Beautiful hair with coconut oil

I am from Puerto Rico and Cuba , so using coconut oil isn't anything foreign to me. After moving to the United States I started using commercial shampoos like Pantene, Aussie, Suave, etc. It made my hair thin, scalp dry, and coated my hair with an artificial shine. I forgot simply what mother knew best. I picked up some Parachute Pure Coconut Oil and Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. What I do is the night before I wash heat the oils together. Massage my scalp for 20 minutes and comb excess oils through ends and tips. I then steam a towel and sit under a dryer for 15 minutes and wrap hair and go to bed. Next morning I wash out and condition using coconut oil. I have beautiful Latin hair again. Don't worry, a lot of people think since it's oil it must be heavy. Actually coconut is very light and absorbs into the hair shaft and scalp easily! I also mix coconut oil in my shampoo and conditioner for extra moisture. Haven't returned to expensive Biolage and don't plan on it!
