What is the best moisturizing natural oil?

[Poohbear]

I use a mixture of Jojoba, Carrot, Aloe Vera, and Olive Oil. It smells great. I also have a separate bottle of Coconut Oil, its not mixed with anything. it works great on my hair too but isnt as moisturizing as my oil mixture.

 

[Ayeshia]

i purchased some kemi oyl and so far so good. i only used small amounts and it made my hair shiny/soft and it didnt sit on my hair like EVOO

I want to try the Dabur Vatika Coconut Oil next

I have to say that castor oil mixed with sweet almond oil is the most moisturizing. Other oils kinda coat the hair and make it shine, etc. but I have found that castor oil actually mositurizes as well as giving it shine, etc.

I didn't think that oils could really moisturize on their own but castor oil does. it reminds me of honey. it's thick and it's a humectant.

 

[ATLwavylocks]

Castor and coconut!

 

[ATLwavylocks]

Oh yea, can't forget my beloved Dabur Vatika

 

[lexi_24]

My hair likes virgin coconut oil.

 

[LEOLADYSW]

I am a newbie, but I thought jojoba oil was the best oil because it is closest to natural sebum. Am I wrong?

 

[Boadicea]

Had to go with other: Meadowfoam

 

[ricochet]

Castor, coconut and avocado.

I like jojoba, best; however, I haven't tried enough different oils yet. The week after next, I plan on ordering: coconut, amla, meadowfoam, coconut, carrot, emu, castor, shea, and flaxseed from the fromnaturewithlove site

ditto, but make sure they are pure 100% whatever you decide. perfect blend would be...castor, amla, emu, jojoba, olive, flaxseed and meadowfoam. ummmmm!

 

[Jenai]

My hair seems to like a mix of oils.

 

[oglorious1]

Pure Amla Oil by far

 

[shawniegee]

Coconut, avocado and castor

CO SIGNING!!!

 

[FlowerHair]

For me: jojoba oil and olive oil.

 

[mochamadness]

I use all of the following and I find them equally moisturizing. I can't really say which one is better because I usually mix some of these oils together

jojoba
castor
avocado
meadowfoam
olive
wheat germ

 

[Bublnbrnsuga]

Can I get a 'whoop whoop' for coconut oil?

 

[jasmin]

I have very, very dry hair and the only thing that has worked is castor oil. I just bought some isoplus castor oil / softee castor oil (has some coconut and jojoba oil in it) and I'm loving it. The only thing that has worked besides the castor oil is Blue Magic. I like the Softee brand the best because it also smells good.

 

[Zuppy]

Jojoba Is The Best!

 

[miracle]

Pure cocoa butter oil

 

[amy1234]

jojoba oil for me

 

[Dolapo]

how heavy is castor oil? is it as light as jojoba oil?

 

[sugaplum]

Castor oil is the BOMB

Oh yeah

My hair "drinks" this up and I like the way it flows over my nedw growth.

 

[Boadicea]

I had to go with 'other'. So far Meadowfoam oil is the best for my hair.

 

[Zuppy]

NOOooooo. Castor has the consistency of honey. It's VERY thick.

 

[Dolapo]

NOOooooo. Castor has the consistency of honey. It's VERY thick.

So it has to be mixed. with maybe jojoba oil. right? or how do people use it?

 

[AudraChanell]

I didnt vote becauz I havent tried them all. However I use EVOO and like it a lot.

I mix castor with few drops of ylang ylang for a super-charged moisturizing oil for my ends -- especially during the dry winter months. The ylang cuts the thickness of castor AND adds that lovely lovely smell to the hair! I use a two to one ratio - two drops castor, one drop ylang, rub in palms and apply to ends only.

 

[senimoni]

So how does one stay moisturized and oiled without looking like a greasy hot mess?

By not over-doing it. I use just the two drops castor and one drop ylang on my ends only once a day -- anything more weights my hair down.
