What benefits have you seen from using this oil? How often have you been using it?

Thanks in advance!

I use the oil because I like its texture and it is inexpensive. I find it to be as light and penetrating as coconut oil and it is inexpensive which is the main reason that I have tried a lot of the Indian products. I also like the smell.

I had some of the vitalizer because I had taken a trip to Little India outside L.A.

I had nothing better to do witn my money but buy one of everything. If I remember correctly it had a slight menthol cigarette smell. Not a bad smell just different. The ingredients sounded good or I wouldn't have bought it.

It was watery so I mixed it in with some other spritz stuff. This was awhile ago so I can't really say what it did though.

Good luck!

In another thread on here some said this product had Nicotinic Acid. What does that do for the hair?

I have some, but haven't used it enough to give a good review on it

Is it oily or tingly?

 

[crlsweetie912]

I have the oil. I LOVE THIS STUFF. I put it on my hair to seal when I am bunning. My hair is so soft and silky. I didn't know about the other product......
(I will not buy, I will not buy....)


ETA: I got mine from here

It's way cheaper!

 

[SohoHair]

Bumping.... I had an insanely busy day and was unable to go to my local Indian grocer, but at least that gives me a chance to read more reviews....

I just bought and used this Saturday. I did a hot oil treatment with Keo Karpin, Amla, and Brahmo oils. I let it sit for 1 hour with a plastic cap and then washed out. My hair is so soft and my scalp felt great afterward!

It didn't tingle it was more like a cooling effect. My scalp felt like someone was blowing cool air on it. If that makes any sense.

 

[LocksOfLuV]

Anyone have the ingredients to either oil?

 

[Sparker65]

I've been using the oil for about a month and I love it. The oil is very light and I use it to seal my ends. The key ingredients are Mineral oil, Arachis oil, perfumes, Olive oil, Wheat Germ oil. I sometimes use it to oil my scalp too.

LocksOfLuv, I do not have any of the product as yet but know it, Keo-karpin contains wheat germ oil, mineral oil, arachis oil, olive oil, perfumes. I'll probably pick some up out in Queens this weekend and will be able to post it if listed in english!!

11:38am UPDATE. ARACHIS OIL IS PEANUT OIL. The Safety Data Sheet on this states it may cause eye irritation and scalp irritation with repeated use. Peanut allergy folk, don't use. I don't think I'm going for this one. Noticed that ORS oil also has this; may be why some people have irritated skin when using it.

No luck finding the keo-karpin revitalizer but I have to confess I have gone against my fears and fallen in love with the keo-karpin oil..mineral oil, peanut oil and all! I use it every day and my hair loves it for sealing and a swipe to my twists.

 

[LABETT]

I just realized I have this oil in my hair product stash.
I bought it last year and never used it.
My bottle does not list ingredients.

Anyone have updates on the hair revitalizer?
