Which "oil girl" are you?

[pistachio]

I've noticed that the ladies on here usually are one or the other a(n): olive oil girl, or a coconut oil girl. Me personally my hair LOVES coconut oil, but olive oil doesn't do well on my hair. Coconut oil is absorbed, and nurishes my hair whereas olive oil just coats, but doesn't penetrate my hair like the coconut oil does. I think it has something to do with the molecule size of the oils.

Coconut girl checking in, lol! I do use olive oil as a pre-poo though; but, I prefer coconut oil to seal in moisturizers because it gives shine like no other IMO.

 

[zora]

Great thread! I'm a l'huile miskiti girl for pre poo. And a jojoba girl for the ends.

Where do you get coconut oil from and about how much does it cost?

 

[crlsweetie912]

Coconut oil for me! Only because I got both and was so hooked on the coconut oil that I didn't even try the olive oil!


Brownsugababe:
You can get coconut oil from whole foods, any health food store, From nature with love and there are some nice ones on ebay! Coconut oil is very inexpensive! HTH!

 

[B_Phlyy]

Coconut oiler checking in. Olive oil just sits on the top of my hair and I look like a grease monkey.

 

[SpyCats]

Neither...lately I have been using jojoba oil to seal after applying a leave-in.

Coconut for the reasons you mentioned, but I use EVOO on prepoos and to deep condition, it adds intense slip!

 

[RainbowCurls]

Coconut oil for me too.

I use olive oil sometimes in conditioner mixes though. It's too greasy to use otherwise though.

 

[BrownSkin2]

I voted olive oil, but I mostly use castor oil for hot oil treatment and sealing my ends. Wow, I must try coconut oil. I seems pretty good from all the reviews.

 

[HoneyDew]

Neither. I use Kemi Oil, but I am interested in Coconut oil. Not the solid one, but the Vatika oil.

I like the solid Coconut oil, but I don't use it as often.

Co-signin'... There's jojoba in my spritz bottle for wetting my hair as well.

Thanks. I will definitely get some this weekend.

 

[thesweetone]

Coconut Oil! I dropped my Jojoba with a quickness after I tried this. I got my tub from Whole Foods!

 

[Nice & Wavy]

I voted Coconut oil, but I do use Olive oil for pre-oil shampoos and I use Jojoba oil on my ends when my hair is dry. I love coconut oil when my hair is wet...it melts into my hair and makes it really soft.

 

[seymone]

I am a coconut oil lover... But I do use EVOO in my mixtures..

 

[Vshanell]

My hair likes both but I voted coconut oil because it's my favorite. I like it because it's so light and my hair absorbs it better than evoo.

@ your siggy pic. Girl your hair is sooo pretty. Those ringlets are too cute!

 

[sareca]

Although I'm mainly using amla and kemi now, if I only had coconut and olive in the house I'd use the coconut oil.

Honeydew you must've been reading my mind because I've been meaning to dc w/ plain yogurt. It's been on my mind for weeks, lol.

 

[Nenah]

Coconut Girly Olive oil for deep conditioning

 

[keluric]

aww, I can't vote.. I definitely use both. I have yet to find an oil that my hair doesn't like.. or at least tolerate ;-)

 

[mw138]

My hair LOVES coconut oil!

 

[FAMUDva]

Neither...lately I have been using jojoba oil to seal after applying a leave-in.

That's what I'm talking about! Jojoba ALL THE WAY!

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

I'm interested in trying coconut oil after hearing such great things about it. But I'm actually a castor oil kinda girl. I just make sure not to use too much because it can get sticky.

 

[Babygurl]

I couldnt vote as it just wouldnt be fair, I use the two oils equally, Ive just been using olive oil longer because its the first oil that I learned had a benefit for the hair.

Your hair is absolutely stunning!!! How long between pics?

 

[camellia]

I couldn't vote because I really love both. But my number one favorite oil is unrefined hemp seed oil.

My oil? I get my coconut oil from Whole Foods Market for $13.00

you're right about that actually, because I remember a couple of years ago starting out I used olive oil mixed with conditioner and it gave me TONS of slip.
