go for it! A coconut oil treatment the evening before getting highlights should help balance out the porosity in your hair and prevent the more-porous areas from taking up the bleach more than the rest of your hair. It may buffer your hair against the bleach - and that's a good thing.
If you're not familiar with how your hair responds to coconut oil, try the same treatment plan on an evening when you're not going to do highlights so you can be sure you don't get brittle or stiff hair from the coconut oil.
Highlights with heat tend to make hair more porous - so you can also use coconut oil treatments (or sunflower or avocado oil) as maintenance to keep the highlighted hair from becoming dry or less elastic or losing its wave pattern (it looks like you have waves or curls).
With some medium texture in the coarse hair-protein may also be helpful before highlighting or for maintenance after highlighting to keep elasticity and hydration at their best.
Good luck!
Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes I have used coconut oil before with good results. When you say protein, so you mean a strong treatment like Apogee 2-step; or do you mean proteins in products like conditioners?RepliesProbably something more like protein in conditioners. Aphogee 2-step can actually be modified to be less strong by not using high heat (not blow-drying it until it's stiff like the directions indicate), and instead just leaving it on for a few minutes with gentle heat.
But usually it's safer to use something like a conditioner with protein unless you're certain you get good results from strong protein treatments like Aphogee 2-step.
There are a lot of great benefits to using coconut oil on the hair. However, it could have a drying effect on my hair if I use too much of it. And I try to avoid using it during the summer. The summer heat will bake the coconut oil into my hair. If I do use it, I dilute it with another oil. I do use it on my skin everyday. It makes my skin look amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi!! I am loosing a lot of hair daily, by the handfuls. I just started using Coconut Oil and Olive Oil together. How long do I leave on the coconut and olive oil before washing them off?? Or which oils r best for my hair loss??
ReplyDeleteRepliesI have several posts you might want to read about some causes of hair loss: Iron and Vitamin D related hair loss, product-related or friction-related hair loss and seasonal hair loss (which should be slowing down now, by late December). They are here (copy and paste the URL) http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/hair-loss-posts.html
Other causes of hair loss can be sudden, severe physical stress (illness, surgery), post-partum hair loss, taking new medications or stopping old medications, thyroid disease, autoimmune disease (including alopecia). So those things need to be ruled out and I imagine you're working on that already.
Coconut oil can sometimes promote breakage - some people's hair will get stiff or crunchy or brittle when using coconut oil, so watch out for that. I think it may be more common in low porosity hair (chemically un-treated, un-damaged hair).
So all that aside, if your hair is damaged or very dry, leave your coconut/olive oil mixture on for at least 6-8 hours or longer so there is plenty of time to soak in. It will continue to soak in as long as you leave it on - i.e. 12 hours or longer.
If you're unsure about coconut oil, you might try sunflower oil, which also penetrates the hair quite well, but may not cause any odd reactions. All liquid oils give hair good lubrication which is helpful for reducing friction-related shedding. Good luck!
Hello, just found your blog and I'm really enjoying how informative your posts are! Question: I'd like to try sunflower oil as a pre-wash treatment as I am one of those for whom coconut oil works horribly. Does it matter what kind of sunflower oil I use for this purpose? I have both high-linoleic and high-oleic sunflower oils in my stash because I use the former for makeup removal. But I wonder if the latter would be better for the hair since it's supposedly richer?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHello Shayo,
I would definitely try both sunflower oils that you already have. I suspect the high-oleic oil might penetrate a little bit better, but I don't know how much higher it is in oleic acid than usual - maybe not. Be sure to leave it on for plenty of time so it can penetrate (8-12 hours or longer if you can). For lower-porosity hair, the result usually isn't very remarkable but when hair is somewhat porous (even if just the ends are), it should be noticeable. Sunflower oil is one of my favorite treatments
Background: I have 2 articles with conflicting information - one says sunflower oil does not penetrate hair although their results show that bleached hair (damaged hair, porous hair) certainly did lose less protein when treated with both coconut oil and sunflower oil. Protein loss in water is one way to measure whether too much water is getting into hair too quickly. Penetrating oils reduce protein loss, which means porous hair isn't taking on too much water, too quickly - thus penetrating oils manage porosity.
