Hi Helen,

If you've read any of my prior posts on the subject, you might notice that I am biased in favor of jojoba oil.

Jojoba is actually a wax, but it is structurally similar to the sebum (a wax) that your skin (especially on the scalp) naturally exudes.

I have tried coconut and olive oils, both were terrible for my hair, but they work for some. It might depend on your hair's texture (Mine is fairly fine).

I don't really know the answer to your question, Helen, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that avocado is good for hair - or maybe it was for skin!! It might be worth a try, anyway.

Also I“ve been thinking if there really are some essential differences between hair-oils and salad-oils. Because of lack of money I“ve been using turnip rape oil (hope that word is correct, it sounds a little weird but I found it in my dictionary) and that seems to have some positive effects (the tangles have decreased and the hair is a little more shining). So I was wondering if almond, jojoba or avocado oils would be even better...

Has anyone here noticed some differences between different hair oils? What kind of? Which oil do you find best and why?
