Battle of the Hair Oils

Hair oils have been big for the last 6 months or so and although my hair is generally oily, I decided to venture out and explore the wonder world of hair oils. I started off with the VO5 Miracle Concentrate and fell in love from the first moment I used it.
VO5 Miracle Concentrate
I was really nervous about using this at first but as soon as I ran 2 drops of this oil throughout the ends of my hair, I fell in love. I usually use this after blow-drying to tame frizz, leave my hair feeling smooth and looking silky and finally to add shine. You really don't need a lot of this product and it can easily last you a year or two. The only reason that mine is a bit dead is because I accidently knocked it off of my dressing table a week after I bought it whilst the lid was off - I was gutted. But this hair oil is definitely my favourite and one that I will probably be repurchasing for the rest of my life.
TRESemme Argan Oil Glossing Spray*
Although this is branded as a glossing spray, it is pretty much another hair oil but in spray form. I don't use it as a spray and instead, I spray a little bit into my hair and run through the ends of my hair whenever I'm using it after styling. I usually use this whenever I'm going on a night out as the gloss is wonderful. It leaves hair really shiny but not greasy looking and it doesn't weigh the hair down. It's also great for taming flyaways and frizz and whenever my hair is static, I spray a little bit of this onto a brush and brush through my hair.
Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil
This is the most recent addition to my collection and I did a review of this and the shampoo earlier this week. This is the oil that I use before blow-drying my hair as if I use it after styling, it tends to weigh the hair down and make it look too shiny for my hair. But if you have dry hair, I don't think this would be a problem. It reduces drying time, tames frizz, protects against heat damage and UV styling and leaves a lovely glossy finish to the hair.
What's your verdict on hair oils? Which ones are your favourite?