The other article which says sunflower oil does penetrate the hair measured the reflectivity of oils on the surface of hair. As the oil soaks in, it reflects less light - something you can see when you first apply oil and it looks shiny, but hours later, it looks dull. They also measured the force required to extract the oils and for sunflower and coconut oil, it becomes more difficult to extract the oil (after 24 hours in this case) because it soaks in.
So really, the more damaged the hair or the more porous it is, the greater effect oils like sunflower have on your hair. Good luck!
Hello! Discovered your fantastic blog today! I'm just getting to grips with understanding the science and feel that the answer to my very sad hair could be in here.
A description of my hair: It's naturally straight(ish!) with some frizz, very long, down to my belly button, and has become super thin, full of split ends and dry. I have very lengthy (10inches) 'baby' hairs at the nap of my neck, not sure if that is an indicator of anything. My scalp does get a little itchy and flaky. Probably encouraged by using dry shampoo on day three onwards after a wash.
I have recently switched to this sulphate/parabin free shampoo:
And this conditioner recommended for not being loaded with too many sulphates and parabens - http://www.boots.com/en/Pantene-Aqua-Light-Conditioner-360ml_1330249/
It has been unmanageable for awhile now and probably just needs a good cut....which I don't want to do. I find it difficult to style and switched to these products to try to stop it being so lank and getting greasy so quickly. I would love to get some bounce back.
I wash it maybe once a week, occasionally twice. I rarely blow dry or use heat, but it has been coloured in the past. Since switching to these products is has become less greasy, but is super static and the ends feel even dryer than before.
In trying to digest some of the science, I think my ends are porous and may do well with a penetrating oil treatment. I have coconut oil (currently solid, because it's so cold in the UK right now!) so am thinking to rub a tiny amount into the bottom 6 - 8inches, leave for a few hours and then wash out.
Am I on the right track? Let me know if you need any more info!
Very much appreciative of any feedback, and thank you for such an informative blog :)I just wanted to thank you for doing all of this research to demystify the whole curly hair care thing. Any time I'm wondering what might work or not work on my hair, I check your blog for an article about it. I tried pre-pooing with coconut oil after reading this and it made such a huge difference. My hair is so much bouncier after washing it now. I had heard of it before, but your post is what made me understand that my porous hair in particular would need this and what it does. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello! I just wanted to know what all oils are suitable for ny type of hair?
My hair description: i am basically an Indian, i have black hair which is highlighted and they turn really dry. I occasionally go for blow dry/hair ironing when needed, else i pretty much air dry my hair. My hairs become really really frizzt after drying up and i have this dandruff problem which gets aggravates due to sweating (my scalp sweats due to kind of weather in India)
I have used coconut oil in the past, but I havent seen any noticeable change in my hair texture. I prefer to use a concoction of oil before shampooing, like I use a mixture of coconut-olive- rosemary- and few drops of castor oil. I generally keep it overnight, but at times i go for an hour or so. I use Schwarzkopf products for my hair as advised by my hairstylist, and my hair fall has reduced a lot, but I dont know what to do with this itchy scalp and flakiness. Even after shampooing my scalp feels irritated and itchy. Please suggest me something. Thanks in advance :)Hello!
First of all, thanks for writing such informative stuffs and helping troubled people like us.
Now, I am an Indian, and the water provided is hard. I have medical conditions too like hypothyroidism & PCOD. I am facing a lot of trouble with my hair recently. I always oil my hair with a concoction of coconut-olive-castor-rosemary and leave it overnight and wash off in the morning. Sometimes i'll keep the oils in my hair for an hour or so and wash off. I have a really itchy scalp and flakiness. But no significant hairfall is seen. Yes, i do have hair loss but it doesnt freak me out much.
Description abt my hair: Its till my shoulder, frizzy, highlighted, looks dry, lacks lustre n sheen. Its basically frizzy and this causes hairfall. I have tried using silk pillow cover but it didnt help much. I am actually much more concerned about gettinf rid of this itchiness, because my scalp remains irritated even after washing.
