Yes, it is a staple. I usually buy mine from the health food store. It is the best oil I've used in my hair. I'll put it on after I wash. It defines my curls and gives a nice shine. I love it! If I'm wearing my hair curly, I'll use it every time I wash/cowash and that could be every other day.

lots of women here use coconut oil to seal, prepoo, mixed in with leave-ins and conditioners and so on...do a search here and you will find a plethora of information about it. these should get you started. good luck!

I use it for everything!! DC, Prepoo, Sealant, in my normal conditioners, in some of my moisturizers, and I take it internally and use it on my skin

I've recently returned to my coconut oil concoction:
Coconut Oil
WGO
peppermint oil (for scent)

And I've used this on my scalp for the past two days in a row.

Over the last three years or so I have experimented with several different oils and this is one of the few I can use without awful, crunchy results. I've also learned that a very little, tiny bit, particularly on the ends, does the trick for me. I don't need more than that. I love coconut oil.
I recently bought some organic virgin coconut cream oil from FNWL. I really like it. It's a bit expensive, but since I only use a tiny bit, it should last me a while.

If I had to choose one oil that I couldn't live without, it would be coconut oil. I use it in pre-poos', conditioners, to seal my ends, etc. I have tried both Spectrum and Parachute, and like both of them. I love the squirt bottle that Parachute comes in, because it dispenses easily in small amounts. I love Spectrum for its very light coconut smell. I even use it as a moisturizer on my feet and lips, as well as cook with it. You can use it as often as needed, it's a mild carrier oil, and mixes easily with other oils. I use it at least 3 times a week.

girrrlllll....did you ask if anyone used coconut oil on their hair????
the answer is a big, fat YES!!! lots and lots of ladies here use coconut oil as frequently as everyday (like me) or as infrequently as once per week.
i don't think anyone who uses it as a part of their regimen uses is more infrequent than once per week (ie once a month), though...THAT would be pointless imo.

Hi, new member here, I'm learning a lot from you guys 
I have to say I am a huge fan of coconut oil. the type I use is edible, it's unrefined, unbleached and has a beautiful coconut smell to it. When I apply it to my body (just have actually!) my skin feels like satin.
I apply it as a pre-wash once a week. I apply some to my hair, leave it for at least an hour, if I have time overnight. Apply shampoo and wet hair. You'll have a hard time washing it out if you wet your hair first *lol* my hair is manageable, strong, soft and SO shiny. In between washes I apply a little to give hair a bit of shine and to keep in moisture on the edges when they're a bit frazzled.
I'm in the UK so I get a huge big tube from Holland and Barrets for £10. Worth every penny!

I mix it in my conditioner and I also put a little on my ends while my hair is wet.

Coconut oil is my new favorite thing to use on my human hair half wigs. It minimizes frizz and shedding. Also it rarely tangles now.

Staple. I mix it with olive oil and hot water, put in a old braid sheen spray bottle and spray my hair every night. I use it to pre-poo as well, and if it gets wicked cold this winter, I'll mix it with shea to do my twists for the winter...

I love it...I use it to moisturize my scalp and seal my ends! I also discovered that applying to my hair after a hot bath makes my hair feel fantastic in the morning...now that i'm 9weeks post (aka the longest i've been) it helps a lot

Thanks for this! I had no idea that H&B sold unrefined CO! I've been buying it from here. www.sheabuttercottage.co.uk, and waiting for days in the process - doh!
CO is gorgeous though, I'll be using it along with some other oils as a hot oil treatment tonight.

I just mixed up a moisturizer with coconut oil, EVOO, some leftover leave-in, and an unimpressive moisturizer. I put it in a spray bottle and will be applying it to my length nightly.

Mmmm...every single day - a small bottle of the Parachute brand oil, and a bigger bottle called Surabhi from one Indian store I go to; same packaging though. It's made my hair thick, shiny, and darker

All day everyday.
Coconut oil is my preferred hair oil because of it's nourishing properties. Jojoba and the others run a close second.
I use Goya (Spanish), grace (Jamaican) or Roberts (Guyanese) most often. Cheap effective and they all do double duty in my kitchen.
