Grapeseed oil

[ccmso12]

At the grocery story and found a big bottle of Grapeseed organic oil! When I compared it to Olive oil label it seems a bit better for skin with the high vitamin E content.

I mixed my new facial OCM with 1/4 part castor oil, 1/4 part olive oil, and 1/2 part Grapeseed oil, It was absolutely lovely on my face!

I have not heard of Grapeseed oil for many hair regimes . . .what are your expieriences with it on hair? Is it considered penetrating or sealing?

I use it for my hair. I haven't tried a lot of oils but so far it's the one I prefer for daily light oilings (I use coconut oil for pre-wash treatments). It's much lighter than other popular oils, so I guess you'll have to see if your hair likes it. I'm currently experimenting with using in for my skin.

It really great for detangling, it is light, but if you have coarsr hair, it might make your hair feel harder due to the ceramides in it, so don't overdo it if you notice your hair getting crunchier. I say it's fine as long as you wash it out nicely.

I personally didn't have a lot of luck with grapeseed oil on my hair, it's a little to heavy for me, and I don't feel like it totally gets absorbed into my hair (It leaves my hair a bit to oily for my tastes.) BUT it works wonders on my skin. Of course, hair is a very personal thing, what is a failure for me, might be an absolute success for you. I say try it and see!

I've been eying the organic grape seed oil at my work, but it's over $10 and I can't justify it when I just bought castor oil, sweet almond oil, and avocado oil lol.
However, it will probably be in my next round of purchases- that and the hazelnut oil sitting beside it :p Then maybe I can contribute something worthwhile to this thread

I love it.. been using it on my ends daily for ages. Literally just a drop or two, rub it with my palms together so there's just a light sheen covering my hands.. and then I press my hands together with the ends of my hair in between them and slide down till it's all covered :) Takes about 10 mins to fully sink in for me, then it just feels soft and lovely, not oily at all!

I've been using it almost daily. I wet my hair and condition it, then let it towel dry and do a rather heavy application of the grapeseed oil before I brush and bun it for the day. I don't have a problem with it being too heavy, in fact it has been sinking in extraordinarily well for me.

Grapeseed is my hair's favorite oil -- soaks in well without leaving a greasy look/feel.

My skin loves grapeseed oil! I haven't used it much on my hair as I don't oil it very often anyways, but my hair seems to like it a bit more than olive oil.

I also read somewhere that grapeseed oil is a good heat protectant...don't know how true that is though

I have been eyeing grapeseed oil myself, but just bought avacado oil and have this thing about too many products, I only try one new one at a time. It may be whta I try next...or argan oil.

There are only 3 oils that are supposed to actually penetrate hair: olive, coconut and avacado. But olive oil just SAT on my hair and made it greasy. Coconut is ok. Jury is still out on the avacado for me.

My hair and skin both love grapeseed oil and sunflower oil. They both feel really light and leave my hair soft but not greasy.

I just got an online order in today--so excited to give grapeseed oil a try! (I'm also testing out a few others: jojoba, coconut for deep treatments, etc.) Looking forward to ditching the cones in my Moroccan Oil and fully switching to COwashing now that I have some oil options :)

I agree . . .olive oil sat on my hair, and made in tangly . . .coconut oil in small amnt is tolerable, but I found jajoba seems to absorb and leaves it feeling GREAQT

I've tried it twice. I like how light it felt. First time I scrunched it in and let it air-dry through the day and it looked like this (flash/no flash):

Second time I smoothed it in and went to sleep, and it didn't dry nearly so pretty.
I've been too lazy to try it again.
But I definitely think it has potential. :)
