Uncover the Shocking Reason Your Hair HATES Coconut Oil!

[@faithk1892]

My hair loves coconut oil. It's the cold pressed organic version. I've never had a problem with it so far. Coconut love here ❤😊

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Me too!!! 😂

[@mz.m5513]

Karen thank you so very much for explaining this in detail. All of us should get to know ourselves inside and out. (Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge). (James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all without reproach, and will be given to him). Our bodies are so uniquely made by our Heavenly Father from the top of our heads to the bottom of our feet. What works for some may not work for others. I thank God for people such as yourself for sharing the wisdom He has given you for the betterment of His people. Your heavenly countenance shines bright for all to see. Karen you are truly a blessing from above! Take care and may God's grace continue to shine upon you.

Thank you so much for a answering my question about coconut oil! That makes total sense! 😘🤗

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

You are very welcome! It was fun doing the research!

[@peepla7]

I'm protein sensitive and coconut oil makes my hair crunchy. Even if hair is soaking wet....the moment coconut oil touched it.... crunchy.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

That happens for so many people. Try babassu oil. I'm about to release my next video in an hour about this oil and its especially for people who hate coconut oil.

[@peepla7]

[@cheryls.booker3336]

Good explanation on way my hair responds so well to coconut oil!

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Yay! Fabulous!!

[@Babiielicous1996]

I love coconut oil on my hair because it strengthens my hair, helps with detangling before shampoo, and makes my curls pop due to the fact I have colour on my hair. When I have to be consistent makes it really makes me hair look much healthier. I don't use it for sealing at all. My hair is high porosity and I love coconut oil ❤

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hey there! I get it! I LOVE coconut oil for my high porosity hair too!!

[@Babiielicous1996]

@KarenofCurlHouse coconut oil just does something its just perfect 👌🏾

[@silvercurlszelda]

Great information Karen. My hair does not like plain straight coconut oil. It does okay sometimes in the winter month by itself, but it just does not like it at all in the summer months by itself.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

How does it make your hair feel in the summer?

[@SunshineRisesAgain]

I put coconut oil on my hair, not my scalp, and within 24 hours my scalp was on fire and I felt like I needed to be rushed to the hospital. I washed it out and it took approximately 3 days to calm down. Usually I don't use grease of any sort and my hair is long, softer than cotton and gray.

[@Rita-23]

Thank you for the video. I have high porosity hair and, unfortunately, my hair rejects this oil because it kinks, knots, dries, and matts my hair. My mistake, when I was newly natural, was trying all of the "best" products. Finally realized coconut oil was a NO for me.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

You are not alone! Coconut oil is certainly not the favorite of many naturals. What type of oil do you use now?

[@Rita-23]

@@KarenofCurlHouse Grapeseed, Olive, occasionally Jojoba but my hair's favorite is Avocado. ☺️

[@roxyc.6825]

This was my mistake- putting coconut oil on my dry hair. First time doing this and noticed right away my hair did not like it. It took 3 washes with a clarifying shampoo to get that shit out of my hair. I was so mad at myself. Lesson learned - this is why I only stick to products that my hair loves.

[@lizabetx483]

I brought a bottle of a coconut oil hair dress, it made my scalp itchy and my hair felt dehydrated.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Coconut oil hair dressing may have so many other ingredients in it in addition to the coconut oil. But coconut oil is quite clogging to the pores so it makes sense that the scalp itched.

[@mariasaraiva1820]

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Yay!! That’s awesome!! Thank you so much! Let me know if there is any content you’d like for me to make a video about.

[@ceystal]

When I first started my hair journey I became a product junky (still am) and found certain products did NOT work for my hair type. I combined all the products that I found didn't work for me and lo and behold coconut oil was always one of the top ingredients. I used coconut oil by itself on my hair and it basically matted my hair simply just applying it. Lesson learned and stayed away from coconut oil in the top 5 ingredients. I heard babassu oil was a good alternative and use that as a prepoo now

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hey There! I am literally creating a video about Babassu oil!! So many people have a such poor experiences with coconut oil that even though it works for me, I'm gonna switch it up too to see what a difference it makes.

[@javonlarreta3432]

My hair is gray, high porosity and loves coconut oil. I sometimes use the 100% CO Shea Moisture Daily Hydration Conditioner as a rinse out. Per the directions, I usually leave it in for up to 3 minutes; this time, I left it in for about 15 minutes (why not?). Big mistake!! My hair was super wiry and felt coated with oil! 😩The styling products I used on top of that only made it worse (it was another brand's coconut line)! But now it all makes sense (thanks for the demo). I understand what CO does to my hair and how to use it. Thanks Karen!

[@chandrecloete595]

My scalp breaks out in sores,stopped using coconut oil,why might that be?I love your videos❤❤

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello there! Thank you so much! Does your scalp break out after using coconut oil? So if you use it in your hair, and if you apply close to your scalp and it gets on your scalp then it could cause breakout. Coconut oil is comedogenic, which means it that may clog your scalp, which would also explain the soreness, and I don't recommend it for the scalp. Here's a video that explains it better -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/r166qHmMjt59g68

Should you seal with coconut oil (considering it's a penetrating oil)?

[@Samuellwright]

Was looking for the same

[@ROZIEEEE]

Coconut oil is best used for pre-shampoo application, not for sealing. You're better off using oils like jojoba, grapeseed (both on the lighter side) or castor (on the heavier), argan, and the like.

[@patriciarobets9301]

Karen first thanks, since subscribing to your channel, l use C/O for pre-poos only, that seems to work best for me. I do appreciate you explaining in full details .

It gives me protein overload . I stopped using it years ago . I recently made the mistake of using Africas best prepoo which contains coconut and after 3 weeks it gave me a severe protein over load . As soon as it touched my hair it was dry and matted . I have never seen anything like it . It would not detangle no matter how long I brushed. I lost 5 inches of hair

What if my hair moisturizer contains coconut oil in it?? Can i still use it then? My hair is very dry .The moisturizer is made of mango butter,shea butter,avocado oil,coconut oil and a few other things. God Bless ❤

Yes you can! Because it's a blended formula I'm sure the coconut oil is in a smaller percentage. The mango, shea, avocado oil are all excellent for the hair so I'm sure your product is the good stuff! 😂

@@KarenofCurlHouse I thought so too but the coconut oil is the very first ingredient. Oops... So basically i boughy the whole product line.
