Coconut oil rocks!

I love using virgin coconut oil on my hair. I use the Nutiva brand. I have done it several different ways: sometimes I just put it on my wet or dry hair and leave it in overnight and then wash it with chandrika soap a couple of times and rinse with a lime/lemon juice and water rinse. Or I dampen my hair and put a small amount in and leave it overnight and then rinse my hair with water several times.

Both work wonders! But I think the 2nd method gives more conditioning and strength to my hair. Mostly I just use the water-only hair washing method and when I do this it really helps to remove dirt and old sebum from my hair. When the coconut oil finally rinses out - it takes a couple of water only washes - my hair is very shiny and clean! But not dry and brittle. Try it. It really works!
