Oil that is! All oils! My hair is always the most supple,smooth and soft after I have wet it and massaged various oils in. It is greasy as it dries, but when it does yum yum! On the contrary, when I use creams, my hair gets dingy, coated, hard, etc...all those things that shouldnt describe one's hair...its the same with butters, like mango..my hair loves it. So i think maybe natural products is the way to go for me and I'll only use "synthetic" products for protein....does anyone else have hair that responds best to oil..not oil based and oil based products???
