Conditioner vs. Hair Oil: Which is Better for Damaged Hair?
Ask a Question
I’ve always had split ends which is annoying! I do use conditioner but get lazy as my back aches leaning over bath tub 
lol but have recently started using hair oil by Herbal Essences can be applied on damp or dry hair!
Yes hair does become soft and smooth but then it goes back to feeling dry like lol 
Anyone else the same?
that's the one I'm just at the moment 
scent 
been using the sample for 2 weeks the bottle is 150ml normally I'm definitely gonna get a bigger bottle when I've finished this smells lovely and I have noticed a difference in my hair as I dye my hair alot so its dry 
I often rub a little nivea/aqueous cream through my hair after putting it on my face.Is that weird?
MelissaLee1 oh really? I think 
have heard that you can do it, seen an article online many years ago but forgot about it! Can you share a photo?
kitty88uk Strange this I've just read that aqueous cream is ok as a face wash but not as an emollient or stay on skin creme .It can in fact cause irritation if left on too long.I've had a rather red face these last few days so am washing with rose water and using nivea instead but my hair is in good nick and I often rub face creams in it!I also periodically give myself a good head massage with coconut or rosemary oils.My head/hair is greasy for a day or two but it sups it in. I never use tongs or any other hair gadgets though.
MelissaLee1 do you have eczema? Or just sensitive skin my daughter uses dermol 500 cream
Leannexxx Never before but weird stuff going on these last.My mum has psiorisis so maybe has some of that.Ok on the face?My face is burning and red as a monkey's bum.
MelissaLee1 yeah she uses it all over have done since she was 2 years old it was the doctor who gave it to her it
MelissaLee1 Probably, but we won't tell lol. Try a little coconut oil, even the solid stuff can be used for hair, or the two I have suggested on other comment.
MelissaLee1 is that so, oh do he careful! Hope your skin goes back to normal and not red anymore!! I don’t use hair straighteners as my hair dye a naturally straight or wavy
I don't think anything will bring about a permanent change to your natural hair. I have frizzy, coarse, thick hair and apply argan or coconut oil from Amazon, whichever is on offer. (I use the liquid coconut oil).
conditioner or oil that’s on half price sales from Superdrug yeah can’t do anything to stop split ends oh well I gave up years ago lol 
Try a hair mask rather than conditioner, tge Garnia banana mask for damaged hair is really good & smells divine. I use HASK argon hair oil, get it from boots for a few quid.
If you use any heat on your hair try using a heat protection spray too, might help prevent further damage.
Glitterandgold yeah I use hair mask sometimes I have the Garnier one too but I stopped using it cause I’m trying out the herbal essences hair oil
I didn’t know about heat protection spray for hair. I will take a look next time I’m at Boots. Thanks for the info 
I haven't tried oil for my hair but use conditioner and when i have the time ileave it in as long as i can.
