Coconut oil for curly hair?

Amara

I have 3b curly hair. I want to try wetting my hair, and applying coconut oil when I get out of bed. What are your experiences with coconut oil? What will it do to my dry, frizzy, boring looking hair? Also, i've heard rumors that coconut oil helps hair growth. Is this true? Thanks! :)

Answer
I think using coconut oil on your 3b type hair will dwfinitely benefit it, since curly haor is usually so dry. However, I'm not sure if a daily application is necessary...maybe just on your wash days? It gives great shine, seals in moisture, and smells heavenly, nut is a little thick for days when you're not shampooing first. That's just what I thonk, it could work great for you as a daily oil.

I have type 4(a/b/c mix) curly hair, do I definiteky know what you mean about drynessvand frizziness. I have been using extra virgin coconut oil for almost 3 years now and I love it. I personally, use it as a pre-shampoo treatment once a week, the night before I shampoo. I put a plastic cap over it amd then then next morning, I just wash my hair as I normally would. It adds some shine and softness to my hair and helps prevent my haor from sucking in excessive amounts of water or shampoo. I don't kniw if it's because of the coconut oil itself, or because I have generally just been taking better care of my hair period, but coconut oil is one of those "hair care products" that I just can't(won't) ever stop using.

As for making your hair grow? It doesn't. The rate at which your haor grows is determined by your DNA. However, priper hair care, with or without coconut oil, will result in a lot less breakage.

Answer
yes. Coconut oil is really great for your hair because it makes it healthy and super shiny.

Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny 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

is coconut oil good for your hair?

i have pretty damaged hair from dyeing it so much and wanted to try some home remedies. Ppparently coconut oil is good?

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! :)
