What Are The Most Penetrating Oils For Hair? NOT COCONUT PLEASE!?

I have been using coconut oil for quite some time, and while it works very good in saturating the length of my hair, it leaves my scalp wanting. I have only tried a few different oils, but there are a ton on the market that claims to do wonders. I have no idea which are the true miracle workers and which are just empty promises. Can anyone give me a list of natural oils that truly penetrate the hair shaft and scalp?

    Try avocado oil. What makes avocado oil so special is its unique ability to penetrate the hair shaft. To date, only 3 triglycerides have been scientifically proven to penetrate the hair shaft- and avocado oil is one such triglyceride. While many commercial hair products use cheap fillers like vegetable oil, mineral oil, water and silicone; these ingredients do nothing more than create a coating that sits on top of the hair, which leads to damage and breakage. Avocado oil, however, does just the opposite.
