Pomegranate
I initially bought this oil for skincare (for myself and to
try in a custom blend for a client.)
Truthfully, for this purpose, despite it’s rave reviews (apparently Lupita Nyong'o loves it and we all
know her skin is FLAWLESS,) it really did not blow my skirt up. I found it a little too slow to absorb for my
taste, especially on the face. However,
fast forward to a few months later, it occurred to me to try it on Jubilee’s
hair, albeit reluctantly, for no other reason than I had it and could not bear
to throw it away. (I am an ingredient
junkie.)
Wow. Now this oil
blew my dreads back. It is light and
easily absorbed in hair. It works well
for daily use between washes, as well as sealing on wash days.
The price though, however is a little prohibitive for
pre-poos, oil rinsing and any hair projects involving massive amounts of oil
(unless you’ve got it like that.)
It blends well with other oils so makes a good mixing oil
for expensive hair finishing oil blends.
The best price for pomegranate oil that I have found is from
New Directions Aromatics.
Argan
This Morrocan oil is becoming more and more mainstream, and
with good reason. A lot of people love
it for skin and hair, even on its own without any mixing. As far as curly hair is concerned it is a
great finishing oil. It absorbs quite
well on most hair types and is suitable for daily use. I do find it way too light for pre-poo’s and
oil rinses. It is also quite costly,
which makes use beyond sealing purposes prohibitive for many.
I love to blend it with other oils in our Oggboo formulas
for its nutritive properties (we only use an organic, fair-trade and cold
pressed argan oil in our products.)
A lot of curlies love it on their skin too, because it is
also suitable for use on the face at all ages.
The best place to buy a high quality Argan Oil, in my
opinion is Shea Terra Organics. Be sure
to sign up for their newsletter which frequently offers great deals, including
30% off coupons on a regular basis.
Grapeseed
This may be my favorite hair oil of all time. It absorbs well in so many different textures
of hair, from straight to curly, and is great for the scalp. It does not build up easily and is quite affordable
when you buy it from your local grocery store.
Grapeseed oil works well as a pre-poo, oil rinse and sealing
oil. It also blends beautifully with
other oils.
Pracaxi
This exotic Brazilian oil is definitely an interesting one
for most curlies. It is heavier and
stickier than I expected, so I recommend either using it for a pre-poo or oil
rinse. I am not wild about it as a
sealing oil, or daily finishing oil between washes because of the stickiness,
for any hair texture, but I think it is an excellent choice for deep
conditioning, the above mentioned purposes and blending with other oils and
butters.
It defines curls nicely too!
It is rather expensive though, but used in a blend a little
goes a long way. The best quality and
price I have found for it is from New Directions Aromatics.
Castor
If your child has thin hair, baby baldness, slow growing
hair, scalp issues or is still trying to recover from patches hair patches lost
or growing slowly because of infant sleeping positions, then castor oil is your
friend. It is also highly moisturizing
so works great on very dry and coarse textures of hair too. For lighter textures it is too heavy to leave
in, so I suggest using it only as a pre-poo.
Castor oil promotes hair growth and thickening, and balances
an itchy scalp. It also provides
moisture for days, making it the ideal sealant for a protective style that you
intend to keep in for a while.
It is definitely not suitable for daily use if you are not
washing the hair every day. It is quite
inexpensive and is easy to get at any health food store or online.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil is my favorite. It is a darker color because the beans are
roasted first, and it is purportedly the resulting ash content of this oil that
makes it even more effective. The
roasted version does smell a bit ashy, so you will definitely want to haul out
your favorite essential oil for use with that one.
Products that contain castor oil also make excellent choices
for thicker, tighter and thirstier textures of hair, like 3’s and 4’s.

ReplyDeleteWe tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use eggs. I know we have to go abroad. I was terrified. I didn't know where to go and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended Dr Itua to me from western Africa I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country but I know they have powerful gifts on herbal medicines and I was afraid because of the language barrier. Anyway, she convinced me to give it a try. She told me that Dr Itua can also cure my prostate cancer which gives me more motivation to give a try to Dr Itua herbal center medicines. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr Itua has reasonable prices. I ordered two four bottles and I drank it as instructed and everything went well. My prostate cancer is gone. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses natural herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. We contacted Dr Itua and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple. Dr Itua was so confident and hopeful he projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr Itua herbal Cure . Don’t be afraid and just do it!
Dr Itua can cure the following diseases: Sickle Cell,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetes,Fibroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Lupus,Hpv,Weak Erection,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Chronic Diarrhea,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILIS,Cancer,Autism,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Doctor Itua Contact Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or Whats-App Chat : +2348149277967
