No were in this article does it say what carrier oils to use. Just says to add them in the bottle. So what carrier oils? What are carrier oils?
Hi! Carrier oils are oil like coconut oil, our V-6 vegetable oil complex, almond oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and even olive oil. The type of oil you use is based on preference, any allergies a person may have, and availability. For a hair recipe, you’d probably want to use a sweeter or less scented oil like coconut or almond.
