Thanks Sistah! I did a little research on mineral and it was just confusing. Then the comments about being sheep had me not knowing what to believe. But after watching your video and reading the comments, I to believe that mineral oil is something that I just could do without and don't need in my life. I wont have to throw out the products because I'lll just use them on my wigs, Lol...
when it come to natural hair, one size don't fit all ! after i have moisturized my hair i use a product with mineral oil to seal it in, i wash wkly with a mild sulfate(Johnson's baby shampoo), then do a apple cider vinegar rinse to remove all the bad stuff and my hair is doing just fine, its growing healthy, so its all about the way you take care of your hair !
Baby oil is harmful not only to your skin but also to your health..my dad is a pharmacist and he doesn't let me use it ..please watch my video: Mineral oil(baby oil) is bad for you..i really hope it helps
@brie38g You are so right! I just got through commenting about my experience with that, it appears softer, but sooner or later it will dry that mug out lol! Since I am natural all I uses is ECO, EVO, jojoja Oil, rosemary leaves, garlic, beautiful curls leave in conditioner and Alaffia hair lotion, My hair has been bra strap length and still growing it will be waist length by the beg. of the year or the end of the year! But all I say is stay away from products that coats your hair so true!
mineral oil is not supposed to be a moisturiser its a water sealant, its supposed to lock water in which it does. if you use it like a moisturiser your hair will be dry. so mineral oil is not bad. its just another bandwagon for naturals to jump on. its like leading sheep to the slaughter.
@potterylady1 You are one smart lady. Baby oil is just scented mineral oil. Mineral oil is also used as a laxative both orally and anally. Some diets recommend mineral oil over other body lotions because the body won't absorb it and impede weight loss. Unlike natural oils, it does not get racid over time so it will be perservative-free!
Any way I agree: Moisturize then seal (with the oil of your choice).
Mineral Oil coats the hair it can be used in retaining moisture. Many naturals demonize Mineral oil and in a way that is one sided. If you are not using a shampoo (sulfate or sulfate-free) then it is not wise to use products with mineral oil. If you are shampooing regularly (at least once a week with a shampoo) Then mineral oil is not a problem. I am stressing shampoo not co-wash because conditioner washing is not strong enough to remove mineral oil or most products.
Thanks for explaining this. Ironically, I used vaseline to "grease" my scalp when i was natural in High School. My hair was long and thick. People would ask me what I used on my hair...I also notice that all the products that moisturize my hair to my liking either contain mineral oil, petroleum or both. Why is that? I've had to toss out several of the products after finding out about this! Dang that bites!! LOL!
thanks for the info. i looked on wikipedia after watching your video and it says how mineral oil is desirable for wooden cutting boards and utensils because of its ability to prevent water absorption!
it also coats ur scalp n prevents hair growth...also ur hair is dope!
what did u do to it?
can u use the same coconut oil that is in the shortening/cooking oil section at the grocery store? lol i wanted to by some but didn't know if i should or not
You can use any coconut oil that is extra virgin and certified organic. Most jars have directions on cooking, skin, and hair use. I got my jar at Whole Foods near the vitamins. I'll be doing a video on coconut oil on Sunday.
At night I put 8-10 big loose twist in my hair and roll the twist with perm rods. I do that on damp hair. You will get a looser bigger curl!
I guess different people different result

I don't think mineral oil or any oil is a moisturizer. Water is the moisturizer and the oils just seal it in.
