Have fine hair?

I have short hair currently, but I’m a visionary and am already there in my mind lol. What oils are best for fine hair?

Thanks in advance!🙏🏻

I love babassu oil. It’s a penetrating oil so it helps to protect the hair during the wash, and I can use it liberally without any residual oiliness or stringiness afterwards. My hair is easily weighed down but babassu oil doesn’t do that, and it doesn’t build up in my hair either.

When I use oil I use jojoba oil or mineral oil (baby oil) for leave-in, pre shampoo, or ROO.I am currently using chi serum which I think is silicone based, but will rotate back to the oils as they also work great for me. My hair is very fine strands, bleach damaged, and also rather thick.

Lately I like my oil emulsified. At least once a month I do a Pre-poo treatment with my homemade mayonnaise. It contains egg, avocado oil and light olive oil. I rarely have a split end.

It's not a question of "the best", it is just about what works / is best for you personally, and that you just have to figure out all on your own. Buy a couple small bottles (100ml) of jojoba, sweet almond, olive, coconut and you are set to go. More than one person on here reacts "weirdly" to coconut (brittle, dry) so there's that, if you want to avoid it, now you can.

I'm one of those. My hair doesn't like coconut oil at all.

Yesterday I mixed up a bunch of different oils. Camellia, castor, avocado, and olive oil. Then I added in some rosemary, Lavendar, and peppermint essential oils. Heated it up, oiled my scalp and lengths (with particular attention to ends), put on a heat cap and left it for 30 minutes before washing it out. My hair LOVED it and is so soft today. I recommend getting some oils and experimenting to find what your hair responds best to.

That's right. It's not a question of what's the best. It is a question of what works for you. My hair loves all kind of oils. Especially, coconut oil.

I have good experiences with sweet almond. Works for my hair and doesn't leave a residue even when I oil heavily pre wash. But I only wash it out with conditioner and I have no clue how effective shampoo would be to get it out. In my experience, shampoo is more a hit and miss in removing oil properly than conditioner is. Just a tip.

I second that you need to try stuff out for yourself. I avoided coconut oil for ages because I often read about how it makes hair dry and brittle. After finally trying it I found out that my hair loves it so much, though.

I used to use Castor oil on my roots about an hour before shampooing and that worked just fine, but it wasn’t the best. My sister gifted me Safa Rosé oil and I like that wayyy better. I’ll leave the Amazon link and links to pictures of my hair after using it.

It’s about $24 on Amazon. It has almond oil, apricot oil, argan oil, rose essential oil, rose petals, and vitamin E. It comes with a dropper so the petals don’t get in your hair haha. I massaged it onto my scalp, roots, and a little on the ends of my hair. Then I clipped it up and left it for about half an hour before shampooing then left my hair in two braids overnight with satin scrunchies.

For an everyday treatment when my ends are dry, I use Hask Repairing Hair Argan Oil. I use about a dime sized amount and spread it evenly through my lengths after braiding or before brushing. No need to shampoo after.
