You could but use VERY little oil..... I am part asian, caucasian and it makes my hair look oily... I use as a hot oil treatment, or gives a beautiful beach curly look.

I have relaxed hair and found this to be better for my scalp because there was no product build up/dandruff in my hair. The hair elixer causes a lot of dandruff because it's very heavy. I would stick with the tui oil because it's lighter and smells better. Plus it won't cause the dandruff build up which might be a pain to get out of dreads.

Good luck!

I use it as a hot oil treatment... Seems ok for that, due to my hair type it is too oily for me, but I loved the way it made my hair feel so I kept it and use it as that. It should be ok to use a couple of times a week, (that is how I plan on doing it since I just recently purchased the product)

I'm not sure about everyone else but, it made my hair grow. I'm African-American with a relaxed hair. I usually get my hair relaxed every 6 or 7 weeks. I had to wait beyond that and would oil my scalp. My new growth was definitley more soft than before and more manageable. My hair is to my chin in the front and slightly longer in the back. I had been using this for about 2 months and had at least an inch or more growth. This was before I relaxed. When I finally did get it relaxed I couldn't believe how much longer it was after it was straightened. This is my favorite oil.

This can give that shine but you won't get it's full potential unless you add it to your hair after blow drying and before ironing. If you iron like I suggest you may want to do it at night to make sure any greasy effects won't occur. When I used it to flat iron my hair it turned out really shiny (a little much for my taste but presentable) and I did not use a lot. I gave it a good eight hours and the next morning it looked natural, beautiful and it was not as extreme as before . I have relaxed hair and it this has also protected me from the notorious humidity. ;}
