I don't know which ones, I just always heard that people with those
conditions should be careful. I suppose if your asthma is caused
by a certain plant, using oils from that plant or a related plant would
give you a problem. Since you have both of those conditions and
you like using oils, I would visit an aromatherapist who can analyze
your health situation to make sure you don't use the wrong ones.

I don't know if I would put sesame oil on my hair. It tastes good, but I think the smell would be really overwhelming on the hair. It also needs to be refrigerated or it will go rancid. I'd save the sesame oil for cooking.
I think jojoba and coconut oils are really good recommendations. They smell good and they make your hair feel great. I sometimes use some eucalyptus oil in my conditioner just because I love the smell.

You can certainly use the jojoba and leave it on overnight, that's good for hair. I've never tried ginger or sesame. The main thing you want to do when you use oils in your hair is use ones that closely mimic real scalp oil (from your own head), and ones that don't go rancid. Both jojoba and coconut oil don't go rancid so they're great choices.
As far as essential oils like the ones you see in the vitamin isles of stores, I wouldn't put that in my hair. Some of those things are so strong they're meant to be diluted before use (a lot), and if you didn't dilute enough and got in on your skin while you were sleeping, it could also burn you. Essential oils should be thought of as medicines, not just as nice smelling stuff. Be aware also that you wouldn't want to use certain essential oils during pregnancy, or if you have asthma, epilepsy, or liver damage.

I want to grow my hair because of a bad hair cut. I came across a website(forgot the name) suggesting to mix a TBS of ginger oil, sesame oil, and jojaba oil and to leave it on over night. I wanted to know if anyone has tried using essential oils at all?
