The 10 Lightest Oils to Avoid Product Buildup

Low porosity hair may require a different regimen than other hair types. Since low porosity hair has a tightly bound cuticle, it can be a challenge to find products to input and retain moisture. Lightweight oils are a great addition to the regimen and are easy to find. Including lightweight oils to your moisturizing routine (try the LOC method) can help keep your hair soft and moisturized. Check out these oils that can be added to your regimen.
