If you want to try it, do a patch test on your inner arm. If there is no reaction, then you can go ahead with it.

I only my hair every day as well... I think it works for me because I have thick hair. If a bottle of oil says 5 drops for the ends of hair, I usually have to use 20... just to give you an idea. And no, my hair does go a bit lank, but not oily.

No problem!

Hope it works out well for you.

@Amber_Maiden: I also don't usually have problems with oily-looking hair unless I purposely do a really heavy, overnight oiling, and I have F/M hair, but my hair loves oil and I have to use quite a bit.

@jaquelines: I think their hair would only look really greasy if they oiled the scalp. I have found that regular oiling has helped my normally very oily scalp calm down significantly.

you mean like oiling the ends ? With me, if I oil my ends, even a tiny bit, although they are dry, they don`t seem to absorbe the oil, and stay oily and sticky.

Hello everyone! I'm new here and glad to be a part of things!
What type of oil does everyone use? And how do you use it?
Currently I'm using argan oil, on towel dried hair, then a little down the length and endsif it seems dry
