Putting Coconut oil on my ends

[yokoyokogirl]

I put coconut oil on my ends last time I washed and my hair is amazing! (Why wasn't I doing this sooner??) But should I do it more frequently? Like everyday or every couple of days? How often and when do you put oil on your ends?

 

[mj11051]

As you need it and that could be everyday.

 

[LaidBak]

Only as often as your hair needs it. When it stops shining and starts feeling dry then reapply.

 

[kjeneen]

Did it mend your ends or just soften them? What was the condition of your ends before you oiled them?

 

[Allandra]

I love coconut oil. It's ok to use it daily.

 

[Whimsy]

Use it as much as your hair needs. I use it a few times a week.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

I use Vatika which is primarily made with Coconut oil and I use it every other day on my ends. My hair is in love!

 

[ChasingBliss]

Pretty much every day for me.

Hey Ladies - for daily use/end maintenance are you only applying coconut oil to your ends or are you applying the coconut oil after applying something else?

I do use QB Burdock Root cream first, then the Vatika

Coconut oil is cool, just do not use it in the winter because it will freeze your hair and cause it to break.

That has never happened to me and I've been using coconut oil year round for about 2 years.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I experience my hair getting stiff with coconut oil in the winter.

I have replaced it with JBCO and get better results.

Nope...no breakage at all.

Do you put it on your ends when wet?

 

[wannabelong]

I apply it just about everyday on my ends and my daughter's ends.

Yes, is that the problem. I'm applying on wet hair?

Nope, my hair does get hard, but goes back to normal almost immediately after I come indoors. I don't touch it when it's hard.

When my hair is out I do it nightly. Sometimes in the morning too.

really???...I mean I love how light it is and how natural it is but since I'm in alaska when I have it in my hair (i've been using it for like a week now) it hasn't seemed to be some miracle improvement just more of a light oil on it, but it took me using a bunch to realize a little goes a long way. My burgundy sheets soaked up A LOT of it when I went to sleep that night, won't do that again. Almost messed up my pillow top mattress. So how has coconut oil worked for those others who live in cold and/or dry areas? It's so dry here. I've been having a hard time getting info for people who have experienced such drastic weather like here. Thanks!

 

[ajoyfuljoy]

I do once a week, for a day (before I shampoo and style).

 

[seashell]

I love coconut oil!
I use it, or vatika oil, just about every other day.

I have been using vatika frosting and evco all winter. I usually use less than a pea size amount after moistuizing usually at night before bed. I have not experinced any hardness.

The coconut oil made my hair stiff during the below freezing weather because the oil solidifies when cold. I didn't get major breakage but the stiffness made it vulnerable. I probably used too much though. Who knows..but it hasn't messed up my ends. Everyone's hair is different..

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Yes, is that the problem. I'm applying on wet hair?

Now, that maybe the problem. Use it on dry hair only and see if you have this problem still. I only use on dry hair and my hair soaks it up, never gets hard or break...at all!

 

[CHECKMATE!]

Everyday is fine...I use it daily

 

[gradygirl]

I use it pretty much everyday.

 

[Fine 4s]

I apply shea butter, pritz and then seal with coconut oil.
Sometimes at night as a baggy or in the AM....

 

[Misshairdiva]

I apply it every day and my dry hair in this cold weather soaks it right up! My hair has never been softer!!

Will do!
