Sealing oils for 2B/2C high porosity super long hair

What are your favourite oils?
Personally my favourite for preshampoo is avacado oil.
Coconut oil and olive oil are okay. But for some reason my hair prefers avocado oil the most.
I’m trying to figure out which sealing oil would be best for me. So I was hoping to ask which ones are your favourites and why?
I have Argan Oil and personally I think it’s too light for my hair. I have high porosity hair and my hair tends to be very dry and frizzy and Argan Oil just doesn’t cut it. (Love Argan Oil for my skin though.)
Today I purchased jojoba oil and sweet almond oil. Looking forward to trying them both.
I also hear a lot about grape seed oil so I’m curious about that.
A friend who has very similar hair to mine,in both curl pattern and porosity, uses a mix of coconut oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil. But I’m personally not a huge fan of coconut oil in my hair.
So, what are your favourite sealing oils/ “leave in” type oils for combatting frizz and dryness, and why? 🙂
My hair is somewhere between 2B and 2C. It’s a frizzy dry mess by day 2 lol, I’m new to this journey. And it’s also extremely long (down to my butt.) thanks for your input,

I have super porous hair and I like JBCO and avacado oil for sealing. I use a 50-50 mix in the Winter and in the Summer a 75 (avacado)/ 25 mix.0
