A member asked:
Should a person with oily skin use hair oil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessary: The oil from the sebaceous glands in the skin are located at the hair follicles, and the oil flows along the hair shaft and out the pores. Since your natural oil is already coating and protecting the hair, why add more, with an artificial oil?
