Is Spectrum Naturals refined coconut oil good for damaged black woman hair? Its the one in the jar
Answer
Cocoanut oil liquefies and is molecularly tiny enough to actually penetrate the hair shaft. It is too oily to wear like all the time but is a great treatment ingredient and scalp treatment base.
I have baby fine white girl hair, naturally oily scalp but hair is damaged. I came up with something that has really helped the long term condition....might be worth a try for your hair. I make enough in a canning jar that the lid seals tightly....it lasts quite a while.
Find a jar or clean container....mix 1/2 cocoanut oil (I have to melt it for like 20 sec. in the microwave) and 1/2 leave in conditioner. Very important, use ONLY a LEAVE-IN conditioner. Leave-ins are formulated to be pH balanced not to burn your hair. Many regular rinse-out conditioners will burn your hair if you leave them in more than a few minutes.
Blend the 2 thoroughly.
When you want to use it (I do it 2x a week), just work it through your hair and massage into your scalp. Only enough so that when you comb through, it looks like damp, towel dried hair. Sleep with it in. Shampoo out in the AM with your regular shampoo. Depending on your scalp type and damage to your hair, use your regular rinse out conditioner if needed. Due to my oily scalp, I just use a leave in on the ends (not the oil and leave-in mix, just the leave-in).
I have really had good luck with this.....several friends are now using it.

Answer
Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shiny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.
