I recently started using safflower oil, since then my hair has been so moisturized. I also incorporated it w/ Shikai shampoo & conditioner from the natural foods store, it has safflower oil in it and no protein in it. I have to be careful w/ protein on my hair for some reason it just sensative to protein. Shikai poo/cond and safflower oil makes our hair so moist and soft. It definitely is a keeper for me, I've noticed my hair has stopped the excessive shedding since using these. I use it as a pre-poo oil overnight and also to sometimes seal in my moisturizer.
