Sorry, I wasn't sure where to post this. Anyway, I've been putting sunflower oil in my hair. I love how it makes my hair feel! My hair becomes so much less frizzy and in shiny. MY question is: Is sunflower oil as good as coconut oil for the hair? I've been researching, and I've found that sunflower oil contains linoleic acid, one of the EFA's. And it's also a triglyceride like coconut oil. But does it get absorbed into the hair like coconut oil will? The reason I ask is because I can't stand the smell of coconut oil on my hair. There's coconut oil everywhere here in the Phils. It makes me think of food and we put it on our dogs's fur. It's also used to remove dandruff, what we call "balakubak".

Does anyone also use this for their hair? Can I mix in other essential oils to make it smell nice (like lavender?) thanks!
