    I've used jojoba oil for several years along with EVOO. It's wonderful alone as a hair oil and wonder mixed with other oils and added to leave in conditioners. It's a great multi purpose oil. I can't be without it. It's very light and soaks right in. I've also use macadamia nut oil. Not sure how long, but over 6 months. It's a little more difficult to find but well worth it if you can find it. It's light and soaks in great.

    Jojoba oil is one of my staples for everyday. It was the first oil that really worked for me. Now I'll go and search for the other oils I use.

    Nice polls, Nightshade.

    Jojoba oil is the first oil I was able to use successfully. When I apply it to wet hair it keeps some of the frizz at bay.

    Jojoba oil works for me when my hair is in the mood for it... It's more of a finishing touch/protective rather than a nourishing oil for me. (if that makes any sense)

    Hate jojoba alone, it's too proteiny. I like it OK if it is mixed with other sutff though - they way it is in the Aubrey Honeysuckle Rose conditioner.

    I use jojoba oil as the base for my SSO. I have more success
    with it than with the sweet almond oil.

    I have some jojoba oil that I've used somewhat successfully, but I need to do some experimenting to see if I can get consistent results. I'm new to TLHC, so I'm trying not to experiment with too many variables at once.

    For adding oil to hair, is it best to wet my hair first, or should I apply it to dry hair?

    I've only used Macadamia nut oil in a whipped recipe.

    I used it for nearly 8 months, but left it out of the next batch.

    Jojoba I use on my skin and sometimes on hair.

    Jojoba oil is the only one from that list that I have tried, but I like it a lot. Both my hair and scalp seem to like it. I don't use it daily or anything, just when I feel like I need to. Maybe once a week or less.

    I've only tried jojoba oil (of the oils on the list) and didn't like it, didn't seem like it did anything for my hair good or bad
