What are the different reasons for using the oil over the conditioner and vice versa?

Not really sure...this is the first time I have used this oil on wood cutting board and it seems to work really well

I've used both and here's my take:The oil is much better for working surfaces (butcher blocks, cutting boards, etc). The conditioner is probably better for long-term wood preservation.I have a large butcher block island (Ikea) and sealed it with both the OIL and CONDITIONER. The OIL was far better, both in absorption and protection. The wood felt good and didn't stain. The CONDITIONER left a residue and the wood stained easily (bowls, food, etc). With the conditioner I re-surfaced (sanded) my butcher block every 6 months. With the OIL I just reapply it every 6 month.

I have used both the oil and the conditioner. I have two cutting boards, both hardwood, one old board and one new board. For the old board (3" thick oak that I have used 40 years), I prefer the conditioner which gives a waxy, burnished surface and does a good job cleaning the board up. My new board (black walnut 3" thick) I applied multiple coats of oil to condition the wood. I used 3 coats front and back to begin. The oil will sink right in on a brand new air-dried board. The oil keeps the wood from drying out, brings out the grain, enhancing the beauty and the usefulness of the board. Each week when I was first using the new board, I have applied a couple of coats of oil. The board now looks and acts as if it is about 5 years old. I sometimes apply the conditioner after the oil as the beeswax gives some impenetrability to the wood. Both products are excellent, and I would now not go without having them! I also think the conditioner makes knife "tracks" a little less visible. My sons do not want to use their boards because of the beauty of the walnut, but of course the value of a good cutting board is its use in creating delectable things. Using these products will also make it easier to pat or roll out biscuits without them sticking to the board.

No I haven't. I use this with their conditioner and does what you are looking for.

You add it into your conditioner. It works wonders! Also if you want you can use it as a pre-poo treatment. By that I mean take as much as you need in your hand and apply the oil directly to the ends of your hair. Then put your hair in a top knot/bun and let the oil sit on your hair for at least an hour then when you are ready to rinse the oil out follow up with your favorite shampoo and conditioner. I was able to tell the difference of my hair in just the first wash.

There is a turn knob that allows one to turn the unit off and on as well as control the amount of oil diffusing. If a person wants a strong concentration of the oil the knob is turned all the way up and vice versa, the oil runs out rapidly when turned all the way up.

I am not sure if there is a noticeable difference between the two, but I can say there is a noticable difference between using the products and not. I currently only use the shampoo and conditioner but my hair is noticeably thicker, I had very thin sides, and was thinning from the top - and that is now a thing of the past. I can pull my hair back without feeling nervous.. I hope this helps you, I write on very few products...but I can never go without saying something positive about this one.

If it's the oil it's probably a pump. I've used this product for 5+ years and it's always been a pump. I bought the Marrakesh leave-in conditioner and it was more like a spray.

Just use the conditioner. The conditioner has the same oils in it along with other waxes to lengthen the protection.

Fix means helping correct something not working normal (not shifting smoothly/slipping)Conditioner is to prevent problems (leaking seals, shifting rough)My opinion

Melissa sorry it has taken me awhile to respond to your question but I have been away from a computer from a while. about the oil, I didn't like the oil. it was very heavy and messy on my hair and I stopped after two uses. I prefer the liquid gold hair growth crème that is much better and results are from after a few weeks use.

I mix mine with olive oil and coconut oil, everything in thirds. I also put some in my water bottle for a refresher for my hair. During the winter I also add some conditioner to the water bottle for added moisture. Just remember to shake it up right before spraying because the water oil will not mix.

It works as a conditioner for the scalp or add moisture to the hair if it's dryA dot of each together would not hurt but add more protect (same oil)

I don't have any static problems, but I do use the conditioner and also leave in. Maybe because both hydrates the hair it could help with static issues.

If you are not using a conditioner this could be the problem. I use WEN hair products.

i think its just for adding some moisture to the air using water, i am sure there are things made just for oil out there

Hello, for the first part of your question, you can use another conditioner or replace your other conditioner with this one. I use this as my conditioner. It makes your hair really soft and is an excellent detangler. I use the Avalon moisturizing shampoo when I have it. If not then I use Cream of Nature conditioning shampoo, or even Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo...anything that provides moisture back to my hair because my hair is dry. I love this product...and it smells good.

The conditioner is for very dry wood. I have both products because most of my furniture is antique thus very old. I condition it once a month and use oil for giving it back the luster every week. Great products. Their scratch cover is also excellent.
