PETROLEUM AND MINERAL OIL FOR HAIR

[simsim1980]

Are they really that bad for hair?

I have used petroleum grease before and it was horrendous for my hair. I don't mind mineral oil in conditioners because I can wash it off.

I think people should use products that benefit their hair. If it contains petroleum, so be it. You should try ones without though and see what the big deal is about. If you do grease your hair/scalp, really try jojoba and or coconut oil, I highly recommend them!

both are bad news for the scalp cos they clog the pores and may inhibit growth plus they will build up and stink after a while. on the hair is excellent on mine cos they keep my ends moisturized and help them RETAIN the moisture i put in from scurl juice /images/graemlins/smile.gif

EXACTLY!

I do not use vaseline (petro) on the scalp, however, I use it on my hair and ends along with gylcerin/water. I LOVE it. I have definitely seen a big growth difference after implementing petroleum into my regimen.

I have started putting it on my ends and it definitely has helped. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

They work well on my ends, but I only use the vaseline on my scalp for basing before a perm!

Thank you all, and I notice that I dont get that much breakage has before. I dont use it petroleum or mineral oil on my scalp, only the ends and it does wonders for me
