Will this mineral oil they're selling will it be ok to use on my hair and possibly my scalp? The mineral oil will be used as part of my moisturizing regimen and all around hair routine. Although I'm not too sure if it'll touch my scalp just yet but it...

Food grade mineral oil is okay for consumption so absorption through the skin/scalp is not a problem. Something you might want to consider is whether or not you really want to use mineral oil (baby oil is non-food grade mineral oil with added scent). Olive oil, almond oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, kukui nut oil...many options that I prefer for skin and hair.

I'm not sure about using on your hair. But, I had the same issue with dandruff and Phytonectar (available on Amazon) worked wonders. You can combine with Phytojoba shampoo but I used my regular shampoo with this oil. It has a strong smell though.

You can use this oil as heat protectant or massage about a dime-quarter size in your palm and rub/massage through damp hair. This oil is great if you stretch your hair after you wash it, put a little in your hair before stretching.

I have read where this could be used for hair and skin. I use it for cooking because of it's health benefits. I am going to get another one for my skin. It becomes semi-solid at room temperature so don't be alarmed if you get the item and it is solid or semi-solid. I hope this helps.

I have always used mineral oil for food surfaces like cutting boards. Not tung oil. I use tung oil for furniture and for stocks.

Hello, I want to say it does because this oil is powerful and it was a little to strong for my scalp. I didn't lose any hair but I truly believe it really has my hair growing like crazy now. I had to return this oil back because it was too strong but it left my scalp tingling. I never lost any hair at all. You can email the owners, they are so polite and very sure of their product. Just email them with your questions. I have tried it and it didn't take my hair out at all. I just wished I could have kept using it. I do believe this oil is for thinning and balding. It's all natural so I think it would work on your scalp and do what it is suppose to do. Sorry, I could not give you an firm detail answer.

It will depend on your hair type. I am Caucasian with fairly thick hair. I use a TINY bit rubbed between my palms to smooth flyaways, and it does not make my hair greasy because it's such a small amount. If you are looking for an all over hair moisturizing treatment, I'd try coconut oil instead.

Yes you sure can it works well as a carrier oil. It's not oily, evaporates easily and there's really no smell. It's good to use on your scalp and skin.

Where did you read that?! I suppose if you diluted it A LOT with a carrier oil like jojoba or almond, you could. Putting it straight onto your scalp would burn though! I once added cinnamon oil to some other oils to do a back massage for my husband, and it burned his skin! It's very potent and the burn lasts a long time. Rosemary oil is good for hair growth- and won't hurt your skin!

I suppose it depends on the reason you are wanting the oil. This has drying agents in it so that the hair is not greasy, but is still coated lightly. I have used pure oil on my hair, but not argon oil, and didn't like what it did to pillows or silk shirts when putting them on over my head. Both myself and my elderly mother use this product and like it very much. Her hair is silver and very dry and mine is dry-ish, short and fine, but thick, but I live in the desert and everything on my body is dry!!

A little goes a long way. Start off with no more than a half dollar size for the entire head if your hair is thick, quarter size if you have fine to medium hair. Massage it thru with your fingers, comb or brush for even distribution. I personally don't feel it is greasy afterwards...really it soaks right in. I have used at least 10-15 different natural oils on my hair, so I speak from experience. As always you have to experiment a little before you know how much for sure. It's great as a hot oil treatment too!
