I use it as a pre-poo and mix it with thinner consistency oils to make it more manageable to apply... I am having trouble using it though because it is so thick and my hair gets tangled when I apply even when mixed. I apply to dry hair because that is what I read to do. Any tips? I love the way it smells though I know some don't care for the scent. It is smoky and I really love that smell.
I am interested in hearing your thoughts regarding results after a few months. Please let us know how it goes and good luck!
That actually was the reason I ended up mixing it with my conditioner - it makes it so much easier to apply! My conditioner already had a bit of argan oil in it so there is an emulsifier to make the smooth texture... Maybe try mixing it with some basic light moisturizer? There is some emulsifier used in moisturizers anyway so it will change the viscosity of the oil.
I actually have a little experiment going on with oils. Castor oil for hair, and grape seed oil as daytime moisturizer and argan oil as night cream. So far I'm super happy! My skin hasn't looked this good in years! Oily T-zone and dry-as-desert cheeks are gone!
Thanks for the castor oil advice Kalomeli and woohoo on your success with oil application to your skin!