I use Schwarzkopf shampoo and conditioner as suggested by my hairdresser, and these have reduced my hairfall to an extent. But still itchiness persists. Once a week I go for argan oil hair pack by organix, but that makes my hair more frizzy and it flies in the air. I can never ever leave my hair open, not even in my wildeat dreams. Please, suggest me something. It'll be really kind of u. Thanks. :)RepliesHello Indrani,
If coconut oil does not work, you might try sunflower oil or olive oil instead. I like to mix oils too, but if I use a single oil, it is sunflower oil.
For your itchy scalp, you might have an allergy to a shampoo or conditioner or a sensitivity to a product. Or you may have a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis. There is a tab at the top of this page "Products for Itchy, Flaky or Bumpy Scalps" which lists products available in the US for itchy scalps, the active ingredients (the medicine) should be the same where you live, even if the products you can buy are different. Schwartzkopf makes some dandruff treatments which might help your itchy scalp.
If products make your hair more frizzy - your hair is not getting along with those products. It might need protein (or to avoid protein), or the conditioning ingredients might be making your hair a little too soft and light-weight. I hope that helps!Thanks a lot for replying! I'd really want to know about some protein based masque or conditioner that might reduce the frizziness. And I'd really appreciate a light weight oil for application and which will reduce my dandruff. I actually remembered that post my hair spa I started getting this severe dandruff, before this my hair and scalp was okay and had very less dandruff. Can u also suggest me something which can help me with scalp build up? Thanks :)
DeleteSearch this blog for "Itchy scalp" and you will find some recipes for using essential oils mixed with other oils for treating dandruff - the essential oils can have a mild anti-fungal or anti-bacterial effect. Usually oils make dandruff worse unless you are using a treatment to manage the dandruff.
Hair cleansers (shampoo, cleansing conditioners) help remove scalp build up (oils, dead skin). If shampoo makes your hair or scalp dry, use a few drops of shampoo diluted in some water to make it less strong.
I don't know what protein products are available to you. There is a recipe on this blog for a gelatin protein treatment, as well as a beer protein rinse. On the page with "Products by Ingredient Category" there is a list of products which contain protein.
I have fine curly/wavy hair and oily skin and scalp. I saw this thing on pinterest about rubbing oil into your face once a week (for oily skin, 25% olive to 75% castor oil) and to use a gentle soap (castile mixed with chamomile tea, olive, lavender and vitamin E oil is what I made), and since I've been doing that for the last couple months, my skin has felt balanced and I don't break out anymore. Anyway, I thought, why not use this oil mixture as a prepoo too? I added about 8 drops of lavender EO to it for scent and other benefits, massaged it into my scalp for about 5 minutes, then saturated my hair, let it sit under a satin sleeping cap for about an hour, then shampooed. Burts bees very volumizing has some wheat protein in it for thickening. My hair was so shiny, soft, bouncy and curly that day, can't wait for my next "spa day"! Just wanted to share my experience, maybe others can benefit from it too. :)
ReplyDeleteSomething to watch out for though is acne. Conditioners and oil treatments that may be wonderful for your hair may also aggravate acne if you're prone to it - coconut oil is the most notorious for this.
Always wrap or pin your hair up during any treatments or masks; I find that a soft cotton headband is enough to catch any runoff. Washing your body after your hair will remove any oil or conditioner that ran off or splattered as well.I am a English woman who had a black father. my hair colour is natural auburn, and european plus mixed race,so very frizzy, its very dry with kinks, I have been using coconut oil every week pre wash for about 18 months, but has now become very crunchy, brittle, so I stopped using the coconut oil as I read I may have protein overload, Iv been washing with protein free shampoo, deep conditioning weekly with protein free conditioner, and using the hot head heat cap but it doesn't seem to make any difference, my hair is still very dry, and the conditioner just seems to sit on the top. would you recommend trying a different pre wash oil, but Im not sure if all the protein is out yet....Help
ReplyDeleteRepliesA belated hello,
That does sound like a bad reaction to coconut oil. Coconut oil does not contain protein, although it does prevent porous hair from losing protein when it gets wet, that is not the same chemically or physically as using a product with hydrolyzed protein. Some hair that does not tolerate coconut oil actually does well with proteins.
