From doing some reading, I have found the jojoba oil is the best type of oil you can use on your hair. I recently bought some from a local healthfood store. It's 100% jojoba oil with no additives. I massaged some into my scalp then using my fingers massaged the residue through the rest of my hair. I then used hot towels to help with the heat process. After leaving it on for about 10 minutes, I washed my hair twice and used conditioner. (Aveda products). I found it worked very well and was pleased with the results. This is just an idea if you are into oil treatments and worry about extra additives. Jojoba oil is good for your skin too.. while it's working on your hair, you can use it on the rest of your dry areas on your body. I hear some people even take the jojoba oil and rub some lightly into their dry hair to leave on. I have never tried this before tho.. Cheryl

But I have heard of people with dry skin using it all over.. C~
