I agree. I'm going to use this next to make hair cream. Shea is too heavy for my hair.

Search and I are not getting along, so I am going to post this here before I forget. Currently, the three oils that produce little-to-no film on the hair during oil rinsing (non-sealing) are pumpkin, wheat germ, and babassu, in that order. If there are others, please let me know.

I think grapeseed and jojoba. Some people use grapeseed oil on their face to lock in moisture.
That oil is very drying to me. Grapes are not moisturizing anyway... lol nutty and fatty oils are better to seal in moisture, but yes they do leave a film.

Jojoba stripped my hair, very light film. My sebum is more sealing than that crap. I have to try grapeseed again.

I wouldn’t bother with grapeseed oil again either. I can’t do those two oils. They dry my hair out.

That is probably why I cannot fully remember why I stopped using it. I think it did nothing for me.

I've used grapeseed to remove makeup. I don't care for either oils in my hair or to moisturize anything. I get better use out of sunflower, sweet almond, and tamanu. These are my go to.

The Whole Foods near me has a section of misc. products that are "50% off the marked price". Sooooo, Acure Citris Ginger Argan Oil was marked down to $9.74. I looked at some reviews of the product, checked expiration range, then checked the dates on the bottles. All of them were expired. Smelled each oil and none of them went rancid yet, so I felt it was still a good buy for $4.37. Don't judge me. 
(Yes, I'm one of those people that use items after the expiration date, except for food. That's just nasty.)
Why did they try to charge me full price! The cashier called for assistance, assistance took too long, he gives them to me for $4.50 each (I didn't argue), I paid for my items, and proceeded to leave. Assistance finally shows and states that the lowest price on the bottle ($9.74) was the sale price. That is not what the sign said! Anyhoo, since I already paid, I got to keep my products at the reduced price.
I gave a whole soliloquy to say that I saved some money.

I flat ironed my hair today using the roundbrush technique during the blow dry. I got my hair straighter than it has ever been at my own hands. So exciting! If y'all only knew how long it took before I got decent at this...
And I'm full APL. Just a few more inches to BSL. I'm not nearly as obsessed with this as I used to be so I'm not in a rush to get there but it's just a few inches away and cool to see this come to pass.

OMG. I've never considered this. I think I need to do an experiment with using it alone for a couple weeks because I've always felt the need to mix it with other oils. I definitely know I can't remoisturize with it. The entire concept of an oil being stripping is blowing my mind right now.
I only ever use mine layered under DC because, again, it doesn't work when my hair needs moisture.

I'm in crochet Senegalese twists now. Work is extremely busy and I don't foresee it dying down anytime soon, so I'll most like stay in long term protective styles for the next 7 months (crochet braids or Ghana braids) I do have weddings to attend in December and February and I want to straighten, so those will be my break periods. My hair is colored, but I'm not sure if I should bother with touch ups until I'm wearing my hair out on a more regular basis again.

I can barely go in target these days and not go in the hair section. I’ve been restraining but still....
Then a trusted junkie tells me to try oyin whipped pudding. I don’t need nothing. Nothing. But the way my curiosity be set up. And the way satisfaction is set up.
Between @rileypak and real life, y’all get on my nerves.

I cringe when that happens..A hair snagged on my sweater the other day. While I should be annoyed, I'm happy because it means my hairs getting longer

On break
My regimen is FINALLY getting to the stage wherein I don't want to NOT do it, if that makes any sense. I don't want to lack any of the steps, and I don't want to miss out on most products in my designed regimen. Yay!

Wish has some really cute headwraps. I just wish more of the styles came in basic colors. Tip: don’t get the ones with three short corners hanging down- they look like floral du-rags.
Thinking about when it cools down more, I also purchased a sinar tichel and hope to use the design to create a pattern for me to make more.
Headwraps make winter protective styling a lot more fun.
