Hair Oils: What do you use?

Wittils

You mentioned that the coconut oil you use has a petrolatum base.
That concerned me since mineral oil is not good for either skin or hair.
Please see if you can get hold of 100% pure coconut oil. I'm sure your hair would appreciate the difference.

Mineral oil is non-penetrative. It sits on top of the cuticle and prevents other moisturizing ingredients from doing their work as well as they could without it.
The skin and hair care industry use petroleum-derivatives as cheap fillers and preservatives. They have nil therapeautic value for skin or hair.

Hi Uzma...

it's called Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil and I found it at our local health store. It's on the web too. Try www.ebonyline.com or just type in the whole name of the product and you will find folks who are selling it and info on it.

It smells medicinal though, but it sounds very nourishing for the hair and I will only know in time.

I'm pretty aware of petrolatum...ugh!!!... yet I am not too worried about that on my hair. Now on my skin that is another matter since everything that goes onto the skin is absorbed into our system. Therefore I have only used the coconut oil butter on the dryest part of my hair, not my scalp, and it has really worked wonders. And it has only been a couple of times. I do love the smell of it!

I will be looking for pure coconut oil, I know it must be wonderful. My little tropical vacation without the flight.

My hair has improved greatly since I began all this oiling and conditioning. I think my family thinks I am fanatic, maybe even obsessed or possessed, but it's great fun to take care of my hair and know it will be the very best it can be as it grows long.

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, because I have learned so much.

Thanks for the carrot oil info and link, Wittils.

I think plenty of us here have Obsessive-Compulsive Hair Disorder.

You are in good company !!!!
