Oil bad for hair?

Looking at your hair, Goldenwaves, it looks like you're doing everything right. Your hair is beyond beautiful, and I don't think you need outside advice from anyone.

I completely agree with Franny, and I would also like to toss in my own two cents: never take hair advice (ETA: especially if they're telling you that you're doing something wrong) from someone whose hair looks more damaged than your own, unless they are telling you that what you're currently doing is what damaged their hair.

ETA again: I LOVE oils and I would never consider stopping using them just because someone else told me they were "bad for my hair."

I found the one time I tried to use oil on my hair (well first of all I nearly fainted, it was weird) I got soooooooo greasy. But I'm pretty sure that's because I have a naturally oily scalp, and my hair was short at the time. This thread caught my eye because I'm about to start up with the oiling again, so glad to see it's not bad. LOL!
