Who uses a moisturizer with mineral oil

[kenkaikim]

I am interested in knowing who uses a moisturizer with mineral oil and their hair is thriving. Could you also list the name of the moisturizer?

I have been trying to avoid mineral oil because of all the things that I have heard about it, but I tried ORS Olive Oil in the jar yesterday and so far so good. I also have BB Oil Moisturizer and Elasta QP recovery oil moisturizer stashed away. Does anyone use those?

I was using S-Curl followed by an oil as a sealant, but I don't like the way it's feeling on my hair lately. I need help finding a moisturizing moisturizer!

I do, and it's hands down the best store bought moisturizer I've ever tried. It keeps my hair soft, smooth and moisturized. My 5 yo dd with 4a chronically dry hair is a thing of the past. Her hair stays soft and moist all day. I love squeezing her twists, cause they're so springy and squishy and soft It works for everyone in my house, for me (relaxed) my 5 yo (natural 4a) my 1 yo (natural 3c) and my dh (natural 4z) All of our hair is soft and very moisturized like never before!

What is this miracle in a bottle you ask? Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 Mifacle Worker!

I will definitely have to look for this because your hair is beautiful. Thanks!

If I am not mistaken, Keracare's Jojoba Oil Moisturizer has mineral oil in it. It has been a staple of mine for about two years. It is light and great at moisturizing. I either use it in conjunction with another leave-in moisturizer or, when my hair is flat ironed, by itself.

It all depends on what your hair can tolerate.

I use ORS Olive Oil in the jar and thats the best moisturizer I've tried so far. I been using it for about 2 1/2 years now and I dont want try any other moisturizer.

I am pretty sure that the keracare cream has mineral oil in it and there are some members that use that one.

I don't think there is anythign worng with a little mineral oil. I think there are times, when something with a mineral oil base will not really give you the deep moisture you may need, but other than that never see a problem with it.

My favorites don't have mineral oil in them, but If I found something I like with mineral oil and IT WORKED, I would have no problem using it.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Before I had ever heard anything negative about mineral oil, all of my moisturizers contained it and I never had any problems. I used ORS olive oil in the jar yesterday and I put BB oil moisturizer on today, just for comparasion, and my hair feels oh so soft.

I do not like mineral or petrolatum based styling products. I instantly see and feel a difference in my hair when I use that crap. I can only use Carols Daughter Healthy Hair Butter. Nothing else. There's no mineral/petrolatum or glycerine. Product absorbs in my hair, leaves it soft, moisturized and sheeny. I don't like the scent, but I deal with it.

I'm going to purchase a product called bioInfusion Olive Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion from Walgreens today. I heard about it on Afrobella and the reviews on the Walgreens site seem to be very good, so it can't hurt: http://tinyurl.com/6nkvtw

Contains none of the ingredients I don't like, so I'm willing to give it a shot for $8.00.

ETA: For the record, I'm natural. I have noticed that relaxed/texturized heads can use products with these ingredients and not get the same effects like a natural would.

I used to use the Keracare cream and I really loved it...Now I am using a mix of Carrot oil and shea butter, I may go back to the Keracare after that, we'll see

I use humectress as a daily moisturizer and I seal w/coconut oil. I absolutely love humectress. No issues whatsoever. I get moisturized shiny hair everytime. It makes my braidout look really prety IMO.

I stopped using Carol's Daughter "Marguerite's Magic" because it developed a very nasty black fungus in the jar. I took it back and got a credit. At least her products are very natural but fI just couldn't deal with 17 bucks for something that molded on me.

For years I was using lusters pink oil moisturizer which worked really well for me up until about 3 weeks ago when I switched to soft n free oil moisturizer which is mineral oil free, I wanted to see how different the moisture retention would be. Its working well so far but I cannot for sure say that my hair is anymore moisturised using the soft and free
If it ain't broke, guess it doesn't need to be fixed
