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?

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
