People. Do as I say.

I have used it as a deep conditioner. I wet my hair, put it on, then put my hair in a towel for about 10-20 minutes, then washed and conditioned my hair as usual. It really makes my hair so much softer!

[BunnyMacDougal]

I'm suggestible. What *kind* of coconut oil?

[Deleted]

I need more details. And a picture of the coconut oil container.

[goaskalice]

I've got a Trader Joes container of coconut oil in my pantry. Guess I know what I'll be doing with it this weekend.

[AHappierHour]

Your hair looks so pretty

Coconut oil is awesome! My hands get really dry and I started using it for them and its made a huge difference.

[Deleted]

Sold. I'll go get some. If it doesn't work for my hair, I can use it on my sad, dry nurse hands.

[justkly]

Whoa. At first glance, that pic looks like a floating head. hehe

[bonquiqui]

Trying this because your hair looks fab

[thedutchgirl]

It is generally by all the other cooking oils--olive, grapeseed, etc.

Kiz, your hair looks great! My waxer also recommends it for, um, labia dryness.

Do you have a Costco?  My coworker got a giant tub of it there.  

Nope.

Only Walmart and HyVee. They might have it in their organic section.

You should be able to find it at walmart in the aisle with olive/canola/vegetable oils. 

[jayded]

Do you have thick hair? I have very thin hair, and find that deep conditioners make my hair greasy.

[amberlyrose]

I keep a jar next to my shower and put it on my upper arms as a moisturizer and sometimes use it instead of lotion. I also use it as a deep conditioner when I remember. It works wonders!

[lmbml]

It also good for chicken skin, keratosis pilaris

[lexxasaurus]

Does it matter what kind of shampoo/conditioner you use? I'ma cheap ass and use Herbal Essence and no fancy shit right now. I've been thinking about using the coconut oil but if it leaves it feeling or looking greasy depending I wouldn't want to! Your hair looks beautiful though!

I've seen it in the vitamin aisle at walmart. Never checked the oil aisle; maybe it's there, too.

Haha good to know!  :-)

TMI: We use it as lube. It's fantastic. (Yes, we have a dedicated jar that stays on the nightstand).

Eye makeup remover!

[mushmouse]

I just bought this exact jar at Trader Joes and will try this! My face has turned into a hot mess from ovulation to the start of my period. I just read about using raw honey and coconut oil as a mask, which is why I bought it. If anyone is interested I'll report back on this use of the miracle oil.

It's also works great as anal bleach and once I put it on a boil and it was gone by the next day. Amazing!

Good to know! I am hoping it'll help my oral myiasis.

[Deleted]

I think I'll try this. Hopefully it will make my hair less frizzy.

[cc]

I used it to get rid of lice in DD's hair and her hair was super soft afterwards. Much better than using the chemicals from the pharmacy.

[Kore]

I did randomly buy a jar last night. It was $12. I couldn't remember why I was buying it, but I knew people on gbcn said I needed it.

It's embarrassing how easily influenced I am.

[Deleted]

Yep, this stuff is awesome for your hair.

After shampooing/conditioning/styling, I take a dime-sized amount, rub it between my hands and run my fingers through the ends of my hair (avoiding the roots, of course).

Gets rid of the frizzies, add more shine, and of course, makes me smell like a tropical retreat.

Damn you all. I'm such a follower!

[copperboom]

Did you use it up by your scalp, or just on the ends?


@breebirdy, I've seen it at HyVee. If yours doesn't have it, they will order it for you if you ask.

Only 3 left. Better hurry!

[rmacb]

I am going to do this right now!  I've had this sitting around for awhile and needed some inspiration on how to use it.
Your hair looks fantastic!

I use it mainly from my ears down, but run my fingers over the top of my hair just when I'm finished applying it. I have oily roots, so I don't want to put too much there. I just make sure to wash thoroughly afterwards and it's not oily at all.

[cheeseandcrackers]

I've done this.. and I love it! Coconut oil FTW
