Can't have enough of those good oils!

Oils...oils...oils...I love me some good oils! But when is it too much? I was watching a product review of BB's new natural hair line "Tropical Roots" on YouTube by AfricanExport.  By the way, she has such nice natural hair. Love it!.

As she read the ingredients of the Tropical Roots' growth oil, she mentioned Canola oil. That got me thinking, wait a minute, canola oil??? I know that extra virgin olive oil is good for the hair, but I didn't know that canola oil was also a good moisturizing product. Gosh! I cook with canola oil all the time ... what have I been missing.  As I researched, I found the following information about canola oil from this website:

According to the "Alternative Field Crops Manual," canola oil is high in both oil and protein-- two ingredients that play a role in restoring hair's health.

So, let's see how many oils I now use for my hair,....and I do have a good reason for each and every one of these oils.  LOL!!

Here is my list from most important and used to least.

Jojoba oil             check!
Coconut oil          check!
Vitamin E oil        check!
Wild Growth oil   check!
BB Growth oil     check!
Tea tree oil          check!
EV Olive oil        check!
Grapeseed oil     check!
Almond oil         check!
Orange oil         check!


 Should I add canola oil to this evergrowing list?  I am on the bench about this. Actually, I don't think I will be doing this. I just ordered Jamaican Black Castor Oil and excited about trying it for my edges.  This will probably be replacing Dr Miracle Temple and Nape balm that I currently use.  I will keep you all updated regarding this product once I start testing it.

So, what is the one oil that you can't live without? How has oils help improve the health of your hair?

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
