A study into Brazillian Oils and Butters found that Brazil Nut Oil and Mineral Oil help to prevent split ends so I decided to experiment with these two oils. I tried Brazil Nut Oil in a leave in conditioner and I found that the product had less slip than my usual leave in conditioner. I recently made a leave in conditioner with Mineral Oil and I absolutely loved it. The Mineral Oil made the leave in conditioner super moisturising without reducing the slip.
According to the Cosmetic Ingredients database, Mineral Oil is one of the few oils that have Anti-static (detangling) properties. I previously avoided Mineral Oil because it doesn't penetrate the hair, however, I now realise that Mineral Oil's lack of penetration is the reason why it's so great at detangling.
