Howdy, good to meet you! For me rinse-out oil helped more to combat frizz than leave-in oil did.
Mostly lurker here. I’m between BSL and WL. I have been using Virtue healing oil because it was given to me. It like on lengths and ends because it doesn’t make my hair greasy and smells great - maybe only semi takes frizz though. Though I love the property of not making my hair instantly too greasy to wear down, I don’t really think it is doing anything for my hair. I’m looking to tame frizz and keep it hydrated between washes. Ideas?
Context:
Yes I have some highlights/bleach.
I sleep on silk and have silk cap.
90% of the time I air dry and comb only after dry.
Yes I’ve tried to see if the ever so slight wave is actually wavy hair but it really isn’t. I had stick straight hair until 40 (47 now).
I use redken s&c and olaplex 6 on those occasions I use a detangle comb through damp hair.
I wash every 2-3 days.
I’m not married to my routine nor products but want to care for the bit of bleach in there.
A million thanks in advance!!!!!

I like camellia oil, but like shelomit, I tend to use it during the wash rather than as a leave in. I use just one drop (my hair is around MBL not very thick) and I put it in after I have rinsed out the shampoo, and before adding conditioner, then rinse them out together.
I often use babassu oil as well, but I apply that to dry hair for a couple of hours before washing. I find these oils and methods don’t cause build up on my hair, and don’t weigh it down.
I second pre-poo oil. Really helps cut down on frizz for me. I saturate my hair in coconut oil before washing. I also do CWC to keep the shampoo off my length. It's never oily or weighed down.
I use a few drops of jojoba oil as a last step overtop a cream (and sometimes mousse). Using the more penetrating oils seem to weigh my hair down too much, so I use those as a pre-shampoo (mainly olive oil or coconut oil). Maybe a light weight leave-in spray would do better for what you’re looking for?

I do the rinse out oil method mostly, occasionally I will smooth a few drops of baby oil through dry hair as well. My hair is fine and cobwebby in texture.

If a routine works for you... I would not mess with it. Oh, me too. There was a time I started questioning every little thing I did. The ingredients of stuff. The way I did things, even how and when I combed/brushed my hair. All this to say, if something works, don't question it, just go with it, stick with it, and be happy. Picture perfect hair is a pipe dream, honestly, it is!
Thank you everyone!
I don't agree. I have made changs in working routines and changed products and found a routine and products that work even better for me.
I don't know where you live. But I love NightBloomings oils, detanglig spray and products in general. https://www.nightblooming.com/shop/
