Hair Oil Effectiveness Poll 2

[Gladtobemom]

I do use cocoa butter whipped with coconut oil, jojoba oil, and a little shea butter, sort of a nod to Physicschick's Chocobutter.

DD uses it all the time. (she has tons of 3C hair)

I have gone back to using almost exclusively coconut oil or red palm oil. It's simpler and my hair does very well. Monoi is of course coconut oil. (Monoi Vanille, or Camden Gray Fractionated Coconut oil with BPAL)

[Ndnlady]

I have a jar of the un-refined coconut oil and that works really well, but I also use monoi oil and I like that too.

voted yes to both coconut oil and grapeseed oil. like the way it leaves my hair soft and shiny. initially, used them separately but have since, mixed them together

[Magrat]

I voted coconut worked, but I don't use it alone.
I melt some coconut and mix in some avocadooil. Just enough for it to be a thick liquid in room-temp (possibly a loose creme when cold). It's easy to apply and I find my hair likes this mix.

[Cinnamon.locks]

Cocoa butter worked for me and coconut oil worked ok. but i was unable to vote on the third poll.

[Arctic]

I voted that coconut oil worked for me.

It was the first oil I tried last autumn, and it made my hair feel stronger.
Unfortunately my skin seems not to like it that much (it's highly comedogenic), and I plan to keep coconut oil for occasional deepoilings for now on, not on everyday use anymore. For hair, I warmly recommend it

[Fireweed]

If I use cocnut oil too often my hair gets crunchy. My skin loves it and I use it almost every night on my skin.

[Velouria]

I haven't read this whole thread, but I just voted for coconut and grapeseed oils.

However, I can't use regular coconut oil because it breaks me out very badly, we're talking cystic. I use fractionated coconut oil (aka caprylic/capric triglyceride) which is non-acnegenic, and if my understanding of the chemistry of oil penetrability is correct, it's even more penetrative than regular coconut oil.

It's a clear, liquid, odorless oil.

In this poll,I've only tried coconut oil. Its the best thing that I have found for my hair.I use the refined kind from Spectrum and its lovely. I do over night oilings with it,I use just a little bit on my ends after washing,I mix it with a BPAL scent and smooth it on my skin. That stuff is gold.A huge jar too.

Cocoa butter worked well for me, but strangely coconut oil did not work. i guess i used the wrong kind.

the other oils i have not tried.
