    Thumbs up Coconut oil in hair

    So it took me forever to figure this out & it's harder than it looks ..........

    * Coconut oil needs to be close to boiling hot to properly penetrate the driest parts of hair (ends.) The easiest way to do this is wrapping your long hair in plastic shopping bags, soaking the hair in the hot oil & rubber banding it all shut. If you want to make the heating during conditioning phase go faster wrap the wrapped hair in Saran wrap on top of your scalp.

    * Running a hair dryer over your wrapped hair helps a lot too. It sounds like overkill but not if you have long hair.

    * I have hair to the middle of my back & it fully absorbs a whole 8 OZ of coconut oil.

    * To avoid scent clash I use White Rain coconut shampoo to remove the oil, it also foams up really well. (White Rain is cheap & available at Wal Mart, Dollar Tree or any given drugstore.)

    * Before you wash out the oil wring some out if the strands & do a scalp massage with it.

    * When rinsing scrub your neck & shoulders in the shower.

    (Side note- I quit using olive oil as it didn't work for my hair type. Also olive oil is better for you in your food....Mediterreanian diet.)

    I do acv rinse before shampooing it off. That helps. Plus, acv also conditions and make it shiney too.

    I feel olive oil is great for thin/fine straight hair girls. It gives it volume after.

    Coconut oil in the hair is really messy but long term it helps, especially if you live in a arid dry climate.

    Coconut oil is good for hair, as long as you don't put too much. Maybe put a quarter size amount. I was dumb before, took a handful and put it in my hair. It took 3 days to get the oiliness out and I have thick, long hair down to my ass.

    I've had far better results with bananas tbh. wait till they're really spotty and just rub them into your hair and scalp. feels amazing!

    Thanks girls! I haven't used an oil mask on my hair for about 2 months. I forgot how the hair looks after that!!
    Daamn!!!! I will take care to do this once a week from now!
    Today I heated and mixed olive oil, cocoa butter and argan oil and applied on my hair, put a shower cap after and sat like that for about 3 hours. I had oil mixture left so, when I hopped in the shower, I used it on my skin, for dry brushing.
    Nothing beats some home made treatments!
