I've been reading alot about the benefits of coconut oils (for cooking, applying to your skin and hair, etc.). I have been looking at several websites that explain everything about the oils and different types, which is the best, etc., however there are so many brands with huge price differences. Can anyone recommend a brand that you find works well and lives up to its promise? If you use it, what benefits do you think it has from personal experience? I know it is good for the skin outside, but supposedly it's good for many, many things, internally and externally. Thank you everyone!!
Also, which is better...virgin or extra virgin coconut oil?
thank you so far for the links, most of those i have read. I appreciate your help so far, but I am interested in hearing from people who are using it and what benefits they see and feel from it.
Answer
Virgin Coconut OIl or VCNO is all you need if it's a good brand.
It's incredible stuff. It definitely gives me more energy and in cooking it gives foods a great taste. Also if you fry with it it doesn't taste greasy.
Since frying can use a bit of it I use the Organic Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil. It doesn't smell quite as good but works fine for frying and is cheaper.
You have not lived until you've tried onion rings made with it. Not greasy at all and incredible!
It works great in baking except being a little soft for some recipes (especially in summer ) because it melts at like 74 degrees. If that's an issue just use 1/2 vcno and 1/2 butter.
The only thing I haven't cared for with it is scrambled eggs. It gives them a bit of a soapy taste but it's great in hot cereal, makes an soup creamier and better tasting and gives me energy
These are the guys I use. They are the experts and the original importer of it. They also use family farms (in Phillipines) and have been a pleasure to deal with.
They also have good sales.

Is coconut oil really good for your hair?
AnswerMe
Like for example i want to buy palmers coconut shampoo.... and i heard that it makes your hair grow FASTER not that it makes your hair grow longer...lol. But anyways does coconut really help your hair feel stronger and smoother?
Answer
If your hair is growing then it's getting longer. Your hair is always growing from the scalp anyway - 6 inches per year. Nothing makes your hair grow faster. Coconut oil gives your hair a little bit of moisture, adds shine, and makes it soft.
If you want the full benefits of the coconut oil, you'll have to buy the coconut oil by itself. You can find it at a health foods store or at a vitamin shop or a place like Walmart in the pharmacy aisle. You can also consume the real oil and cook with it. It's quite healthy internally and externally. It's great for your skin, too. So it real olive oil. Olive oil makes your hair stronger. You can do hot oil treatments with these and many other natural oils.
The thing with commercial products is that they advertise these natural oils but only contain a small amount of the actual oil. You're probably better off buying the real oil by yourself and adding it to your hair products in a larger quantity.
