I’ve been researching, but still can’t get a simple answer. I’ve read a lot of good things about jojoba. Also for grapeseed oil, not so much about anything else. Almond oil works reallly good for my hair, jojoba works good for my skin as well as coconut, but the only problem is that i want one oil that can do it all.
While all the oils you mentioned are suitable for both hair and skin, I believe jojoba would be your best bet. Jojoba oil has been shown to be chemically similar to the oils found on your scalp and skin (called sebum), so it makes sense that jojoba oil would be the best choice. Having very long, fine, straight hair I find that I achieve the best results by using jojoba oil. It’s fairly light in comparison to coconut, but appears to leave my hair with a better texture than grapeseed or almond oil.
So, in the end, while all the oils you listed are good for your hair/skin, jojoba would probably be your best bet given it’s chemical makeup.
