This month on Curly Q&A we’re lucky to have a special guest answering your curly questions, Imani Dawson of Tribe Called Curl! Imani has been thoughtfully answering questions from our curly community, like this one from member LoveableAngel.
Question:
“Is baby oil good for your hair?”
Answer:
Baby oil is essentially mineral oil with fragrance. And while I’m personally not a fan of it in my hair, there are a number of curly, coily and kinky girls who swear by products containing mineral oil. Here’s a Naturally Curly article extolling the virtues of mineral oil. My advice would be to experiment with a little as seal once you’ve moisturized your hair, and see how your curls respond. Be sure and wash with a clarifying shampoo afterwards.
