    I voted grapeseed, almond and other. As for others, I used apricot, pumpkin, sunflower, canola/rapeseed. Heavy oils don't work for me, olive was the worst, I'm not a fan of coconut either. Sesame also doesn't work for me. Now I use walnut, it's mediocre, but I want to use it up. After that, I want to buy pumpkin or apricot, I haven't used them for a while and I have very good memories of their effects. Sunflower also is very nice on my fine hair. I haven't used some of popular cosmetic oils, like jojoba, shea, babassu or avocado, somehow I always went for food-grade oils. Maybe because of price :P I'd like to start mixing in EO though.

    My hair loves coconut oil, I use a mixture of coconut and Jamaican Black Castor Oil on my roots about once a month to combat dandruff. I've also use almond oil in the past, my hair seemed to drink it up and was very soft and shiny. My mom used baby oil on my hair as a kid because my curls would mat if she didn't oil them. I kind of wish I still had those 3b curls now.

    Love castor oil, which I voted for. Also avocado oil is good, and is in my bee stuffs mix which is now thickening my hair (i love this stuff!!)
    Amla gold by dabur also gave me nice hair growth, but my preference is for all natural products.

    I use Coconut oil on my ends and sometimes argan oil. Idk why I didn't know you could use baby oil on your hairs. I use baby oil with vitamin E for my skin so I'm gonna try some on my ends. My hair tends to get really oily when I use it on my scalp so I avoid that area.

    I love castor, jojoba and argan oil. I use castor oil on my ends to help seal in moisture. I oil before washes to keep my hair from getting too dry.

    I've found almond oil suits my hair needs best. Really softens everything up, etc. I don't use it often, but it's helpful once in a while. I also like argon oil and coconut oil for additional hair help.

    Coconut oil, but it's my go-to all-round oil. On my eyelashes it works wonders, at least.

    avocado oil would have to be my favorite, it's moisturizing and makes my hair feel so soft

    Kind of an annoying answer, but I've tried a few of the oils listed and none of them came close to what my scalp already produces. Sebum is definetly my favorite, I comb it down my hair shaft with a BBB and I get loads of shine, less frizz, and more silky-ness! I count it as something I need to apply because if I don't comb/distribute it through my hair it never works as well. Once my hair gets longer, I'll probably need to use something else, but for now, I've found my oil.

    My fav is avocado oil. It's a light oil that my hair seems to DRINK, and don't feel heavy at all! I love it
