Anyone using pure coconut oil on thier hair? (2024)

I've used coconut oil for some time (over +yr) as a pre-treatment from Sheaterra Organics which is pretty pure and smells delicious but i have to admit my hair did not benefit nor did it hurt it from using coconut oil But it works great on my son who has extremely dry hair after I wash and condition his hair, I use it as a leave in

sorry I posted the same answer twice so I erased it

Thanks "J". Just ordered some. Will definitely keep these links in mind for future needs. I get the feeling I'll be a breezin' through this stuff.

I apply it to my hair after I cowash, I like the shine. It irritates my eyes and the first day I used it it was running down my face and staining my shirt like I had a Jherri Curl....not a good look.

I use it on my hair and on DD's hair. I did not know about the hair darkening thing, though.

I coconut oil...I only use it on my scalp once a week and it leaves my eczema ridden scalp hydrated (even after I cowash)

I love coconut oil. I use virgin, monoi and Vatika oils. I use it as a sealant after washing and in pre-poos.

My friend gets it for me from the Phillipines. I mix it with Giovanni's Direct Leave in!

I use pure coconut oil. You can buy at any health food store or a GNC. The one I use is organic and unrefined. Spectrum is a really good one.

I use the Parachute brand. I love the smell. Right now I'm mixing it in with my Ovation and Mega-Tek mix. I also add some black castor oil as well. Love everything about castor oil. I also use it as a pre-poo when I am wearing my hair natural. Righ now I'm in a full sew in.

no. I mix mine with other oils

I used it to seal my ends. I also just put some on my hair after I bun it up. So far so good, Im going to try and DC with it one day this month.

i use coconut oil from walmart that u find on the vitamin aisle...not the FOOD aisle...itz extra virgin unrefined coconut oil...my hair absolutely luvz it...i also used 2 use the nature'z way brand from the vitamin shoppe, but the walmart brand iz a tad bit cheaper...just make sure when u get urz, itz extra virgin, unrefined & u should b good...which meanz, that all the goodiez n it havent been chemically altered through processing...we need these nutrientz 4 r hair, thanku very much...lol...hth...

I use is as a pre poo with my Organix coconut conditioner.

I love coconut oil! I stock up on this everytime i go to the Philippines. My family there make their own coconut oil and use it as a pre-poo treatment and leave-in when they have dry hair.

I like coconut oil mixed with a little jasmine or gardenia oil. Smell like heaven on a spring day!

I mix it with olive oil and put it on my ends after I wash and condition my hair. I put a plastic cap over and sit under a dryer. After about 10 min I rinse with cold water.

Coconut oil is the bomb! I just hate when it gets hard, but that's taken care of easily, all I do is put the container in some hot water!
