My Experience with Grapeseed Oil

This Saturday my feelings of boredom and dissatisfaction combined with my longing of change and adventure lead me down a destructive path for my hair, my confidence, and my sense of self. It all started, as most of my Saturday mornings do; Googling home remedies or vitamins for faster hair growth. As I read about the miraculous effects of grapeseed oil, there was no way I could resist it. As I rubbed the warm oil on my scalp, adrenaline set in. I bravely decided to put more oil than called for in the recipe. I also decided to put the oil on my face after reading that putting oil on your face has anti-aging benefits. As I waited for 30 minutes as the oil set in, I looked at myself in the mirror and felt like a new woman. I may have been greasy but I felt like the person I’ve always wanted to be, a daredevil, a risk taker, a grapeseed oiler-upper. I felt invigorated.

 It wasn’t until my shower, until everything went downhill. I thought I had washed out the oil completely but my hair felt so greasy. I looked like the baby of Danny Zuko and a poodle. To stay away from this undesired look I decided to straighten it, thinking the heat would magically transform my greasy poodle hair into smooth, shiny, Kim Kardashian-like hair, but to no avail. I debuted my greasy look to my sisters and my sister Sarah told me, “You have to stop putting weird shit in your hair.” Which was the best hair advice I’d received all day.
