    I know that everybody had at least some oil on their hair.. but what i've seen and heard is that, one of my friends said that "if you put baby oil on your hair it seems softer and nicer", and she also did try that.
    Not just tried, but she mostly do that. and when i see her hair, it always looks so nice and soft and original as mine.

    so i was wondering, have any of you girls tried that before? cuz i know that guys wouldn't do that, besides putting gel on their hair. heck, guys don't even put hair spray on either! only gels....

    and is baby oil healthy for your hair? cuz sometimes that i've seen is that, when your hair looks dried or kind of thick, baby oil kinds of soften it.

    I tried it before but I don't like it. It weighs down my hair and makes it feel flat. But no, its not bad for your hair. I know a lot of girls that use it too.

    never tried it. but my mom gave me this bottle of something or another..its like baby oil and it makes my hair so soft -lol
     
  8. i guess it would make ur hair feel smoother since it's oil... but wouldn't it make ur hair feel greasy?? and i guess the baby oil can act as a layer of protection to stop all the harmful stuff in the air to damage ur hair...

    i've heard that olive oil actually works
    spread a bit over your hair right before you shampoo and leave it in for a bit, then do your regular routine and your hair should come out nice and shiny!
    i have yet to try it tho :p

    seems kinda oily... go for one of those spesho restoration conditioners. i use the patene one. its pretty good. it works better than those hot oil treatment and i'll assume that its better than lathering your hair in oil. i heard treating ur hair with eggs is also good. haha

    From what my instructor told me a while back, baby oil give the effect of lively hair, but it actually strip the natural oil off your hair making it dull looking when you use it too much. Plus it tend to look too oily.
