Sometimes found dark green in color, the darker Grapeseed oils have more significant amounts of antioxidant polyphenols. Grapeseed has a particularly light feel, and may be the best choice if one has an oily scalp, though is wanting the many benefits of essential oil application. Grapeseed and Jojoba were used as the base for a study which treated alopecia areata with essential oils. These oils may be used 50/50 for this purpose.<br /><br />Hemp - Like Evening Primrose, Hemp offers significant quantities of essential fats, may improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Hemp is a highly regarded oil for its many nutritive constituents, and is considered the most palatable of the high Omega-3 plant oils. Some experts note that ingestion of essential fats can be very significant for hair growth, and Hemp is the most easily ingested of the plant sources (generally Evening Primrose and Borage oils are found too bitter, and are taken in capsules, rather than 'straight' or in a salad dressing, etc.)<br /><br />Jojoba - Found in many natural hair care products, Jojoba is used for softening and moisturizing dry hair. It is thought to cleanse the follicles of sebum, and promote vibrant, shiny and soft hair.<br /><br />Rosehip Seed - Considered one of the most therapeutic carrier oils for skin and hair. Rosehip has been the subject of many studies involving the reduction of sun damage and wrinkles for the skin. While not yet proven in the laboratory, Rosehip seed oil's therapeutic effects should benefit those needing its regenerative properties for their scalp and hair. While it can be used at 100% strength, Rosehip is most often blended with other carriers at 10-30% of the base formula.<br /><br />Sesame - Also highly regarded in Ayurveda, Sesame contains lignans that greatly enhance the efficacy of Vitamin E. Sesame is thought to encourage the growth of dark lustrous hair.<br /><br />Now, QUIT Bashing KC!

In the case of sunflower oil, although it is a triglyceride of linoleic acid, because of its bulky structure due to the presence of double bonds, it does not penetrate the fiber, consequently resulting in no favorable impact on protein loss.<br /><br />The main purpose of oiling the hair is to help it retain moisture,<br /><br />Studies have proven that ...<br /><br />Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Olive oil penetrate the hair shaft to make it stronger (J. Cosmet.Sci 52, 169-184, 2001)The study showed straight chain glyceride's like coconut oil , avocado oil, olive oil easily penetrate into the hair.<br /><br />Polyunsaturated oils , like Jojoba oil, are more open in their structure so they don’t pass through the layers of cuticles very well.<br /><br />Meadow foam seed oil partially penetrates, and jojoba and sunflower oils don’t penetrate at all.Most other oils, including safflower oil and sunflower oil, do not penetrate hair very well.<br /><br />Carrier oils are just as important as the essential oils for getting the best results for stimulating hair growth. The carriers provide important essential fatty acids to the scalp and follicles. They offer necessary nutrients, and have therapeutic actions themselves. All these oils may be used for 100% of the base, though it may be most beneficial to blend two or more that suit your specific needs.<br /><br />Coconut - A carrier oil used in Ayurvedic medicine for enhancing hair growth all by itself. Fractionated coconut (as we carry here at Ananda) is simply Coconut oil that has had the largest-chain molecules 'fractionated' from the smaller ones—this allows the oil to stay liquid at room temperature. Fractionated coconut has a nice light texture, appreciated in the warmer months. Virgin whole coconut can also be used in your formulas, and will remain liquid if blended with other carriers for your base. Highly nutritive, excellent for all types of scalp & hair. <br /><br />Evening Primrose - Many conditions of the skin are positively affected by essential fats, of which Evening Primrose is a wonderful source. Application and ingestion of this oil has been the subject of many scientific inquiries, with exceptional results for all kinds of dermatitis. Evening Primrose is noted to specifically address hair growth (or hair loss) where poor circulation might be an issue. Evening Primrose also may have a significant effect in reducing inflammation, which may in-turn be beneficial for reversing hair loss.<br /><br />See Part 3 BelowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-45653783743986310792009-10-13T13:52:36.356-07:002009-10-13T13:52:36.356-07:00Part-1

Have you ever heard the term: "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK", can't you see genuine kindeness in KC? Shame on you!<br /><br />Coconut, Olive, Meadowfoam seed and avocado are the only ones that penetrate into the hair shaft. However, jojoba oil does a great job of coating and moisturizing.<br /><br />Based on the reference you provided and in the light of other information, following factors affect the hair oil to penetrate the hair shaft.<br />(1)<br />The oil molecules must have smaller chain of carbons/smaller molecular chain such as that of lauric acid and other medium chain fatty acids which contains 8, 10, or 12 carbons atoms unlike the other vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc., which contains up to 20 atoms.<br />(2)<br />The molecular chains of the molecules must be straight for the molecules to be penetrated to the hair shafts easily. Cyclic and non-straight molecular structures often findings difficulties in penetrating the hair shaft such as <br />(3)<br />The molecules must have affinity for proteins and must not be unsaturated (having double and triple bonds).As low affinity to proteins and unsaturated (having double and triple bonds) makes the molecules difficult to penetrate the hair shaft.<br />The oils that you are using lack in one or more of these factors and so are unable to penetrate the hair shaft.<br /><br />Please see Part-2 of my comments below.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-74773487898003332062009-05-29T13:20:24.960-07:002009-05-29T13:20:24.960-07:00hey and thanks for the awesome tips you have been ...hey and thanks for the awesome tips you have been giving in this blog!

Is the marketing pressure and the negative press on silicones getting to you? SO you resort to following the masses and removing silicones from your products...though you still believe silicone is the way to go for certain styling techniques...????<br /><br />I find it very sad when people compare silicones to oil...yes some people refer to them as silicone oil and such...but they’re both completely different molecules !!!!...Silicone is NOT a lipid and WELL not function as such !... <br /><br /><br />It’s a film forming (and heat-protectant) that provides sheen to the hair giving it some amazing slip as well as acting as a detangler..... (some silicones are water-soluble (evaporate from the hair) and some are not – which can easily be removed with the first shampoo).<br /><br />It was not and never meant to be a hair penetrating conditioner! and does not act as such ! ..... It lays downs the “frizzies” while still allowing the hair to “breathe” !<br /><br />Yes, some silicones do cause build up but most if not all silicones are easily removed from the hair with the first shampoo....where as some heavy oils need multiple shampoos to remove it...... <br /><br /><br />Think of it this way.....for health = oils for style = silicones none of them can do the other function and its silly to even suggest that !<br /><br /><br />2 COMEPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS <br /><br />2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT uses.....TheOtherOnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-3415629833093082792009-05-20T12:51:07.665-07:002009-05-20T12:51:07.665-07:00Hi,
