Got2b Oil-Licious Styling Oil, $5.99

If frizz and static are your main concerns this time of year, you'll love this oil. It's a blend of argan, Marula, and white grape seed, and it can be used on damp or dry hair. We suggest rubbing a few drops between your palms after you heat style, and smoothing it over flyaways and ends. Your hair will look great even after you pull off your wool hat.

My wonderful experience with John Frieda's "Thermal Protection Serum" has left me open to trying other oils. My hair is far more healthy now, with body and shine. It breaks less often.

good stuff to know

I love the got2b oilicious line, i had the triple hair line spray and it works great to tame fly aways and add shine. i def recommend it!

Thanks for the info. However, the list has too many products that are mixed with silicones, mineral oil and/or petrolatum. Since silicones and mineral oil and petrolatum block the other 'good' oils from penetrating the hair shaft and they are so cheap to manufacture I can't see paying the prices listed for these "elixirs". The Moroccan Oil line has the same blend as these "elixirs" so I wonder whether it would be considered a nice product as well. As others have stated, it is probably more cost-effective and product wise to go straight to the source and pick up pure maruli, argan, tamanu, coconut, jojoba or extra virgin olive oil, all cold-pressed of course.

Love the descriptions, but additional help would be whether product is OTC (some are obvious) or salon-purchase. Some beautiful and beneficial oils here and I've used quite a few ... wonderful for scratchy, over-processed (ouch), frizzy (tropical weather), sunshiny, but none-the-less, beautiful hair !!!

Where's Moroccanoil? I've used it for years and will never go without it. It's my favorite!

by WiccanLady Friday, February 1, 2013 at 04:51PM Report as inappropriate

These all sound really nice. I have super fine hair, but these sound like enough even for me! I've recently begun using body oils, so I might have to venture into hair oils (I'm still afraid of face oils...)

by mlenaei Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 02:08PM Report as inappropriate

I am anxious to try Loreal's hair oils, nourishing and the detangler with milk :) I love the new hair oils and my fine-frizzy hair will appreciate them too.

I'm ready to try Kerastase Elixir Ultime. I got a free sample today, what a coincidence!!!

I did not like L'Oreal's Mytic Oil. It did nothing for me. Moroccan oil is the best I have tried!

by Chris213 Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 07:30PM Report as inappropriate

Good range of prices for these hair oils.

How can you leave out the BEST oil for the hair in the world, SHU UEMURA Essence Absolue?

by kleiman Monday, January 28, 2013 at 09:41PM Report as inappropriate

Where can u buy this Motions brand oil?

by pomomakeup Monday, January 28, 2013 at 09:40PM Report as inappropriate

I buy Ion's Inspired by Nature Nourishing Oil Treatment from Sally's Beauty Supply and it works wonders! Its a blend of baruti and passionflower oils that work great together. It is fairly cheap as well. About 10 bucks.

I'm definitely intrigued by hair oils but have such fine hair I worry about them weighing it down or looking greasy really quickly. It would be more helpful to see which hair oils are suited for certain hair types or hair needs.

by HeathRene Monday, January 28, 2013 at 02:41PM Report as inappropriate

I have tried the mythic oil which is too light, but I am dying to try the Keratase Elixir Ultime Moringa Immortel.

Thanks for the info! what timing. I was shopping for a hair oil this weekend on line, when my husband said he was leaving to get his hair cut. So, I gave him a peice of paper with the words (Moroccan, and Argan) on it. He came back with matrix Boilage's Exquisite Oil. The words sure fit it. This oil is oure heaven! A Little pricey, but my hair is long and worth it:) Ladies, you gotta try this stuff! AMAZING!

by Hippygirl Monday, January 28, 2013 at 02:28PM Report as inappropriate

I love oils for my long thick curly hair . My absolute favorites are vatika oil, grapeseed oil and Jamaican black castor oil and there are all inexpensive.

argan oil has changed my life no joke

by LittleBunny Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 08:18PM Report as inappropriate

I'm glad there are some cheap oils on this list. I'll have to pick one up and try

by thequietnoise Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 06:34PM Report as inappropriate

I don't feel like this article did a very good job convincing me to start using oil. Wasn't that the point?

by bride040612 Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 03:35PM Report as inappropriate

I've been using some Argan oil and I really like how it makes my hair look and feel.

by LipglossandSpandex Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 02:03AM Report as inappropriate

I can't decide which I adore more: Orofludio Elixir or Oscar Blandi Olio di Jasmine. My hair has quite the crush on both products. It's nice to see one salon product here though: I would love to see more.

