Almond or Coconut oil?

[darby123]

I have been thinking of buying either one for My hair. I like the smell of Almond and not so keen on the smell of coconut, also don't like the thought of heating up the coconut oil.

just brought philip kinsley elastizer---any one else tried it ?

tazzy I have tried that, and I didn't really like it, it made My hair very frizzy with loads of static.

I've been considering getting coconut oil because of all the positive reviews on here- but I hate the smell of coconut! I'm going to try almond oil next, I used Mystic oil and not very keen.

Never heard of mystic oil.

The coconut oil I got from the supermarket is odourless, a shame
Because I LoVE the smell of coconut. I just got the stuff you'd use for cooking. It melts in my hands quite quickly so no need to heat it up

Thanks herroyal it's the heating up that puts Me of, but if it melts then it's all good.

Another vote for the coconut oil here - what a difference it's made to my dry skin!

darby123 I saw people on here talking about the different hair oils, argon and morrocan etc and someone mentioned Mystic oil and after looking round Amazon Ebay etc I found samples farly cheap- literally only went for Mystic because of the samples! But it makes my hair kind of flyaway, which it has never been. Otherwise ok, I suppose, nothing special!

Oh if it's odourless I may get some! I saw some in Superdrug, a little white tub for £1.99 or so. Is that what people are using?

My coconut oil doesn't smell either

I think coconut with a hint of another oil sounds nice. But I think I will go for coconut oil in the end
scarfofsex ah I think I have heard of it, it's mythic oil, thought it was mystic

Oh oops haha you're right, guess my head is less mystic than I thought (and I should learn to read labels!)

My coconut oil is the one in the white pot from Superdrug and it's fab. It's solid so I scrape my thumbnail across it, melt the small amount in my palms and then rub through my wet hair. Do not use a lot - you seriously don't need it, a small amount goes a long way and it makes a massive improvement to the texture of my hair.

Hth's

I remember on qvc a lady from global gossess selling a gorgeous hair oil, it had quite a few different ingredients in there, it wasn't in a solid form. I always meant to buy that, but anyway they don't sell it anymore.

I use and love coconut oil for my hair and for ocm. Superdrug and Waitrose do a tub for £1.99.

If you use a hair oil, is it ok to use GhDs after? Or will I be frying my hair? Would it be ok if I put it on the night before and washed out?

I use coconut oil mixed with conditioner and sometimes I add a little tea tree oil or lavender oil for the smell.

lesser that sounds nice.

Yolks, yes if you GHD after using oil you will fry your hair. Wash it out first :)

If you are buying the 100% pure coconut oil (food grade) then it does smell of coconut. Im not sure whether the cheap stuff is suitable for a facial moisturiser or OCM but it should be OK for hair.

Akamuti does a wonderful coconut oil which does smell of coconut and is organic/food grade I think, as well as avocado oil and other oils, which I have used on my hair and they are all great at conditioning, I think oils work far better than any shop conditioning treatments in my opinion (I don't work for Akamuti, just came across them when I was struggling with eczema and dry skin). Extra virgin olive oil is also really good.
