Hey, I recently cut my hair and I’m trying to find the best oils and routines to grow out my hair. I’m sure it’s 4c because it looks coily and it’s only soft when it’s wet. It also holds water in really well but gets dry frequently. I’m tired of not knowing how to do my hair or how to grow it!

I've never been the branded hair oil girl. Always stick to homemade mix of cold pressed (food grade) coconut oil, food grade EVOO and regular castor oil. And so far, this mixture has been performing alright as far as my low expectations go. But of late, I've been experiencing the urge to have the really flawless and bouncy hair that look healthy on the first look. Ofcourse goals include frizz protection, shiny look, increasing volume and thickness, and increasing hair growth. So far I've achieved some part of these goals with some good hair products like Loreal Professional Liss Unlimited Shampoo, OGX coconut milk conditioner, Garnier Banana Hair Mask, TO hair peptide serum, Minimalist 18% hair growth active serum (yes I use both, I'm extra or just desperate) and post wash Loreal wheat oil hair serum (which has been discontinued it seems). But i feel like the next step in the game is finding the right hair oil. That's where I'm looking for recommendations.

My hair type is straight-wavy. I think it's 2A-2B? Scalp gets dirty every 5-6 days in warm/humid climate. I wash every 4-5 days. Products i use are mentioned above.

I've heard good things about Hibiscus Monkey, Juicy Chemistry oils and even Kama for that matter. But really have no point of reference and I'm diving into this blindly.

Also, i would really appreciate any hair care/maintenance tips or products, any techniques with oiling or any insider secrets on improvement of hair care regime.

Thanks in advance!