I want Got2b

by EricaF123 Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 02:46PM Report as inappropriate

I don't know about including Motions oil on this list...all of their oil based products are pretty greasy and can get messy. Even coarse hair doesn't need that much product to be moisturized. I looooooooooove argan oil...Josie Maran products are good but you can find nice argan oil products that are much cheaper.

argan oil has saved my hair

by LittleBunny Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 03:41PM Report as inappropriate

I just bought the Ojan oil and so far I really love it! I've used their products in the past and had great results. I"m not sure why I haven't been using them but this beautiful oil may just lead me back.

There are some great oils here. Thanks for the info

I got a sample of the Mythic oil and I adore it but I cant find it in stores near me. Does anyone know where they sell it??

by rachel_harville Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 08:52PM Report as inappropriate

At last! Been using Moroccanoil since it appeared on my Hairdressers shelf. A little disappointed u didn't mention it, but I'll forgive u. I have used others, some u mentioned & like them. Just prefer my very own "liquid Gold". Have u tried using it as a Body EVERYTHING ? MY LEGS, ARMS, FEET........All soft as a babies tush! I even use it on my Yorkie ! His very dry skin is now NOT so very dry! And NO, I do not work for them. Maybe I should.. ♥

Great products, although I just purchase Almond, Coconut, or EVOO

by applepiealamode Friday, November 23, 2012 at 08:48PM Report as inappropriate

I have a love hate relationship with oil. Some is too thick for my hair and weighs it down even having thick curly hair and others my hair just laughs at and you cant even tell there's anything in it. That being said, I use coconut oil in my hair and that works fine. You can buy it at Whole Foods and it last forever. It can also serve double duty as body oil. I also use Argan oil from Walgreens. I forgot which brand it is but it works wonders as well.

by GlamDoll Friday, November 23, 2012 at 07:57PM Report as inappropriate

Two weeks ago, I bought a "Total Beauty Collection" package off of you guys. It contained five types of beauty products. One of which was a hair oil treatment called Alfaparf Milano Cristalli Liquidi Serm. If you are considering this a worthy product to put in your total beauty package, then why didn't it make this hair oil list? Where does the product you sent me rank in your hair oil list?

by Hippygirl Friday, November 23, 2012 at 07:03PM Report as inappropriate

Joico makes a great oil finishing product.

by robyne00 Friday, November 23, 2012 at 02:38PM Report as inappropriate

Most of these don't even have member ratings nor the ratings of the people who tried it. I myself have Always used 100%coconut oil and so does everyone else in Hawaii who wants nice hair. It's much cheaper than all of these and last longer. Also Chi silk infusion is lovely and light.

by Lani702 Friday, November 23, 2012 at 11:55AM Report as inappropriate

The best beauty product I've ever used is not included in this list. Moroccaniol is marvelous. Not just because the results are spectcular, but because it's so reliable. Most products stop being so great after a few uses, but Moroccanoil works every time. Shiny, soft, sleek and it never ever looks or feels greasy. Plus, the scent is intoxicating! A small bottle lasts a good long time. Try it ladies!

thanks for the info, I use pro naturals moroccan argan oil which is my favorite and leaves my hair shiny, soft and healthy. :)

by monique07 Friday, November 16, 2012 at 08:24AM Report as inappropriate

I loooove using an oil right before I blow-dry my hair. It does make a difference in how soft it is, but also the manageability!

by volta Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 09:54PM Report as inappropriate

Thanks for highlighting different oils with a great price range. I love using oil to nourish my skin and hair.

by alictasia Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 03:20PM Report as inappropriate

This is a great article and nice to see different oils highlighted in addition to argan oil. One thing to throw out there though, as a heads up- I've tried several of the more expensive oils mentioned and found them not be better than the less expensive oils on this list. Folks- don't get drawn into the hype that more $$$$ means a better product. With these oils, its not necessarily true.

i"ve been using the motions marula hair oil on my daughter's hair,its simply fantastic,it detangles,conditions,leaves a great shine without been greasy,a lil goes a long way too

I've always wanted to try the Kerastase oil but it's a bit too pricey. I have the Dove one and it's quite nice!

The Avon oil is great!! I want to try that Ojon oil though! I will be trying the others as well though

I agree with monique, that argan oil is amazing, though the featured products also look great!
