Compare oils by weight, spread, softness and realistic benefits. Not all oils are created equal when it comes to the unique structure of curly hair fibers.
Choosing Your Oil
Coconut oil is one of the few that can actually penetrate the hair shaft, making it great for strength but potentially heavy for fine hair. Argan and Jojoba are lighter, excellent for adding shine and sealing in moisture without a greasy finish. Castor oil is thick and best used for scalp treatments or very coarse textures that need extra lubrication.
