Find the right natural oil for your hair

I love using the natural oils for hair beauty and health such as olive and coconut oils. I have also been experiencing fantastic results.  The other day, however, I was reading an article by hair professionals who made fabulous recommendations for afro textured hair.  I would like to share that information with you here.


According to the Beauty/Hair Q&A column in "Ebony", Mark Townsend, Hollywood hair stylist states that natural oils are a source of hydration but not all are the same.  "Oil molecules that are too large to penetrate the hair shaft weigh down tresses without sustaining sheen."  He further states that argan oil is good, but that it builds up on the hair and can make it look dull and limp. 

Mr. Townsend goes on to recommend coconut, jojoba oil and almond oil, which are lighter weight and penetrate more deeply.
