Massage Oil for hair?
My DBF recently bought some massage oil from Bath and Body Works in lavender vanilla and I LOVE the scent! I want that smell in my hair but was wondering if you can use massage oil as a hair oil? I've been looking for a good smelling product (oil, spray) that will linger in my hair.

What's in the massage oil?
Routine for my dyed mid back length hair: shampoo and condition twice a week, with Alterna Kendi Dry Oil Spray all over and shea butter on ends and lightly on length as leave-ins on wet hair, and blow dried with a Sedu on low heat
Re: Massage Oil for hair?
It really depends what is in the oil. If it's just a bunch of other oils and scents, it would probably be perfectly fine. However, depending on the composition some of the ingredients possibly could be drying or something.

Re: Massage Oil for hair?
Looks like it's mainly sunflower seed oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride (which comes from coconut oil)... sunflower seed is a drying oil which means that it will form a film as it oxidizes. I personally have had no problems using drying oils on my hair but I clarify once or twice a month... ymmv.

We have that massage oil and several others from Bath and Body. I use them on a pretty regular basis on my hair. No ill effects, and the smell lasts longer than tranditional hair serums. I like them for detangling / perfuming purposes.

I say if you're really worried, strand test. Sounds really weird, but it's what I do with unknown quantities in my hair.

Re: Massage Oil for hair?
Good to know that the massage oil is not a big "no no" for hair. I've been dying to find something good smelling for my hair cause by around wash-day, it starts to smell
