As I mentioned in another coconut hair treatment post in the past, coconut oil is a great oil that actually moisturizes and penetrates to the hair cuticle. Not all oils penetrate down to the hair cuticle. They just sit and protect the outside.
Well, I bought the coconut oil a few weeks ago and I have been using it once a week since then. I went to a health food store and bought a big jar of it in the cooking aisle. I first went to the skincare aisle to look at the oils there and all I saw was this one brand that had one bottle of coconut oil. And their coconut oil was in this little clear 4oz. Bottle, which was like $8 to $10! Ha! No way! I knew that you can get the same coconut oil in a huge jar in the cooking aisle. So I went to the cooking aisle and sure enough there were about 4 to 5 different brands of huge bottles of coconut oil! I picked a big black plastic jar of coconut oil that was 16oz! And it was only $8! I knew it would last a long time too!
The brand of coconut oil I am using is Jarrow Formulas, it is also expeller pressed, which is suppose to better for you. The Jarrow Formulas coconut oil is in a hard form. I looked for the coconut oil that was already liquefied, but this one was the best deal for its’ money so I bought it! Melting the top of it has been super easy too! I just plug up my sink and feel it up halfway with hot water. Then I sit my jar of coconut oil in the water, which only comes halfway up the jar. I let the jar sit in the water for about 15 seconds and you can see the top of the coconut oil turn to liquid. I rub my fingertips all over the top and spread the coconut oil down the length of my dry hair. I rub enough of the coconut oil on it so that my hair looks wet then I swirl my hair up into a bun and wait an half an hour or more. I pop into the shower wash up and I have been using my deep conditioner after I shampoo too.
My hair has been so soft! I am liking it! I have not tried it with out any conditioner, but coconut oil is a excellent substitute for a deep conditioner! I just cannot believe that idea yet. It is going to take me awhile to try it. I guess when I run out of my deep conditioner I will just try the coconut oil and see how my hair feels then. It is so awesome! This coconut hair treatment is such a great deal for something that works!
