Hair oil for thin hair oily rooots ?

Can anyone recommend a good lightweight hair oil I could apply to my ends ? I have very oily roots and my hair is very thin at the moment due to postpartum hair loss but the ends feel like straw . I can't use heavy conditioners or masks as it makes my hair even oilier but thought maybe a lightweight oil used very sparingly in the ends might do the trick ?

I'm pretty much the same as you, so interested to hear of any recommendations! I've always had fine, sparse hair and I too have oily roots but incredibly dry ends.
I've tried Rehab oil capsules that Stacey Solomon promotes but can't say I've noticed any improvement.

I use Olaplex no 7 bonding oil, very fine hair and it does not weigh it down at all. I used Moroccanoil previously which is very similar, I tend to switch between whichever is cheapest at tome of ordering.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime (?) is excellent and exactly what you need, use it on mid-length to ends only, when damp. Makes hair look so lovely you don't even need to heat dry or style afterwards (unless you want to)! The downside is it's expensive, but you only need a tiny bit.

Inecto naturals coconut serum is really light - in a pump action bottle. I also like OGX coconut miracle oil which is a spray.

I have thin hair that used to be very greasy but with age has become much drier. Do still need to take care not to get it into the roots though.
