Coconut Oil, how do YOU use it?

[Closeout]

Due to all the rave about coconut oil, I picked myself a jar today on my lunch break. I just wanted to know, for those of you who love and use it, how do you incorperate it in your daily/weekly/monthly regimen?

I use it as a pre poo conditioner
I use it in my daily routine, just place some on my hair when it is out.
I use it even on my body after a shower or bath
I mix it with other oils when doing a scalp massage
I use it on freshly cowashed hair
Mix it with my powders (ayurvedic ones)

I L.O.V.E my coconut oil, I add it to my deep conditioners and use it to seal my ends...LOVE IT. Use it in my home made body butter too.

I use it as a moisturizer sealer after some conditioner all over esp on the length and ends. I also use it when braiding my hair up. great stuff, the best.

I massage my scalp with it, I also use it to seal moisture in my hair after I co-wash. I also coat my entire hair with it. Sometimes as a pre-poo.

coconut oil is great cheap, and it works.

Mostly as a sealant, sometimes I warm it up and add it to my deep conditioner. It makes my hair so shiny but not oily at all .

I created a Daily Hairdress for myself. There are alot of coconut oil based products. Grease, Moisturizers, Shampoos, Conditioners, Daily Treatments on the Market. So after reading that thread about Oils that Penetrate the Cortex, I decided to create a mixture of Coconut, EVOO, Avacado Oil, Wheat Germ Oil and Stirred it. I also added a couple drops of Peppermint EO, to give me that tingly feel on a sometimes problematic scalp. I was driving to work today and decided I am going to start creating my own Hair Grease (Hairdress) without all the other chemicals pre-processed stuff has in it. Needless to say, this is a keeper. And my hair is very, very, soft.,

I made myself a Daily Hairdress. Since there are alot of commerical hair products on the Market that contain Coconut Oil i.e. Conditioners, Shampoos, Oils, Creams. After reading the Thread: Oils that Penetrate the Cortex a couple days ago -- I mixed my Jar of Cold Pressed Coconut Oil, EVOO, Wheat Germ Oil, Avacado Oil and without all the extra added fill-ins and chemicals. I also added a couple drops of Peppermint EO for that extra added tingle (for my sometime problematic scalp) Created my own Hair Grease, My hair is extremely soft and very moisturized. This will be a keeper.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE coconut oil.

I use it as a pre poo, I use it as a body moisturizer, I use it in my conditioner for extra shiny, I use it in my relaxers to keep my hair from becoming too straight, I use it on my relaxed hair prior to a relaxer to protect it from overprocessing, I use it as a shiny serum, as a sealant, and sometimes just alone as a moisturizer because it does penetrate the hair shaft. It's amazing! It's a MUST have for me.

This is also how I use it.

I just started using coconut oil and I love it. I use it as moisturizer mostly. I've also use it when I'm doing my braid outs since my hair has been dry lately. I also like to use it on my skin as well. It smells really great too.

What brands are people using?

I got mine from mountain rose herbs in a tub it's white and looks like wax but as soon as you touch some it melts in your hands

 

[C@ssandr@]

Was it mentioned somewhere before that CO also has a little protein in it?

Spectrum Unrefined Organic-- straight out the grocery oil aisle
I'm using mine as a daily moisturizer/sealer. Just for kicks I put a few drops of pure vanilla extract in it to see what it would smell like. Can you say YUM!!

 

[thefineprint]

I use it as a sealant on my hair, mixed w/ lotion for my body and sometimes as a deep conditioner

 

[joytimes10]

I just bought some today. I will be using it btw washes on my ends, as a prepoo before washes, mixed w/ Avocado oil and EVOO, and as add-in to my DCs. I will work a small amount through my hair after washes also.

 

[Toy]

I use it as a sealer and found out it can be used as a moisturizer so i will try that.

I take a tablespoon of it with my oatmeal every morning before work. I also mix it in my body lotions because it's good for skin. And I massage my scalp with it.
