Is it better to mix oils?

[Ms.Christ3n]

Is it better to mix oils or put them in your hair one at a time?
I have a few oils that I love and putting them one one at a time in the morning is taking more time than I would like.

Would mixing them have the same effect as putting them on one at a time?

Would they even mix?erplexed

This post suggests that it is better to mix oils in the case of coconut oil and olive oil. The author also theorizes mixing coconut oil and avocado oil is better than using on their own:

Not sure about others. HTH!

Thank you for that link!

Yes, I think so. I mix coconut oil/hemp butter and this was a great marriage.

I also use coconut oil mixed with shea butter---keeps my hair soft, no build up and it isn't gummy or greasy.


Good luck and happy mixing.

I would say go ahead and mix them...I'm pretty sure alot of ppl on the board do that with great results. I mix oils for my prepoo all the time and my hair always comes out soft

What does hemp butter do for your hair? And where do you get it from?

Hemp contains ceramides. There are some longgggg threads on this

Thank you keyawarren. I just ordered some hemp seed oil and I'm contemplating buying walnut oil....I think I'm an oil junkie

Walnut Oil is FAB for hair!

Okay, whatever, I'm going to order it right now...

I prefer mixed oils, but all my oils work fine alone on my hair except olive oil.

I love castor oil mixed with a lil' EVOO or coconut oil. Works better than the castor by itself IMO.

 

[Ms.Christ3n]

I may have to try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Okay....sooo after almost 2 weeks of using my oils mixed...I have come to the conclusion that my hair prefers to be high maintenance and have each oil put on it one at a time. My hair doesn't feel as good as it usually did with mixed oils. I f that's what my hair wants, I guess I have to take the extra 3 minutes in the morning to maker her happy!
