    Default Share your favorite hair oils!

    Hello all! I'm running low on my currents oils (coconut and jojoba), and I was wondering what oils do you like to use and how they are (Are they heavy, light, hard to rinse out, etc).
    Also if you have an oil combination you like, feel free to share that as well! Thanks for your helpful advice!!

    I use basic mineral/baby oil and add my favorite essential oils (lilac or rose).

    I also use and love this rose oil blend
    Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rose Absolute, Rosemary Extract and Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) (from soy).
    My hair is very fine and wispy and handle these oils well post shampoo on my ends only (few drops).

    In Summer I use more of the mineral oil and I also cut the rose oil blend with mineral oil; in Winter I use the oil blend as bottled/full strength.

    In the past I loved the Shea Moisture oils and products but found the ARGAN OIL stained my white/silver, so I had to find others.

    Coconut, olive etc are all too heavy for my hair.

    my hair is very fine and curly,i love pure argan oil because it's really light and smells amazing(i apply it to my hair only).for my scalp i use a little bit-because it's hard to wash out- of castor oil mixed with mustardseed oil or olive oil(as castor oil is so thick).i have always loved coconut oil and used it since i was 5 years old but suddenly my hair started breaking from it and i stopped using it.
    for my favorite oil blend is almond+sesame+castor.also,when i used coconut oil before i've always made "carrot oil" and my hair loved it so much.

    I'm currently an hour into my monthly coconut oil treatment. I've used avocado oil before and really enjoyed that too. I usually add essential oils that are good for hair for whatever hair-related thing I'm trying to improve on (peppermint for growth, tea tree for dandruff, etc).

    I use baby oil (MO) and a more natural baby oil (sweet almond + camellia). I only use it on my lengths though. You don't want to put a mineral oil near your scalp as you will hardly get it out.

    I use sweet almond oil regularly and love it. It's very light, overall, soaks into my skin quickly when applying to my hair, rinsed out well with a CWC, and carries essential oils nicely. Some favorite essential oil blends might have spearmint, eucalyptus, Lavendar &/or clove and allow me to customize blends for whatever I'm in the mood for.

    Love oil!

    Ok so I stole one of my husband's beard oils. He got a few to test the scents and just how much he liked them over all, and one of them I absolutely adored and just kept using on like frizzy hair days (before LHC). Then I joined LHC and started to use a little more as an after-wash thing, and he was like "ok I'm just gonna buy you your own goodness me stop using my stuff, woman" and he bought me like 2 bottles? Three? Idk I'm still on the first one and not even halfway done! I know I got them before we moved, and I'm pretty sure it was around June-ish? So it's been really lasting me at my length lol.

    Anyway! Here are the ingredients:

    Base Oil Blend

    • Golden Jojoba Oil
    • Sweet Almond Oil
    • Grapeseed Oil
    • Avocado Oil


    Essential Oil (Scent) Blend

    • Roasted Coffee
    • Texas Pecan


    It (obviously) smells like coffee, and I find it's a pretty light oil as well!

    Maintaining at Hip-BCL for now.

    I also like almond oil, it's probably my favorite over jojoba oil because it's a little heavier and generally less expensive. I usually put rosemary and jasmine essential oil in it
    Current length: Knee+!

    Besides coconut oil, I totally adore grape seed oil. I own several bottles of Napa Valley's Grapeseed Oil. I buy it from online, and it is one of the best hair oils that I have ever used. The smell of it is very minimal (practically non-existent) and it leaves my hair feeling super soft, yet well hydrated, with it not not leaving a very oily after as much as pure coconut oil does to my hair. Not all grape seed oils are the same, as I have tried others in the past, however, Napa Valley's Grapeseed Oil is of the best quality grape seed oil that I have ever come across.