A different pre-wash oil sounds like a good idea - sunflower or avocado or olive oil are good choices. Try different treatment times for the oil also. Some hair (i.e. lower porosity hair) needs only 4 or 5 hours to get an optimal result, other hair needs 8 to 12 hours to show a benefit.
If that does not work, if you can find a rinse-out conditioner with some amino acids or hydrolyzed silk protein or hydrolyzed keratin protein, you might try that for hydration. Don't leave it on too long, just a few minutes to begin with. Sometimes those smaller proteins work when nothing else is working. Not every wash day - but when all else fails.
If you have hard water, it might help to use a treatment to reduce mineral residue, which can also cause a brittle, rigid feeling which compounds the problem you're having with the coconut oil. Products are listed here and there is a recipe for a citric acid rinse: http://science-yhairblog.blogspot.com/2016/03/hard-water-and-your-hair.html
I hope that helps!
I have very very very very baby fine hair. My ends get very 'floaty' and just sort of mist around the end of my hair but my roots go greasy very quickly. Anything can weigh my hair down, the finest mist of hairspray. I think my problem is not helped by the fact that I have some growing out bleach highlights at the last 3 inches so the idea of a solution by way of an oil pre-shampoo is attractive but I am hesitant to try as I don't believe it will help the overall body of my hair. Can you suggest an oil I could try, how I might apply it, how long I might leave it in and how I should remove it without undoing the process?RepliesHello,
You might try some coconut, sunflower, avocado or olive oil but ONLY on the highlighted area on the ends of your hair. A light application - make the hair on the ends feel heavier, smoother and add a little shine. Maybe look a little dirty or like they really need washing. I think I would leave it on for at least 6 hours, longer if the lightened ends are dry or break easily.
If you got it just right on the first try, any excess oil will wash out using whatever you usually use to wash your hair. Leaving the ends less floaty. It's not easy to get it exactly right on the first try - so if your hair still feels oily on the ends, have a cup ready and dilute some shampoo with water so you have sudsy water and wash the ends again with that.
Another thought is that Hydrolyzed proteins tend to be great for fine, floaty hair. It can add some weight and support and "substance" to fine hair without weighing it down too much. I think you'd lean towards "protein reconstructors" to get a good dose of protein without an overly heavy conditioning product. Protein is great for highlighted ends too - those would get an extra generous application of a protein treatment.
Good luck! W

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.30 / 5.00 4,247 ViewsThis is a project I made for a contest (results of that below). There's no battles or dialogue and the story is for you to interpret. If you don't like that sort of movie, this entry probably won't change your mind. But if you can tolerate a lack of violence and swearing, please take a look. I put about 2 months work into this, I hope you enjoy it. Medium viewing quality recommended.
Info on my next project - Dual Arms Verbatim Pt 1 is available on my user page.
If you review, I always appreciate constructive criticism. I'd especially like some opinions on the music (which I made with garage band). Thanks.
Edit: Woot! Daily 3rd! Thx NG, you guys r awesome!
Edit 2: Contest results: There were several categories (ie. not film/animation) and aroung 70,000 contestants. This movie was awarded an award of merit in the film/ animation category - one of 3 given out (and 1 grand prize). In short, I didn't win outright, but I got somewhere around 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place, out of several thousand entrants. You guys are the ones who saw it first though, so thanks for your support!
Love the art, and the open interpretation. All of the door scenes remind me of Kansas's The Wall which is an epic song. It's rather sad that in today's society being "different" is looked down upon, and having an imagination is a superfluous to your TV watching (or blankly staring) skill.
I LOVE IT! the art was awesome. i cant belive how much i love this. i think the point behind it was even better then the flash its self. (and thats saying something) 5/5 10/10 fav
just one of the best works of art on this site, simply incredible. I only gave you a nine because of the ending. You have a great imagination, its a gift. Use it wiseley.
very good
Its good to have flash movies who's goal is not violance and swearing. there should be also more flash movies that can be viewed by all ages. in my opnion. so you get all 10 stars and the song it was okay is just those songs are not much of my taste but it whas good :)

Types of Metabase Properties
The isolation mode that is configured for your IIS application affects the way some properties behave, as described below.
