I grew up in an Indian household, where coconut oil was used a lot. Unlike the rest of my family, I was a bit skeptic to use it. I started getting a slightly dry, itchy scalp and didn't like the harsh dandruff shampoo I was using, so I tried the coconut oil I had seen being used my entire life. It helped my scalp more than the other shampoos ever did. It also repaired damage from straightening and blow drying, and almost completely eliminated my frizzy hair. This is definitely something everyone must try.
