How to Apply Coconut Oil to your hair
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I will be showing you how I use coconut oil in my hair. I use it as a deep conditioner once a week, and I leave it in my hair for 1 and a half hours.
How to use it:
Take any coconut oil (the more pure/organic the better), melt it in the microwave so that it is at a liquid state, shampoo and rinse your hair, split hair into sections, apply the coconut oil from ends to root then cover head with a plastic bag/shower cap.
Thank you guys for watching!!

By the way you don’t have to microwave coconut oil you can just grab a handful and rub it in between your hands

Suicidal Doors you can leave the jar in the fridge and scoop some out into a bowl. I usually use a knife to cut a chunk out. Then put the bowl into another bowl of hot water and wait a few minutes for it to melt. That’s what I do since I’m not sure if it should go back and forth between warm and cold lol.

Promiseluv27 no you don’t have to. I just prefer to cause it’s so hot in Texas, my mind tells me it will “last” longer lol.
I use this method for applying my coconut oil in my hair, it’s really good!!!!! However, the only thing I would change is to not shower before applying the coconut oil, because your gonna have to shower AGAIN after you’ve left it in, 2 showers in the same day????? Showering too much is actually bad for hair as the hot water can be damaging but all the water and weight on your hair makes a lot of it fall out. What I do is apply the oil on Saturday night, sleep with it and keep it in allll day until sunday evening, which is when I have a shower. The next day, My hair is ready for school, left shiny soft and healthy. ❤️ Also, don’t put coconut oil in the microwave!!!! I’ve heard it takes out all the nutrients that actually help your hair, don’t know if it’s true but tbh I don’t need to microwave it anyway because it melts really easily, I just keep the jar of oil in front of me and melt a little in my hands and apply it.

Coconut is perfect for hair and brows and everywhere. Good remedies and serums are among the dos too, I think specialists would agree. I've heard about Cherish Brow booster that isn't worse than coconut oil, I personally know only about Cherish Lash and it makes wonders on my eyelashes so I guess all their products are good. Anyways, keep digging and finding top solutions for your hair growth.
I didn't know you can do this. Thank you for sharing.
DONT MICROWAVE THE COCONUT OIL microwaving the coconut oil removes the natural nutrients if heated to a certain point and it’s not as good for your hair

Just be sure you're not using heat styling after leaving it in hair. It's still oil and will fry your hair
i finally got my coconut oil and used it once in my wash regimen and several times on my hair during and after styling. I love the way it made my hair feel after my wash. As far as a daily regimen use, at times my hair would look a little frizzy. No worries though. I ran across a post on Pintrest (#ilovepintrest) that suggests using the LCO (leave-in, cream, oil) method when using coconut oil in your styling regimen to avoid frizz. The LOC method when using this oil gives hair a frizzy look. Once i switched to LCO when using the coconut oil I noticed the difference. Let me say this may or may no be the case for others. It could depend on your hair type, but I'm not sure. Just wanted to put that our there just in case others have experienced this. If you have and thought about getting rid of your coconut oil....don't before you try the LCO method. The switch may work better for you. I really love the coconut oil and will continue using it as a part of my hair care reform. Thank you Lexis!

No problem girl! So I shampoo with a sulfate free shampoo, then apply coconut oil, then let that sit. Then I get in the shower and rinse the coconut oil out, and shampoo and condition after rinsing the coconut oil. If you don't shampoo, the coconut oil will be hard to get out.
Do a video that has the same idea as how to straighten your hair and keep it for a while
yes it's good for the here but did you know it was also good for the scalp when I couldn't find the normal dandruff shampoo for my daughter that we used anymore I started looking for natural ways and found that coconut oil is extremely good to get rid of dandruff used it about once a week or so and it was fine no more dandruff
