Beautyindia: Will it be good using 3-4 oils at a time, will it be going to work and is it then how long will have to use this.
deepa: is all these harmless and where to get from
mini: Where can we buy these oils?
Kazzi: My hair has thinned out significantly. It's long, but very thin. I use to have thicker hair a few years ago. I'm extremely busy so it's hard to keep up with something every night. The above mixtures seem fantastic, but is there anything I can do to put into my shampoo instead and still get the same results for thicker, new growth hair? Also, once I do the oils, do I stop using my normal conditioner that I usually use? Thanks in advance!=)
