Favorite hair oil& why

**mzlbcmami** · April 27th, 2015, 09:55 PM

I'm reading about different oils and there are just so many! Too many to keep track of. I love different oils like castor oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, amla oil etc....
I know where are so many more so I am wondering:
1. What's your favorite oil?
2. What is it supposed to do ?
3. Why is it your favorite oil ?
4. How do you use it?

Thanks in advance!

My favorite is coconut oil and olive oil simply because I always have those two oils in the house for cooking. They're also the two oils that are supposed to actually penetrate the hair strand, so I feel like those make the most sense for a treatment and not just sealing. I use these oils with the ROO method and sometimes I mix them together and heat them up and do a heavy pree poo treatment. I have grapeseed and it's good as a sealing leave in, but I mostly use that one on my face.

What's the ROO method?

Rinse out oil.

1. What's your favorite oil?: Baby oil!
2. What is it supposed to do ?: Retain moisture in hair, reduce static (at least from what I remember), add slip, reduce tangles.
3. Why is it your favorite oil ?: It's cheap, the bottle lasts for a long time, and it gets the job done without the hassle of taking a long time to rinse it out
4. How do you use it?: I apply baby oil after I wash my hair when it is still wet. I apply 4-5 drops onto my palms, rub my hands together, then run my hands through my hair over and over again.

Almond oil is by far my favorite. I tried to make coconut oil work for my hair, but my hair is just too protein sensitive so it ends up feeling dry and brittle. I use almond oil as a leave in after I get out of the shower so my hair is smooth and shiny when it dries. I only need to use a few drops for my whole head or else it can get greasy fairly quickly.

Dang I remember using that. It smells so good it. I didn't know it had benefits though.

Yes baby oil has lots of plus sides to it! I just recently used it on my skin to help it get some extra moisture.

My hair loathes coconut oil. Makes me hair dry and makes my scalp irritated.

My favorite oil is argan, dubbed a miracle oil in the middle east. It is very nourishing to skin hair and nails! It leaves my hair hydrated, defrizzed, and glossy without weighing it down. I also use argan oil on my skin for intense moisturizing. I put a few drops into the palm of my hand, run my hands together to spread it out and warm it up and work it through wet detangled hair, if my ends are frizzy after drying I'll put another pump into my hand and focus on smoothing the ends out. The preparation I use is free of silicones, parabens, fragrance, coloring and preservatives!

1. What's your favorite oil?
My favourite is castor oil.

2. What is it supposed to do ?
It has antifungal properties, helps in regorwing hair (its touted as a miracle hairline recovery oil in the AA forms), and supposedly makes hair thicker. Its also a humectant of sorts

3. Why is it your favorite oil ?
It keeps moisture in my hair for longer and makes it easier to detangle.

4. How do you use it?
I use it after washing to seal in moisture, I also use it for scalp massages. SOmetimes I mix it with my deep conditioner to boost its properties
