Hair Oil Effectiveness Poll 3

I applied jojoba oil dry, and two days later I still have some oiliness in my hair, even after a (quick) CO wash. And my ends still look dry. I still need to figure out how it works.

From the list I only tried Jojoba and it worked for me, but only on dry hair. I actually replaced my serum with it. On wet hair it made my hair too crunchy.

Jojoba is the best for me. Evoo is too strong and gives me a sticky mineral oil feel and monoi and cheaper coconut oils make be brittle and crunchy.

Jojoba makes my hair feel just like my own oil does and it has no stinky odour and lasts well.

I haven't tried the other oils but Jojoba oil did not work for me at all. made my hair way too greasy and limp no matter how much i used.

Jojoba oil has been the answer to my prayers. It keeps my hair soft and more manageable and helps keep it moisturized.

I'm going to try camellia oil at some point, and maybe some EOs mixed in with my carrier oil (I've only tried tea tree so far).

jojoba works very well for me, especially as a leave in

My hair loves jojoba oil. I oil with it every week or so.

I have been using jojoba oil for a few years and decided it was time to change because it was not helping in the prevention of split ends. Gosh....I spent a lot on it thinking I was doing my hair a favor!

What works for me is both coconut oil (for pre-oiling) and camellia oil (for daily light oiling on the last four inches of hair). I have been using both since Aug. 2009. My hair will have to grow a few inches to determine if indeed both these oils are helping.

I have been curious about hazelnut oil and would like to see how it works on other people. It looks like it isn't a popular one on TLHC, however.

I use hemp seed oil since I started growing out my hair (two years ago).
This oil is cheap, cheaper than jojoba, I can buy hemp seed oil producted in my country, it is way less greasy than olive oil. Perfect for normal hair types, but less perfect for dry hair I guess.
