Hair Oil Effectiveness Poll 2

[Nightshade]

I wanted to do a series of polls on some of the most common methods of hair care that have or have not worked for LHC. I think this may be both interesting and a good quick reference. Granted it does not take into account hair type, but that would require a separate poll for each, and that’s a bit more effort both to post and to sift through the information.


We will define “long-term” as a period of 6 months or more of continuously using the method you select to be able to vote for a good result. Please feel free to give the details of your methods, or the ones that worked versus failed in the thread.

PLEASE only vote that something worked for you if you've used it for MORE than 6 months and DO NOT VOTE for methods you have not tried. If something has worked for less time, please comment about it in the thread, but do not vote

If you do not see your hair oil in this thread, please be sure that you've checked each oil Poll

Coconut oil works amazingly well. Except I can only use it during the warm months when it is not solid. Using it when it can solidify on hair cause instant build up, the hair candle effect.

Coconut and jojoba are the only oils I've tried. They both work well for me. *off to find the poll with jojoba*

I found Grapeseed Oil very heavy for me. I only use it for heavy oil treatments, it's just too much at any other time.

Coconut oil is the best oil I've used.

Coconut oil is probably my favorite. I like to use it on my damp ends and it keeps them nice and moisturized and soft and helps prevent the "velcro ends" effect I seem to always get. It also doesn't leave me greasy. I've noticed that my hair seems to like the lighter oils best.

Ok I must like this oil alot because I have bought two tubs of it. I use it for almost everything I use it in my hair. I also use it as a body moisturizer and I will never be without it for this reason.

Well I cant vote again but I also love Emu oil I use it on my scalp and body

Monoi rules! The best one, not too greasy, just perfect. And smells like paradise.

Coconut oil is what I use most often and it's perfect for the winter since my hair is typically drier in this season. It tames my flyaways and smooths my hair down well, especially for updos.

Coconut oil 'worked' for me, but not well enough to justify buying more of it. I just have to face it, I'm not a coconut kind of girl!

Grapeseed oil, on the other hand, is amazing. Love the stuff!

My hair and skin eat up coconut oil. I've been using it for about
a year now and have had good results.
