Oil to use when massaging your hair

[GodsPromises]

Ladies for those of you who massages your hair on a regular basic what oil do you use.

I have:

Alma Oil

Mustard Oil

Castor Oil

Olive Oil

Would any of those work?

I also have coconut oil but I don't think that my hair likes it too well. I was thinking about Almond OIl but I don't know too much about it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi LadyR!

I use essential oils (rosemary, peppermint,lavendar) and dilute them with olive oil. You should always dilute essential oils. They are known to stimulate circulation to the scalp.

here is sistaslick's article on usin essential oils for a scalp massage.

Thanks. I don't have an essential oils so I wonder what I could use until then. I think that I am going to mix olive oil with coconut oil for right now.

Are you talking about oils for scalp massages or hot oil treatments?

I do overnight hot oil treatments weekly. I always wet my hair first. It allow me to use less oil, and my hair seems to absorb the oil better when it's wet.

I use a mixture of Parachute Coconut Oil (for shine), Dabur Olive Oil (conditioning/moisture), Dabur Amla Oil (maintains dark color in my hair), and Shikakai Oil (strength).

I ran out of castor oil, I gotta hit up Sam247.com real quick to re-up. But that definitely helps with thickening.

I LOVE wild growth hair oil. Although it smells the worst, it softens the best, and I use a strong, good-smelling conditioner to co-wash out the smell.

I used to use Sweet Almond Oil as well. I heard it's good for moisture, but didn't really notice any less conditioning when I ran out, and it fell out of my rotation.

When I want to do a scalp massage, but add lavendar, rosemary, and jasmine essential oils to my mix of oils, warm it up, and massage my scalp for 15 minutes.

HTH

ETA: Mustard oil is used in many countries and it is known to strengthen, thicken, and stimulate hair growth. I stopped using it because it has sulfur in it. I think that's what causes faster growth.

I use organic bhringaraj oil for scalp massages....and only for scalp massages because it could get expensive otherwise.
