Water and Oil as moisturiser and sealent only?

I came across a natural on youtube with beautiful hair, shiny long and sleek and healthy. Her name was Sistawithrealhair or something like that.

Anyway I found that she used only grapeseed oil and EVOO as moisturisers/sealents. She didn't like water based moisturisers, and I'm starting to think my hair doesn't either.

So do any naturals here simply use carrier oils and water only? What concoctions do you use? Do the oils moisturise your hair better than a water based moisturiser?

I do it

I need a moisturizer that is pH balanced for my hair, water penetrates and moisturizes. However the oil I use cannot be pH balanced (at least I don't think they are) so I need a moisturizer that will seal and flatten my strands back down to actually hold the moisture in well. I also wont use a heavy oil or butter on my hair every other day to seal either.

Sometimes I spritz my hair with water and then use a light oil. I mostly like to spritz with a lot of water, use a dab of a moisturizer (usually an ORS product). Sometimes I skip sealing with the oil. I go based on how my hair feels.
