QuoteReplyTopic: Something other than Jojoba oil Posted: June 10 2007 at 10:42pm
I'm newly natural and I put Jojoba oil in my hair to keep it moist throughout the day. It LOOKS great. My hair stays bouncy, shiny, and defined and it falls free. Shrinkage is nonexistant. The problem is, we all know that Jojoba oil is very greasy. It's always getting on my face and ears and making my complexion shiny. I want very touchable hair, not hair that makes ppl say "eew," then search for a paper town to wipe the goop off their hands.
What products can I use? Actually I'd like a one-step solution. Just one thing I can put on my hair before I blowdry it in replacement of the Jojoba oil.
Thanks,

Any oil will most likely feel like jojoba oil...you could try castor oil, which is thicker. It pretty much comes down to trial and error. Find various types of moisturizers, liquid or cream and try those.
Like Cmesweet said any oil will feel greasy. But your problem might be how much you apply. Whenever any product is over applied your hair tends to get greasy and nasty feeling.
With most oils you only need a little. I part my hair down the middle and use like a teaspoon per side max. To find the right amount for you, it does take trial and error.
