Coconut oil - thanks for the recommendation, amazing stuff!

Whoever recommended coconut oil as an intensive conditioning treatment, thank you!

I melted 3 teaspoons and massaged it into my hair from root to ends (hair was damp but unwashed). I rubbed it into my scalp too and put extra on the ends. I put my hair in a top knot & kept it in all day & over night (looked gross but wasn't going anywhere).

Washed with 2 shampoos this morning (washed vigorously!) and normal conditioner and my hair is so shiny! Haven't had to style it, just blow dried, yet it looks & feels so much nicer than normal.

May have to make this a regular thing!

Thanks for the recommendation

Ooh, I may do that. My hair is shiny but fragile. The overnight thing wouldn't bother me - ive done it before with other hair treatments. Thanks!

Oooo I'm going to try that!

My hair is dry and a bit damaged from all the abuse I give it but I get greasy roots. Would this work for me or would it give me a chip pan head? heard about this before being fab.

Your hair sounds a bit like mine MummyB. I think as long as you wash it out thoroughly (I shampoo'd twice and gave it a really good lather), it will be fine.

Mine feels great today and actually looks less "limp" than normal.

I mix it with old fashioned Nivea and use it as a night time moisturiser.

Oo! I might try that!

I have also been using it on my feet after exfoliating and soaking, then putting bamboo socks on. Good results there too.

Ive tried to love coconut oil so much but it dries my hair and face/body out so much. I have no idea why!

Coconut turned my hair into a dry and frazzled mess. It then did the same to my skin.

Hate the stuff.

I love coconut oil for skin, hair and cooking! What brands do you use?
