Ors Olive oil spray

[CharUK]

Is it me, or is this spray quite drying? It feels nasty when I apply it to my daughters hair, almost stiff feeling.

Also, first ingredient is light mineral oil. How long do you give a product to decide whether it's for you (or in this case my daughter) or not?

I don't find it to be drying. I found it to weigh my hair down. I have thin hair and wear my hair down all the time in a blow out. So I stopped using it. But I have started surging and I spray this on my scalp after the surge and i must say that I have NO itchiness or reactions from the surge. So this is what I am going to use the ORS for from now on.

That is probably because this oil sheen spray, like many others, contain mineral oil. I have found mineral oil to be VERY drying on my hair. The only oil sheen spray that I have found that does not contain mineral oil is the one made by Protectiv.

I had to stop using it too because it made my hair feel weird. Kinda gritty. Same thing as their Olive Oil moisturizer.

Oh dear

Most oil sheen sprays also contain alcohol which is drying to the hair as well.

not you..i bought it when i first went natural. i loved the smell of the spray although i was never a fan of sprays. (and i thought i was doing something buying OLIVE OIL..lol) but i eventually got rid of it for the reason of drying out my hair.

I do the same thing as Wolf. I spray Surge on my scalp and follow with the Olive Oil spray and I don't have any itchiness from it.

It doesn't leave my hair weighed down, it gives it quite a nice shine.

And the thing is, it creates the most terrible mist! Last year, it set off the smoke detector in my dorm room, and I was spraying my head around 7 something in the morning. That was so embarassing. Talk about pissing your roommate off....

Honestly, I love that oil shine. It gives my hair wonderful shine, I use all of the ors olive oil products. It simply woke my hair up.......I guess different stuff for different folks

I just found an alternative being lusters pink glossifer, I find the ORS too heavy and quite drying.

O.K, that's it then, i'll bring it along to the UK meet if anyone wants it!

ETA: Speaking of mists, I held it 10" from her head and it still looked like a pile of snow forming

I like to use it when I roller set my hair. I spray it on my hair after it's rolled up, then I sit under the dryer. It doesn't seem heavy for my hair at all.

As much as I love the scent, I also got rid of my ORS Olive Oil Sheen spray. It seems that all oil sheen sprays worked well at first but could be drying over time; so I decided to just use natural and essential oils exclusively. However, if your hair responds well to oil sheen sprays ORS is a good one, it has great ingredients like aloe oil and contains no alcohol.

Even though it's light, I think it was the mineral oil in it that my hair didn't like.

Botanicals is a lite oil that adds nice sheen with a good smell. It doesn't come in an aerosol can though. You just have to pump it out and massage it in nicely.
