Unfortunately, I feel as though mineral oil is counterproductive for my skin and leave-in products for my hair. I find it stifles my follicle pores and thus discourages growth and causes my hair to collect dirt. Therefore, my empirical evidence shows that it doesn’t work for me and I can’t be sold it.

My son is growing his short 4a hair out into a ‘fro for the second time in his young life. He tried this last summer (with me assisting) and I was using a mineral oil based “hair grease” that had his hair full of lint and dirt less than halfway through the day. This article has enlightened me as to why (since MO apparently attracts dirt). Now he only uses EVOO on his hair and the lint and dirt is now non-existent. He also had dry, flaky scalp problems with mineral oil based “grease” but not with the EVOO…

Thanks for the facts about mineral oil. Those facts definitely decimate several myths about it. I choose not to use mineral oil or products that contain it because it leaves my scalp itchy and greasy; and my hair greasy and dry.
