I'm african american. my hair is so dry. i don't think i produce enough sebum. is there a oil that i can leave on my scalp and hair to make it soft?

Go natural: How about coconut oil? That could be used naturally or you could use a hypollergenic conditioner. Good luck and see your doctor to check for other things like tinea capitis.
