Personal thoughts
- I've been on the coconut oil regime for awhile now (once a week) and I'm loving it :)
- There's plenty of articles detailing the benefits of coconut oil for hair e.g. promotes hair growth, hydrates hair, etc. I'm not quite sure about hair growth but my hair definitely feels softer and more manageable.
- Typically, I mask my hair just before shower. I'll pour a little (you won't need a lot) coconut oil on my palm, rub my palms together and run my palms and fingers through my hair. Tip: Best to comb out your hair prior to this!
- Leave on for ~20mins. I bun my hair up too so it doesn't get to my face and neck.
- I'll rinse it off with my regular hair wash and shampoo.
- I've read recommendations to leave the coconut oil on like a leave-on conditioner. I tried and found this to be a little too oily for my liking. Didn't like the shine, flatness and obvious smell of coconut oil on my hair :(
