I started using coconut oil on my relaxed African American hair about 18 months ago. I use it sparingly 2-3 times a week as a hair pomade and at least twice a month as a hot oil treatment. My hair has been transformed and is now silky, shiny, thicker and healthy. I used to have heavy shedding, split ends and breakage, but that is no longer the case. Because my hair is now so soft and silky, I can go longer between relaxers and it has grown from shoulder length to just above my bra line. Best of all -- the dryness and brittleness is a thing of the past.
I get compliments on my hair all the time and my hair stylist now raves to her clients about the benefits of using coconut oil. Thanks so much for all the helpful information on your website. I now have a beautiful, healthy head of hair and I have your website to thank for it!
