Answer
Coconut oil is pretty good for damaged hair, it makes it more soft and silky.
For a great hair treatment/conditioner try 1 egg yoke, 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil, and 2-3 drops Vitamin E. Combine these, wet hair, mix combination into hair. Let set for 3-5 minutes, feels/looks/smell strange but it works so well. Wash out with shampoo.
Comb olive oil through the dry parts of your hair, and towel dry. Put a towel on your pillow, and leave the oil on overnight. Shampoo it out in the morning. This worked well when I had no money for good conditioner. Olive oil is actually great for everything--skin, hair, nails--be careful with extra virgin, though, because it smells weird.
Wash your hair with chamomile, rosemary, sage, or yucca tea to restore shine and vigor.
For soft hair use olive oil, it in crease shine too. All you have to do is 5 min before you shower pour a small amount olive oil in your hand and work threw hair, roots to tips.When you shower all you have to do is shampoo, and the oil is gone and your hair is left soft and shiny. (Sunflower or vegetable oil works also).
Tips:
-Dont wash your hair every day, wash it every other day! When you wash it every day you are washing out all of the good oils that make your hair soft.
-Use a deep conditioner, and if you blow dry your hair or straighten, make sure you are using a heat protectant.
-Comb your hair everyday.
-If you want some gel to put on your hair (if it is frizzy), you can try the hair serrum from Boots.
-Don't use hot water, only cold water for washing hair.
-Don't change shampoos often. Stick to one, stay away from garnier shampoos as they have so much chemicals, which can cause more damage to your hair.
I hope this works out for you! Have beautiful hair! :)

coconut oil hair treatment?
Ex Memoria
I want to try doing a coconut oil treatment for my hair. My hair's rather thick and frizzy, has a couple natural waves in it, and reaches down to almost my waist.
How much coconut oil should I use?
Do I work it equally into the roots and ends, or should I concentrate it mostly on one area?
What's the optimal time for keeping it on my hair if it's the first time-- 3-4 hours or overnight?
Roughly how long will it last till I have to do it again [if I choose to]?
Thanks
Answer
You can use it on your roots, so long as you don't get oily hair. The coconut oil is good for your scalp.
Try to focus more on the ends.
With coconut oil, a little goes a long way so try not to use too much. Whether you are melting that stuff with your hands or in the microwave, you just want your hair coated with oil (not dripping with it). Coconut oil is great stuff. If you find that it's too heavy, then next time I suggest using an extra virgin olive oil, or a grapeseed oil.
You can leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour. However I lose track of time easily, so I've left it on for 3-4 hours before. You could do overnight if you want, but you don't need to leave it in that long.
