Hair Oil Effectiveness Poll 5

[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

Shea butter worked wonderfully on the ends and to smooth down the sproinging baby hairs.

I only used Shea butter in Fox's Shea Butter Conditioning Cream recipe. I thought it was brilliant but I've not used it directly on the hair. I've not voted on the shea butter.

These polls make me feel like I haven't experimented with enough oils!!

Shea butter is probably the heaviest thing I use on my hair. The night before a wash, I will put some on my length and braid it. This is the closest I get to a heavy oil treatment. It does make my hair a bit greasy, so it needs to be washed out whereas coconut and jojoba oil don't seem to need to be washed out right away.

Shea butter is the thing my hair likes the most. Alone and mixed, pre wash and post wash.

My hair and shea butter don't get along. I have problems with it absorbing, I tried to use just a little but it clumped and went greasy on me.

I have a huge tub of it for soapmaking, so I tried it multiple times.