Application-level properties, when set, apply to the entire application regardless of the isolation mode in which your IIS server is running. Setting an application-level property in one location does not affect the entire application pool (see individual property topics for exceptions).
The following properties are application-level properties:
Process-level properties only have an effect on IIS behavior if they are set at the service level (for both isolation modes), or at the server level (for IIS 5.0 isolation mode, if the application is set to High isolation).
IIS 5.1 and earlier: Process-level properties only have an effect on IIS behavior if they are set at the server level and if the application is set to High isolation.
The property pages might list other locations where IIS allows you to set these properties, but they have no effect on IIS behavior.

9 Things You Should Never Say to Someone Who Eats Gluten-Free
Just because they can't eat bread doesn't mean they don't have feelings
So many people are avoiding gluten these days. And as they'll gladly tell you, a lot of the things you're saying to them (or asking them) about their eating habits aren't exactly appreciated. Check out the nine things you'll want to stop saying to people who don't eat gluten ASAP.
"I tried some gluten-free bread once, and it was disgusting."
"Are you really allergic, though, or are you just on a diet?"
"Do you want one of these cookies? Oh, wait, sorry…"
"Have you just tried eating gluten, though?"
"I would literally die if I couldn't eat gluten."
"You can just eat the salad portion of dinner, right?"
"But you don't need to lose any weight!"
"What really happens to you if you eat gluten, though?"
"What can you eat?!"

Routes / Re: Options for crossing the plains from New Roads, LA to Taos, NM
« on: February 05, 2016, 09:49:36 am »Unlike litespeed, I have found Louisiana easy to ride in. The routes I have used have been 95% NON ACA routes but the drivers were always nice. In fact, when leaving NO and heading north toward Baton Rouge (west side of river), we kept waving the drivers around us as they would be happy to just sit behind us until it was REALLY clear. Interestingly, the further north we got, the worse it got. By the time we were back in Oklahoma, we had our "normal" impatient, slightly aggressive drivers. All 4 of us on that tour agreed with that view.
I personally would not try to deal with going through the Dallas/FT Worth metroplex. As always, in May, follow the local's lead in dealing with severe storms & a tornado. The weather stations can make a gentle spring rain sound like Noah's Flood is coming. If a tornado is around, they make it sound like you are better off just to kill yourself and get it over with as you are surely going to die in the tornado. If the sky gets greenish however, take cover as hail is coming very soon.
If you take a "northern" route, the route between Mayhill, NM and Las Cruces is nice but does have a 8,600' pass which will be quite cool in May. You might be able to camp at White Sands NM but you will have to push the bike off the road a ways.
If you take the "southern" route, I highly suggest you break off at Marathon and do the Big Bend area and then ride along the Rio Grande up to Presidio. Note, there are a couple of very steep hills and you will need to keep an eye on supplies, especially water, but there are tons of Border Patrol trucks buzzing around so you can always request water from them.
Hope you enjoy your trip! John

I enjoy one every summer. They are delicious and creamy, made even better if you get yourself some fries and dip them in it. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it :) The combo of sweet and salty is so so good. I look forward to my summer indulgence every year!
My all time favorite treat! I have always loved this product. Please don't think I'm a weirdo.. but I dip my fries in it sometimes. hahaha! it's the most bizarre thing to do.. I know!!
Anyway, this product is not very sweet and just the right taste of chocolate. I never leave Wendy's without Frosty. There are days that I just go to Wendy's for frosty!
I love this dessert!!! Whenever I go to Wendy's I always have to have one!! Its so creamy and good and cold; even on a chilly day outside! It's just plain good!! I would recommend to all!!
Wendy's Frosties are awesome. They are thick, frothy and a great additional to a burger. My favorite flavour is Vanilla, but I would love some new tropical tasting varieties like Kiwi and Pineapple.
Love the chocolate flavour. A small is a good size. It doesn't melt quickly. It's thick. I would have frosty's in the summer. If I wasn't lactose intolerant I would still be eating frosty's.
