Hey I've been reading around and I've read somewhere how Mineral Oil isn't good for your hair. I use the Doo Gro Hair Growth Stimulator and the first ingredient is Mineral Oil, meaning thats what its mostly made of. So I just wanted to know is that a good product to use? And, why isn't mineral oil so good for your hair?

I too still use a few products that contain mineral oil and have no issues. But the reason behind staying away from mineral oil is because it can clog the pores therefore slowing the rate of hair growth also possible build-up issues as well. HTH

thabadestbaby is right. Just try to only apply to the hair strands and keep away from the scalp

Yep...many of the prods have mineral oil.
But as long as you use it sparingly and away from your scalp, you should be good to go.
