Oils to use on ends

[alireno]

For those of you that use oils, I was wondering what would be the best type of oils to apply to my ends only. I have read about meadowfoam and jojoba; however, I have had no experience using any types of oils.

It is my experience that you really can't go wrong with jojoba oil. It is extremely light. As such, it does not weigh your hair down.

In terms of other oils to apply to your ends, I would also suggest avocado oil. It is heavier relative to jojoba oil--but it does add a nice shine to the ends.

Coconut oil is good also. My only gripe with my coconut oil is that its in a solid form and so it requires a little manipulation to get it to melt.

I don't use carrot oil or shea butter but I am sure someone will chime in with more information about these oils and others.

I agree jojoba is the best oil to use, you may also want to add a little hair grease at the ends.

IMO, jojoba oil is wonderful.

I love my olive oil! I use it for hot oil treatments, to oil the scalp, for hair's length and ends!!! It does the trick for me and a little goes a long way and it's so cheap!!!!

Hello Ladies:

I like olive oil on my ends, but I like 100% coconut oil even better, mostly because of the smell.

It just melts in my hands.

I will have to add to the list apricot kernel oil. A little heavier than jojoba, but absorbs well and leaves the hair soft and moisturized.

I use liquid shea butter/shea oil. The oil has been separated (fractionated) from the solid portion of the shea butter, leaving oil only. I find that it is excellent as a hot oil treatment as well.

Try a dab of jojoba mixed with a two pea size amounts of shea butter...rub in your hands it'll all melt together works really well....also works well on your hairline!

Alireno, if it's not too heavy for you, Wild Growth Oil is good for your ends also.

On the ingredient list, the first ingredient is olive oil. It also contains jojoba.

I second Caramela's rec for olive oil. I like the extra virgin one

Sometimes I'll switch and use joboba but I somehow prefer the olive oil...

<font color="blue"> </font> I would highly recommend jojoba oil. It's so light &amp; moisturizing! My second choice of oils would be olive oil.
