Unusual care for the hair

At the hospital pharmacy, there is a literally huge number of skin care products, like aisles and aisles of them. There is a lot for hair as well, and I found this display interesting. Probably hard to read, but from left to right there is “Hams Of Natural Almonde Oil” (not sure who came up with a name like that!); sweet almond oil for the hair from Spain; something I can’t read but obviously for the hair; and “Kemo Cool Natural snake oil, Black sesame enriched hair oil” that “softens your hair.” Needless to say, I didn’t buy anything.

That's an interesting mix! I suppose for men and women, both?
I know oils help those who have coarse hair. I have a friend who treats her hair with coconut oil and she has the most beautiful head of pure white hair. I tried Argan oil on my hair and it ma de it too soft and flat. Thanks for showing us this interesting slice of Saudi life. V

Interesting. At first I thought these were oil for cooking or salad dressings.

Kemo Cool is an interesting choice for a name too. I would stay clear as well.
