I read on the web that safflower oil is a humectant, has the highest amount of essential fatty acids of any other oil ,, and its very similar to sebum,,, it beats out olive oil,, so i went out to buy some yesterday( its cheap ,, i paid 4.59 for organic safflower oil for cooking 16 oz) i used some in my dry hair ends and it felt so supple and its really not greasy unless u use a load of it,, it gave my hair a look as if if just brushed it,, anyhoo if ur interested in it go to google and use search term- safflower oil hair,, sorry i cant get the link now..... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |

| Thanks for sharing. I'm looking up some info on this oil now. I wonder if it has to be organic? It hard for me to get organic stuff because the nearest store is like an hour away. |

actually,, u know i doubt if it has to be organic,, i hadnt read that anywhere and i checked quite a few web sites,, i actually came across one on hairboutique (from my mobile,,thats why i cant get the link,, my cp is impossibly slow),, i only read tat its the kind u cook with,,, i guess u could just get the one from the supermarket,,, i really like the way this made my hair feel and i used it for 3 days now and havent seen a split end since but b4 monday i saw quite a few,, dont know if its truly the oil but it def makes my hair feel good,, efa's are a componant of hair itself...... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!
