    Default Favorite oil, and what kind of oilings do you do?

    What is your favorite oil to use?

    When do you use it- daily oiling, deep conditioning, etc?

    My favorite oils right now are probably coconut and Triple Moon oil, but I mostly use the Triple Moon oil now. I usually oil every day lightly. I will occasionally deep oil with coconut prior to a henna treatment.

    The oils I have for my hair are coconut, EVOO and avocado. I put coconut on my ends after I wash it but tried a tiny tiny amount of both avo mixed with coconut today and I really liked that. For a deep oiling I mix all three, but have done EVOO on it's own. Oiling my ends has been far better than using cones, which I don't use now. I'm not sure though which is my "favourite" oil. What's triple moon oil?

    My favourite oil right now is argan oil. I do scalp massages with it before washing my hair. I also use it on my length when it gets a bit dry and static. I like it because it's so light and hair doesn't look oily after use. I also use it as an overnight treatment for my face and neck and sometimes on my arms when I know I'll have to show my skin (summer dresses and such) - my otherwise extremely dry skin actually "glows" after use. I also use EVOO for deep oil hair treatments and Castor oil + EVOO for cleaning my face. That's about it

    Not sure if nightbloomings panacea counts as an oil though it has numerous oils in it, but if it does count, that's it. I use it almost every morning on dry hair. Very awesome stuff and one of the few things my hair agrees with. If it doesn't count, I too, use triple moon oil, but only on wet hair after my weekly shampooing.

    I use Triple moon oil twice a day, and about 10-12 drops of the oil each time.

    I use coconut oil, EVOO, and avocado oil on my hair. Usually coconut oil on the ends after washing, EVOO for deep treatments, and avocado oil mixed with coconut milk for deep treatments as well. And I'll use Shea butter mixed with EVOO, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, and sometimes vegetable glycerin with some EOs for my skin. HEAVEN! I also use organic EVOO all over my body rubbed in well before stepping into the shower, I think of it as OCM for my entire body.

    Right now, it's jojoba oil because it's very light as a leave-in conditioner. I'm yet to try oils other members here claim are good also.

    Recently i started using jojoba oil aswell, i find it very drying,my ends are even crunchy and i havent had that in a long time, have you experienced such thing with it aswel?
    Its the only thing i changed in my routine so it must be that


    My favourite oils are Amla, Argan and Coconut, cant live without these..
    I use it whenever i think i need it, usually a few drops on the ends after shower and deep oiling the night before or the day of washing.
    All my oils are empty though besides coco so i'm gonna go to my kitchen now and get me some EVOO and have a deeeep oil evening)

    I love coconut oil as a pre-wash treatment, but I prefer a bit of baby oil just to smooth hair and cut down on frizz and tangles during the day.
