Alternatives for (Wanakee) Hair Oil

[Scasey]

Does anyone know any alternatives for this oil. I liked it but I can't afford it.

Well...I felt the same way about 6 years ago and that's when I started using pure jojoba oil.

Hey SG,
Which brand do you use? I got some for Whole Foods on Greenville that was about $12.00 and it was ok, nothing to brag about.

Wild Growth, ApHogee EFA Oil Concentrate or Healthier Hair in a Bottle Oil Spray.

I loved those Wanakee product to about 5-6 years ago. They really are pricey!

I think it's all the same, but the current one I'm using is the one from fromnaturewithlove.com

I really like Wild Hair Growth Oil

Scasey,

I don't know if you've ever tried the Keracare oil, but it's a good one too.

IMO, the Dudley Pure Indulgence oil was similar to the Wanakee oil but the smell is alittle sweet. REAL sweet.

Thank you ladies for the suggestions!

Thank you Leslie!
I have posted a picture of my "before "hair". In 2001 I had to give myself a major cut. My hair was really damaged b/c of the stress of nursing school and no time to take good care of it. So I guess it has taken 3-4 years.

I've never used the Wanakee oil, but right now I am LOVING the Hot Six Oil. I add a little tea tree oil to it.

flyjump,
my hair is similar to your before pic. Im starting nursing school in September! I hope Im able to still take care of my hair! I know I will be bust and stressed, but I hope by the time I fninsh LPN school(Sept 2005) and start RN school (January 2006) Ill have bra strap length healthy hair.

If mine starts acting up and I dont have time to deal with it, its back to the phony pony! it never failed me!

Jojoba

It's a little lighter, but it penetrates my hair better than the Wanakee oil. I found the Wanakee oil a bit heavy. I think Jojoba does a better job for less money. As an upside it's more natural (Wanakee's oil doesn't actually have any oil in it. Or it didn't.)

 

[moneychaser]

Yes. I purchased my jojaba oil (6 oz.) for $6 @ viatmin shoppe..

I bought the Hair Oil a couple of years ago and it's just sitting there in my bathroom collecting dust. I didn't know at the time how to properly use it since I had not discovered haircare boards yet. I now have Keracare Essential Oils which is awesome and I use it as a pre-shampoo treatment. I still don't know how to use the Wanakee Hair Oil but I don't want to throw it away. How are you using it Scasey? Your hair looks so long, shiny and gorgeous,

I still use the Wanakee Constant Care for Ends although I more recently learned about Protectiv Healthy Ends. The Constant Care for Ends is pricey but I love it. It worked for my ends even when I knew nothing about hair care and was abusing my hair and ends. I keep my jar in the fridge and it lasts most of the year that way.

Thank you Isis for the compliment. I am embarrassed to say that I just bought another bottle of the Wanakee Oil b/c when I was in D.C. I noticed that a lot of shiney hair at work but I didn't have the courage to ask them what they used. I can't afford to buy anymore though.

I would like to thank every one for the suggestions. I am going to go price the oils and test out the cheap ones. I used the Hot Six Oil about 5 years ago and I liked the smell but it was a little too greasy for me. My daddy loves it though, it makes his hair soft.

Thanks again I really appreciate it!
