[Michelle79]

I use Jojoba oil as a moisturizer & to control dandruff.

 

[Tee]

Coconut Milk - leaves hair baby soft and moisturized for days; also straightens new growth

Avocado oil - very nourishing to the hair; moisturizes without leaving hair feeling "heavy"

Olive oil - moisturizes and smooths out frizzy ends; great as a pre-treatment.

Shea oil, Camellia Oil - both of these moisturize and soften the hair without leaving an oily residue.

Jojoba oil - nice, light oil that works nicely on the ends

Coconut oil - smooths and adds shine to hair

Honey - boosts shine and moisture

 

[LABETT]

I only use Castor Oil and Evoo.

 

[AngelaP]

Safflower oil - great to add shine and doesn't weigh down hair.
Shealoe Butter - does a great job straightening my edges.

 

[Devi]

evoo/voo-added to conditioners, I dunno... it's makes it work better.

Honey- added to conditioners gives better manageability and a lil' shine. Also moisturizes.

Coconut oil- Straightens (a bit) and moisturizes new growth and is good for the length of my hair too.

Aloe vera- used with my leave in. MOISTURE. Lots of it.

ACV- more shine, and I use it to get rid of some residue, but not to clarify.

Castor oil- pretty much the same as coconut oil, but is heavier. Good for newgrowth and updos.

Jojoba oil- very light, but is good to seal in moisture. I like to use it when I want my hair extra bouncy.

Cranberry Juice- enhances any red that you have in your hair.

coconut milk- tried it for the first time today. I noticed that my hair felt softer and was very well conditioned.
