How do you use coconut oil..?




bella


in your hair? I put a small amount in after blow-drying as a serum, but it left my hair feeling kind of heavy/borderline greasy. I hear it's supposed to be great for hair though...When and how is the best to use it in hair?


Answer
Coconut oil can be used as a pre-shampoo hair conditioner. Warm the bottle of coconut oil by placing it in a container of hot water and then take a few drops of this warm oil in your palm and massage it gently into your scalp. It smells nice and as mentioned earlier its small molecular structure allows for easy absorption into the scalp. You can leave it overnight. This oil-massage also ensures a peaceful slumber and is especially recommended if you have trouble falling asleep easily. Shampoo it off the next morning and it will leave your hair with a smooth texture. If you do not like to keep it the whole night, then apply it a few hours before washing your hair and cover your head with a shower cap to allow deeper penetration. But you can get better results only by leaving it overnight. This treatment with coconut oil is as good as an expensive hair treatment at the salon. Coconut oil application also helps with dandruff problems too and hence much preferable to other strong medicated shampoos. You can also prepare many herbal oils using coconut oils as the base. For instance, this Aloe-oil helps with split ends and this Amla (gooseberry) hair oil and hibiscus-based hair oil not only promote hair-growth and prevent premature graying but also help with insomnia.

Coconut Oil for hair?




heeeeey


hi! i currently cut my hair really short (which i now regret) and i was wondering if this really will stop dead ends and dry hair that will prevent my hair from growing faster.
also, if i did buy this; how often should i use it and for how long? i read that some people do it for 2 hours whilst others leave it over night?
should i also use it after i shower so my hair is damp, put it in then wash it again afterwards? or just use it with dry hair?
thanks for your help!!



Answer
i use coconut oil all the time! i actually have it in right now.
i use it every other day, now that school starts i probably will every day. you probably don't need to use it that often if you don't want to though, id say once a week is good.
I heat up the coconut oil in the microwave, and then put it in dry hair. I leave it in for about half an hour-an hour before i take a shower. (I have left it in for several hours before, and overnight, but the result feels the same so i think one hour is fine.)
Then i just wash it out. :) It makes hair feel very soft and healthy looking.
