Jojoba works very well for me. I've tried EVOO and found it to be waaaaay too heavy - it left my hair stringy and greasy.

I make sure to condition well and often, and so far my hair seems happy. Probably by this coming summer I shall have started to use oil. As my hair is mostly fine, I'll first try jojoba oil.

I use a special oil mixture on the very ends of my hair only. It consists of water, baby oil & aloe vera gel. Works great if the ratios are right, but I have to keep adding water periodically or the balance is off.

But when I do, I use either jojoba or almond oil with a few drops of jasmine or lavender EO. I have just recently acquired my first tin of shea butter and used it last night. I am now awaiting the results of that first experimental use. Although I surely don't qualify for Very Long Locks

I use oil on my scalp an hour before or sometimes the night before I'm going to wash. I alternate with Banyan Botanicals' Brahmi or Bhringaraj, which are herbs in organic sesame oil and Nature's Gift stimulating scalp massage oil which contains a blend of cedarwood, lavandin, rosemary and thyme in grapeseed & jojoba oils.
In general I don't oil my ends, with winter coming I may use LouiseMarie Longhairs' Bliss Butter Balm just on the ends of my piggy braids when I sleep the night before a wash.

i had been using jojoba for years until i recently finally got the courage to order some virgin coconut (my s/o really hates artificial coco perfumes and was expecting the real stuff to be equally nasty). well, i really love it. it's supposed to be heavier than jojoba but strangely both my skin and hair absorb it far better so i risk less to end up with greasy hair - which i do tend to have easily with jojoba! but it's apparently tricky to use as a treatment, far harder to wash out than jojoba. the smell is fine too (the s/o doesn't complain) and it doesn't linger at all if you don't overoil.

I find too much leaves my ends greasy too. When I use camellia oil or babassu oil that doesn't happen. Also the fractionated coconut oil works fine also.

I use coconut oil.....but not very often I'm laaaaaaaazy! I mostly use oil before I wash and let it soak in. It works better for me this way and it doesn't matter if I use too much!

I use an aromatherapy mixture which I make up myself. Basically I make a pomade with beeswax, almond oil and essential oils of my choice, although you dont have to scent it as it has a lovely honey fragrance anyway. You dont need much at all. Just play with measurements until you have a consistency you like (melt together in bain marie and let cool slightly before adding essences then leave to set.) I also have some lovely pure colour gold mica which I add to it sometimes which gives it a lovely golden shimmer. So yes, I picked 'other' in the poll.

callisto Sapphire Offline Curly hair is crazy and utterly beautiful Posts: 178	Re: Hair oil Reply #14 - Jul 10^th, 2008 at 2:09pm I use shea butter blended with orange essential oil, lavender or rosemary, depending on what I have at the time. Currently I'm using orange. I find it absorbs well into my hair, but I think it would probably be too heavy for finer hair. I think it is lighter than EVOO though.
