[@auntigingy8666]

You really want to use Moroccan oil it is a fiber filling oil for mending damage. If your hair air dries frizzy you will need to apply conditioner to wet hair before you shampoo. Less friction while shampooing is important. Coconut oil can damage hair if it’s used too often. It adds a protein and overly adding protein to your hair can create the hair to be full, greasy and look worse:

Girl, thank you for recommending this oil. I’ve used the argan oil in the same line and didn’t like it but this coconut miracle oil is miracle indeed. My dry brittle ends are nourished the second I put them in. I use this oil towards the end to give my hair TLC after using the Pureology leave in conditioner and heat protectant before blow drying. My hair looks and feel so much better. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars buying the expensive morroconoil argan treatment oil and that really didn’t do nothing for my fine curly hair. Loving this. Keep these videos coming. I’ve bought 3 more bottles at Target and also got a 5 dollars gift card when you buy 4 items in the same line. Win win 😉

I find that when I don’t keep it on overnight, it just doesn’t wash out, because it still coating the hair. When I keep it on overnight, my hair has absorbed more of it, and the remainder washes out without a problem.

Maybe because your hair was damp, it trapped moisture inside your hair. Which is a good thing.

@smiledance4933 check out people that have protein sensitivity to their hair. Some girls don't benefit from it. Every so often I get hopeful and try but my hair gets super brittle. I don't know the science behind it. But try and see for yourself 👍

[@natalya7208]

@@smiledance4933 Personally I find that if you leave coconut oil in your hair when you apply moisturiser on top it doesn’t sink in as the oil has created a barrier. So your hair has slip but feels dry. However if you want to leave coconut oil in your hair, moisturise your hair first then apply the coconut oil on top (only a bit as it will thin and spread with the heat off your head, which may start running down your neck as the day goes on). I would focus the coconut oil on the ends of the hair and apply sparingly near the top/ roots of the hair. Alternatively you can apply other oils that are more moisturising like hemp oil, avocado, olive oil etc Hope that helps 😊

[@ashleighbell3083]

I bought this because of your recommendation and it is absolutely amazing, I have been trying so many different expensive products after bleach ruined my hair and overnight I could tell the difference when I used this product. I finally have some faith that my hair will start to grow because the frizz becomes less and less each time I use it, it’s got it’s shine back, and it’s more even in the way it absorbs hydration and products (before using it I would wash my hair and the hairs closest to the scalp and ends would dry almost instantly and be frizzy and or dry, and then the middle section of my hair would take forever to dry like it is the only healthy part of my hair).

[@rosseryankeegirl]

I’ve been putting this in my hair before getting into the pool. I’m hoping it will help protect my ends from drying out with the pool chemicals.

[@safirog1226]

I do the same thing (with pure coconut oil) and it really does help.

[@eholtorama]

The best thing you can do to protect your hair from chemical treated water like pool water is to get it wet before hand so that the water your hair does absorb does not have chemicals in it. I would be curious if putting oil on your hair after helps but if you go into the pool water, the dry hair, especially damaged hair is porous and your hair acrually absorbs water that contains those chemicals so you want to fill in the porous areas of the sponge with non-chemical water before hand but I bet like if you get your hair wet and then put the oil on over it that might be more protection. There’s a bunch of like dermatology journals that have articles where you can read more about this.

[@hawaiigirl8089]

Be careful wearing products in the pool bc it could damage the pools surfacing. that’s probably only if you do it frequently though

This is great! It is great to use oils before washing your hair, it can help replenish hydration and make your hair look less dull and dry. Although, you have to find out your hair type first! Some hair types and porositys can get even more damaged and dull from coconut oil. There are a bunch of more oils for them aswell. First, find your hair porosity/type. Then find an oil that’s right for you!

[@TillyFloss]

How do you find porosity?

[@ShumiAi-l5c]

@@TillyFloss ​Take some strands of hair from your brush or comb (be sure to use clean hair as products can alter the results) and drop them into a glass of water. Let them sit for a few minutes, and if the strands float after the time is up, you likely have low porosity hair. If it sinks, the hair is likely to be high porosity. You can also look up videos on how to and what products work best. Hope this helps!

Then I started layering aloe Vera over the top, then when it was not so bad I used aloe Vera alone. I kept using it for a year or so after the rosacea was gone as it seemed to pop up again if I stopped too soon. Apparently sun protection is really important. I didn't know that so didn't wear sunscreen (this was before KZbin hahaha and Google wasn't what it is today). Obviously none of this is medical advice, it's just what worked for me.

[@uberhaute_naturalz84]

This is not a new thing. It's been around for a long time. Coconut Oil and other oils/butter with *Lauric acid* are the only known oils to penetrate the hair. What it does is slow the rate with which water absorbs into the hair during washing thereby chipping away the keratin that mostly makes up our hair and making it vulnerable. *It's tried, tested and true* As regards the scalp, you can still use coconut oil but it will be better to add an essential oil e.g rosemary and peppermint to stimulate blood circulation on the scalp and penetration which helps most especially, for people with dry scalp and Afro hair that is often in need of emollient to help remove dryness from their hair.
