Default oils

i also read that indian hemp and olive oil are great for you hair as a moisturizer. my brother uses all natural coconut oil though and i read that that works as well. if i use the indian hemp, olive oil, and coconut oil do you think that will be a good idea or should i just use one or the other ? :/

What benefits are you looking to get from each individual oil?

What do you need to use the oil for? I use a mixture of jbco, coconut oil, and evoo. I was using plain jbco at first, but it was too thick. And my hair looves all 3 oils. Id recommend any of them to help with moisture.

I have never used Indian hemp but I use all the others. I think all of those oils are good. One thing to note is oils are not moisturizers they are sealants. Moisturizers are simply products that are water-based and nourish your hair deep within the strand.Since water is the ultimate moisturizer, water-based products are best for really getting the greatest moisture benefit. A light coating of oil after your daily moisturizer will help seal the moisture inside. Oils are made of large molecules. These molecules are too large to absorbed by the hair strand. The key is to use the oil to "lock in the moisture." If you use oils without a moisturizer or before one, the oil will seal the moisture out of the hair strand and lead to a coated feel and eventual dryness. If you are trying to moisturize then you need to find a moisturizer. Curly Nikki has a list of moisturizers that you can try on this site. I really hope this was helpful
