Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil

Overall, I actually like this product. I have damaged 3a, fine, low porosity curly hair and bought this product hoping to alleviate PCOS related hair loss and some scalp and ends dryness. I saw so many people recommend this product with incredible before and after pictures, showing how this oil was practically able to work miracles and regrow their hair in only a few months. I’ve been using this product consistently for 4 months now and these are the results and some pro’s and con’s. Twice a week, I would part my hair and put a few drops on my scalp, then gently work it in with my hands. I tried leaving it in for 30 minutes before a wash, a few hours before, then eventually the night before I intended to wash my hair the next morning. Over the course of 4 months, there has been no difference in hair or scalp health and I’m still shedding and losing hair like crazy. The hair that grows back isn’t really growing in thicker, healthier or faster either- there really has been no difference. A month ago is when I decided to change how I use the product. After washing my hair, putting in my leave-in conditioner and styling with a denman brush, I started adding a few drops of this oil (only about 3-4) into my palms and would gently scrunch it into my hair. This is where the product really worked for me. It helped my hair curl and retain that curl for a lot longer! My hair looked shiny and was holding a lot better than it was before. Since my hair is low porosity and fine, I was worried that oil would weigh it down and make it greasy, but this particular oil is pretty easily absorbed into my hair. It’s a good oil and works with my low porosity hair, which is more than most oils do. I’ve been using it as a curl enhancer in my daily routine, but can’t give it a higher rating because it really just isn’t working as it was advertised. My scalp broke out a few times using it and my hair isn’t thicker, softer or healthier after using it for months. Here are the pro’s and con’s. Pro’s: Very Fragrant and Pleasant Smell Lightweight Absorbs Well into Low Porosity Hair Good Price for the Amount of Oil Given Long Lasting Helps Hold Curls Con’s: Did Not Help With Hair Loss Occasionally Caused Acne on Scalp Did Not Soften Hair Did Not Promote Thicker / Stronger Hair Hair Growth Speed Did Not Increase Everyone’s hair is different and there are a lot of different factors like the environment, genetics, application method, etc. that can have an effect on whether or not a product works for someone or doesn’t. These were the results after 4 months of trial and error- hopefully this information helps someone! I like this oil and will continue to use it to help my curls last longer throughout the day, but personally cannot vouch for it’s ability to promote hair growth and health.