The small chocolate frosty from Wendy's is a good price (being on the value menu) for the summer months as a frozen treat to enjoy on a budget!
I think it is average tasting, nothing too special, but it does cool you down and give you that sweet chocolate taste on a hot sunny summer days (esp. ones we have been having lately)
It keeps consistent in texture, smooth, doesn't melt too fast, and is not overwhelming sweet.
Usually not one for frosty's, but since close to the office and good price once again on value menu I will enjoy . Especially when a cold chocolate craving comes over me :)
Wendy's frosties are pretty good - kind of like an old fashioned malt, but not as thick or rich. They come in chocolate or vanilla - I personally ALWAYS get the chocolate! I know that you can add mix-ins to your frosty as well (things like m&ms;, oreo pieces etc) but I have never tried the mix-ins, the frosty is enough of a treat on its own, in my opinion!
Of all the fast food places ice cream treats, this is by far our family's favorite. The vanilla is dreamy , creamy and yummy. Especially good in the summer when they are $.99 for a small Frosty! Sometimes we will just go through the drive-through at Wendys to get one of these, so delicious:)
I enjoy the wendys vanilla frosty, but not so much the chocolate frosty...
I found it to be off in taste, not enough genuine chocolate taste...to me it tasted like vanilla frosty dipped in chocolate, but not an actual chocolate icecream taste.
I love chocolate icecream, but with wendy's frosty I do not like to eat them.
They're not too sweet which is good, but otherwise the lack of good chocolate taste disappoints me and I don't enjoy.
ON a hot summer sunny day, for the price of a vanilla plain frosty, the price is great and taste is simple and to the point - vanilla!
It is simple, yet a good snack if craving something cold, not too sweet, and good in taste and while on a budget. You can add your own syrup or topping to make it your own variety. I like to add some chocolate sauce on top, otherwise frosty makes a cool snack on a hot summer day!!

David Chick, 36, has been wearing a Spiderman suit while demonstrating against being denied access to his daughter.
Speaking over a walkie-talkie to the Evening Standard, he told for the first time that he had convictions for possession of drugs but denied being a drug-user.
Mr Chick said he has picked the symbolic time of 3.12pm to end his protest, after which he will be arrested for aggravated trespass and causing a public nuisance. "My daughter was born on the 15 December 2000 so I will be coming down at 15.12 precisely," said Mr Chick.
His protest, which began on Friday, has been backed by the Fathers4Justice group. They had expected him to stay up until the weekend but he made his announcement after police decided to reopen all roads in the area.
His stunt caused misery for drivers, who found themselves in 10-mile tailbacks on approach roads to the City.
Police have now reopened Tower Bridge and all surrounding roads, with the exception of St Katharine's Way. As well as costing business an estimated £50 million, he has left the police with a £10,000-a-day bill.
Mr Chick's brother Steven Reed, 38, said his brother had been in trouble with police when he was with his partner and was caught with drugs.
He said: "I'm not sure what it was, but David took the rap for it. I guess he was trying to protect her."
Mr Reed said his brother met partner Joanna five years ago when they lived above one another in flats in Guildford. The couple had a three-year relationship and their daughter was born in the last year they were together.
"Their relationship broke down when Joanna began suffering post-natal depression," said Mr Reed.
"David has not seen his daughter for about eight months. He believed Joanna was suffering from post-natal depression. He tried to convince her to get help and they ended up having a trial separation. But when he went back to the house all the locks had been changed.
"Joanna and my brother had a cleaning business together. But when they broke up he lost everything."
Mr Reed said his brother had gone to the courts to get access to his daughter and the court order was laid down allowing him to see her once a fortnight.
"But in the last eight months Joanna made excuses not to let him see her," said Mr Reed. "She would say she was tired or ill or the baby was ill and just wouldn't turn up."
Mr Reed also said his brother's ex-partner had made several accusations of domestic abuse against him but that these were never substantiated. "I know my brother and he would never raise his hand to a woman. All he wants is to spend time with his daughter."

