First try on 14/09/10 - Soft hair but dull.....

First time I've tried coconut oil, but as I have dry, frizzy and coarse curls and am 40-something I thought I'd give it a go. I hennaed my hair around three weeks ago - it was lovely for a week, but then that wonderful shine and softness succumbed to my hair's natural tendency to frizz.

Tried the coconut oil by applying to washed, towel dried hair. left it on for 20 minutes (I was tight for time). I used Fushi Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. It took me three washes to get most of it out. Blow dried my hair and it's wonderfully soft. Only slight disappointment is that it left a certain dullness, but I think - even though I was trying to be frugal with the oil - I probably added too much. This should come out next I wash, I suspect. I didn't use any other conditioner or styling product, and my hair feels lovely. The curls are better defined too. All in all, I'm pleased.
