My Indian friend does this and has awesome hair. I was thinking about doing it. Anybody have experience with it? If so, how do you use it/what do you do? And how much does it cost? Did it help make your hair silky? Or just smell?

I don't know about coconut, but I know a lot of girls that use jojoba oil and swear by it.




Where can you get coconut oil?
i use it a lot, usually once a week as a treatment. i just rub a whole bunch of it through my hair, tie it up and go to bed, then wash it out in the morning. leaves my hair feeling and smelling delightful.
i just use SPF free coconut tanning oil. it's like $4 for a bottle from the supermarket and it lasts forever.





I use avacado oil, it has natural vitamin e.

I use some kind of Hawaiian oil that you can get at the Body Shop. I think it is mostly coconut and some others, and it smells like gardenia. I can't remember the name right now but it's amazing - it's like it tells your flyaways, frizz or split ends to fuck off.





^Please be more specific on where I can get some of that shit.![]()




I use coconut oil; jojoba oil; cameillia oil; and grapseed oil. NOT all at one time. I use virgin cold-pressed coconut oil I got at a health food store. A very small bottle will last you a long time. Keep it in the fridge!
I put it on the night I wash my hair (every other day or so..maybe a bit longer) and let it soak in for a while before I wash it out. It keeps my hair and esp. my ends in shiny, good condition, and I think it helps repair the damage I do coloring my hair also.
Try it! It's also very good on the skin, and helps with burns.

I do!
I use it at night to help condition my hair, but also during the day. I put just a small amount on my hands, and rub them together, then lightly glide my hands over the hair, so only a little goes on. It make smy hair look super shiny, and tames frizz.





You can get a nice sized tub of coconut oil at a drug store and probably in the health food section of grocery stores. Make sure it's raw, unprocessed, organic, unscented.... A nice big tub costs me $14.99 at Rite Aid. It'll last for quite a while.
I use it in my hair like Darcy said; I'll use a handfull or two and completely saturate my hair with it and leave it like that for hours and/or overnight, then wash it out. I don't even need to condition afterwards because even after shampooing my hair is smooth and stays unknotted. It keeps the frizz out of my hair when it airdries also.










^OOOOooo... it's from Tahiti! I'll have to check and see if we have The Body Shop here and get me some of that. Thanks, Alexxa!
Of course! Anytime.![]()

I looked in the drug stores but didn't see anything that looked quite right. My friend, an amateur hair dresser, suggested I go to the African store in the mall and get some of their stuff, so I did. It's a small bottle of a mix of oils for $7. Going to try it tonight.



YES! I LOVE coconut oil! A west indian friend of mine saw my hair when it was dry/damaged and breaking. She suggested that I buy some coconut milk asap. She had me soak my hair in it and baggie it overnight. I did it, then rinsed it out the next night and applied cold pressed organic coconut oil to my still damp hair, blew it straight and applied a bit more oil. I apply the oil every day and wash my hair once per week. But I co-wash my hair. (using conditioner in place of shampoo) with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration, which has coconut in it. It's done wonders. My hair is strong, moist and it's gotten thicker. I also moisturize my face with unrefined, cold pressed organic coconut oil. It's the bomb!![]()

Wouldn't it make you stink like coconut?





Coconut oil? Nope. Even if you open up a tub of real coconut oil and stick your face in, the smell is very underwhelming. Even when your hair is soaking in it, you won't smell it at all unless you pull a chunk of soaking hair up to your face and sniff lol. So once you wash it out there's no trace of the smell at all.





^^^ Most people put it in curry, I think.
I hate coconut and everything coconut - can't stand the smell, the taste, anything. That's interesting that the smell doesn't linger. I was thinking all of you were going to have to change your stage names to Pina Colada.![]()
