Coconut Oil is Great for Curls

(Anonymous)

About every 2 months, my dyed-blonde naturally curly long hair starts getting really frizzy. When I notice this happening, I'll spend 5 minutes right before bed, rubbing coconut oil into my hair. I put it on dry and rub it through until all my hair is coated. I then leave it on overnight, and rinse it out in the morning (no shampoo). I then let it dry naturally. Voila! The frizz is gone, and my natural curls look glossy and extra curly. The first day the curls are fairly heavy, but the next day (after another rinse) they are perfect. No gel required for about a week, and then I start using gel again (until the next coconut oil treatment).

Reply: Thanks for sharing your experience with using coconut oil for curly hair. This was a thorough and detailed explanation that may help others who have curly hair that needs some natural deep conditioning. I think everyone's hair chemistry is particular to their diet and body; that being said, I think each person needs to experiment to determine the optimal amount of coconut oil to apply to their hair, as well as how long to leave it in and when to rinse out. Thanks again for sharing your story!