Le Caprice
we ate at Le Caprice last saturday and this was my second visit to this restaurant. After having an excellent meal on my birthday last year we decided to make a return visit this year and i'm glad we did. The food and service were excellent as before and the whole experience was made all the more pleasant by the fact that they do not allow smoking any more [my only complaint last time around]. standout dish was the crisp duck and watercress salad! a really delicious and unpretentious lunch. 5 stars.

Liquidity requirements LCR and NSFR are being phased in globally
Read more: liquidity securities finance Basel III
Most major banks have sufficient lines of liquidity in place to meet two key ratios according to the latest Basel III monitoring report.
Figures published this week show that 87.9% of large international banks already met or exceeded the final LCR minimum requirement at the end of June last year.
LCR, short for the liquidity coverage ratio, was introduced see whether a bank could survive a 30-day liquidity shock set at a fairly extreme level.
It requires banks to maintain a stock of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA).
A ratio of 60% was set in 2015, increased to 70% in 2016 and will continue to rise in equal annual steps to reach 100% in 2019.
The gradual phase-in has led to an increase in various types of structured transactions to help extend short-term cash-flow projections beyond the prescribed regulatory metrics.
Securities lending with maturity terms, collateral upgrades and swaps transactions are among them.
The second liquidity standard, NSFR, is a longer-term structural ratio that addresses liquidity mismatches and provides incentives for banks to use stable sources to fund their activities.
Banks have until the start of 2018 to meet the NSFR standard. The proposed US rule has same January 1 effective date.
In its latest report, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) said that 84% of major banks already exceeded the 100% ratio with a weighted average NSFR of 114% at the end of June.
The aggregate NSFR shortfall for major banks below the 100% NSFR requirement was €108.6bn compared to €234.5bn in December 2015.
Last year the ICMA said impact of the NSFR, if simply adopted exactly as outlined by the Basel Committee, would create significant additional stress and weaken the effectiveness of the repo market; and, given their interwoven relationship, the collateral market.
Netting of repo and reverse repo for purposes of the NSFR has been an area of ambiguity since the NSFR was first proposed.
Earlier this week the Basel Committee issued the second set of frequently asked questions and answers on NSFR providing some clarity by approving netting of securities financing transactions in certain circumstances.

Regardless of your feel on the illegal immigration, his statement has brought lots of viability to the issue.
And besides, I thought his t-shirt should have said, "I just look like Fidal Castro" .

Philosophy Lexicon of Arguments | |||
Element relation, element relationship: the existence of a number within a set. In the broader sense the existence of an object (urelement) within a set. The element relation is to be distinguished from the subset relation. See also sets, classes, subsets, elements, set theory, empty set, universal class, paradoxes. | |||
Author | Item | Excerpt | Meta data |
Quine, Willard Van Orman Books on Amazon |
Element Relation | IX 23 Element relation/identity/classes/individuals: "ε" before individuals has the property of "=". --- IX 113 ff Definition element relation/ordinal: "E" stands for "{ : y ε z}". Ru: y is a number, but not z (z must be a quantity). Pair of number and quantity, also the number is part of the quantity. If this is true, it is an e-relation - E should arrange the ordinals. --- IX 119 Element relation/ordinals/Quine: here, "e" means "smaller" - interchangeable with "contains" with respect to ordinals - therefore x U {x} is the next ordinal after x if there are still ordinals behind x at all - it is not sufficient to meet the element conditions to belong to a class - the existence is necessary - proof of "NO ε ϑ ((s) the class of ordinals does not exist"). - It is now obvious: if NO existed, 23.9 and 24.3 (see above) would be a contradiction to 23.7 -> paradoxon of Burali-Forti. --- IX 219 Element relation/Epsilon/induction/Quine: the primitive predicate "ε" divides the determination of classes (a) behind the Epsilon into the requirement of having elements and (b) in front of the epsilon into the requirement of being an element. Problem of Induction: always one with the existence of classes that have been used only for the requirement (a) - Induction: in order to derive it from the definition of n we need a class {x:Fx} or N n {x: Fx} or {x:x <= z u ~Fx} as a value of a variable of this definition and this is a variable that stands only on the right hand side of "ε". |
