How to apply Coconut Oil to your hair?

Summer

So I've heard coconut oil is really beneficial to your hair.. But how do I put it on? Like, before or after shower? Wet or dry? All of your hair? How much? THANKS in advance.

Answer
they say it does work, put coconut oil in and the next day rinse it out and then put it on again and then the next day rinse it out. That's what this lady told me to do. She said Indians do that and there hair grow faster.

Apply directly onto scalp massaging from roots to ends, leave on for at least 30 minutes before washing. For best results, leave on for as long as you can and apply at least three times a week.

For Deep Penetration: Apply directly onto scalp massaging from roots to ends before bed, leave on overnight. Shampoo and rinse well.

Coloring your hair: Apply a couple drops in your dye bottle mixing it well to protect your hair from getting damaged from chemical used.


Step 1: Rinse hair with warm water.

Step 2: Squeeze excess water from hair with a towel.

Step 3: Wet a towel lightly and warm it in a dryer for 10 minutes or soak a towel in hot water and ring out excess water.

Step 4: Apply a quarter-size amount of coconut oil to damp hair. Massage the oil into your scalp and then distribute oil down to the tips. If you have long hair, use a bit more coconut oil. You can use a wide-toothed comb to distribute the oil through your hair.

Step 5: Take the warm towel and wrap it around your head, making sure to get all of your hair covered. Leave it on for two hours. This will assure that the oil penetrates your hair.You can also apply the coconut oil to your hair before bed, and cover your head with a plastic shower cap.

Step 6: Wash hair with gentle shampoo.

Is it okay to leave on coconut oil for 3 or more days without rinsing?
