Best oil for fine hair?

[Locksmith]

I would suggest sweet almond oil, or jojoba oil. Both are lighter than coconut oil.

Really? I find jojoba weighs down my hair a lot more than coconut. Isn't it interesting how heads of hair differ?

Jojoba weighs my fine hair down, too. Coconut is just okay as a leave in, but a couple of drops of camellia oil on the ends when about half dry after a wash makes a "wow" of difference in my fine hair!

It really is try and try again until you find the right oil for your hair. Good luck!

I'm just jumping in to mention argan oil. It's very lightweight and I find it's one of the few that I can use without getting the greasies. It's very expensive, but it does last a long time.

Failing that, I prefer either grapeseed oil or coconut oil, both of which can be very reasonably priced.

I'm a fine hair head too, and I like using 1-2 drops of apricot oil when I need to get the flyaways back in place. It smells nice and doesn't weigh my hair down.
Coconut oil works well too but it is a little tricky on my hair; if I accidentally use a little too much, some strands tend to clump together.
Another nice oil is violet oil. This one is a little interesting; it is so light that it's almost volatile. I generally use it in mister bottle mixes.

Ooh, I've heard good things about camellia oil, but I don't know anythiing about it. Is it expensive?

Camellia oil is nice on finer hair. I have a blend of fine, medium and coarse strands.

I dont like oil. It just makes me oily. I like to use butters. I use a mixture of cocoa butter, shea butter and a little coconut oil. I melt them all together and then put in the fridge to harden. I think this works much better for me.

As for leave in conditioner, I like one by Aveeno. It's in a spray bottle and has wheat proteins in it. My fine hair likes it - I usually just use it mainly on the ends.

I second argan oil. If you get the kind for cooking, it's not all that expensive. I pay 16 euros for a 500ml bottle in the bio supermarket.

Jojoba is fantasic for fine hair, it is quickly absorbed.

Vegi oil works to, but leave it overnight.

Same with sunflower, and olive. they might not smell rosey, but leaving them in is a great way to atain high gloss and conditioning.

I'm not sure about coconut though..
