    My toddler daughter recently suffered alopecia due to another medical condition and I was almost in tears when her doctor said she might not grow her hair back. I am talking about bald spots the size of a baseball in back of her head. I have been using dr Miracle's feel it formula with some success but i am REALLY interested in what you posted here. Can't wait to see what you post!

    This is good. The only thing on this list that I already use is olive oil. I've been wanting to try out other oils for a while now.

    I really want to try olive oil too. I have an Olive Oil sheen spray from ORG that I use and that's pretty good. My only issue with oils is that it makes my hair so lifeless and weighed down. Even if it's just a little bit. I am trying to find a way to make sure that my hair gets the moisture that it needs with oils, without weighing it down. decisions.. decisons... decisions.....

    Pinkie, I have the exact same problem. I usually wait to use olive oil when I am about to resort to ponytails and wash n go styles. In the meantime, I use the Aveda Brilliant serum and it seems to keep my hair moisturized without weighing it down. But I totally feel your pain on the slightest amount of oil making your hair lifeless. My friend just came out with a line of natural hair products. Check them out: www.luvamourai.com

    For those of you interested in using a combination of the previously mentioned oils pre-mixed, try Kera Care essential oils for the hair. Here is a list of the ingredients:
    sunflower seed oil
    peanut oil
    castor oil
    coconut oil
    jojoba oil
    sesame oil
    aloe vera oil
    almond oil
    olive oil

    After reading this post, I purchased peppermint oil and added it as well. I plan to get vitamin e and the essential oils mentioned in this post to add to this premix.

    I use this Kera Care mix daily (very little before wrapping at night).

    It has an option for use as a thermal styling agent as well.

    After a fresh wash I rub about a nickel worth in my palm and fingertips and rub throughout my hair. I use the blowdryer briefly to make sure that it is applied throughout and style with a curling iron. The results are amazing. Shiny healthy hair. I make curls all throughout and wear a cute 1940's curl wave look. I wrap nightly for the next few days and repeat. I have been using Kera Care for about a month and I love it. Not too heavy. I added the peppermint about a week ago.

    Esquire and Pinkie using this product esp as a thermal styling agent leaves my hair looking and feeling flowly and weightless.
    Good luck!

    Thanks for the tip for using castor oil for thinning hair. Is it only thick as long as you continue to use it and once you stop your hair is thin again?

    I have been growing lock for 4 years now. I have tried everything you can imagine just to see what works. I have found that natural oils mixed in a non alcohol product works best for me. My girlfriend says it weighs her hair down and I agree but keep in mind I have locks and depending on the style you wear you may appreciate this affect. I quickly noticed that with natural oils my hair had more shine, hold, grew longer and even locked quicker. I have thick hair that gets dry for no reason, so for me natural oils are the only way. I recently mixed EVOO in with some other oils today and I already like it. It's just extra from what was already working for my hair. You have to see how far my locks have come in four years using these natural oils. They are healthy, long and neat. Tip: use what works best for your hair type but try to use all natural products and stay away from alcohol and propane products. the more natural the better especially if you have locks.

    A good company to find essential oils online is www.nematinternational.com . I order many essential oils from this company for both hair and skin.
