I think it can clog the scalp. If you just put it on your hair, you should be alright. Otherwise use natural oils like olive oil, coconut oil, or castor oil... it can seal in moisture, make your hair soft, and keep your scalp healthy since they are anti-bacterial. Nature is always best!

I also heard that grease clogs pores.  I use oils like coconut oil, Mango & Lime Oil, or EVOO.

hey,
oils are great. but make sure you put something that is meant to moisturize first. Oil molecules are too big to actually penetrate the scalp. they just sit on top, which will clog your scalp. First put a moisturizer on, THEN put on an oil. The oil will keep the moisture in.
