Coconut oil doesn’t ACTUALLY moisturize your hair, it really “clogs” the hair cuticle. It prevents moisture from getting in while making your hair feel like straw. Similar to blue magic aka grease
Please don’t come on here with “it’s a cultural thing you wouldn’t understand” argument 🙄
I’ve been here since the beginning of the natural hair movement and I know how this started. People started using coconut oil out of desperation because we were looking for a way to moisturize our hair
I am behind the chair and I experience various hair textures and coconut oil has been detrimental to them all! After I clarified her hair and started styling it, she said she felt an IMMEDIATE difference.
Oily hair does not equal moisturized hair
We actually moisturized her hair and the end result was soft touchable curls

Ok, I thought it was just me. Coconut oil has never worked for me. It just sits on top of my hair like "Hey girl"

"This is why you shouldn't use coconut oil in your hair"..... (doesn't tell us WHY, but shows us very normal looking 4c hair) 🤔

This does NOT apply to those of us with high porosity hair. Coconut oil helps to seal moisture in. If you have low porosity hair then it will sit on top of your hair and build up. Know your hair porosity. Everything isn’t for everybody.

She is defining her curls using the product she uses to define her curls with.

I'm from the Caribbean, and coconut oil is what we use growing up. The problem is so many companies are making it and adding stuff to it. For us in the Caribbean, our mothers and grandmothers made it from scratch, which is a process it goes through. It cleans your scalp it was also used on a baby's scalp if their scalp become dry.

Well, I think the main point here is what your hair loves and doesn't love. My sister's hair thrives on Coconut oil while mine sheds alot when I use it. I now 100% agree with what one KZbinr said; THE NATURAL HAIR COMMUNITY HAS BECOME TOXIC! Don't use this, don't do that, oils are bad for your hair, etc 🤦🏽‍♀️. Ladies, just use whatever works for you...better still use whatever your mom and granny used! These natural hair stylists ain't God!

Coconut oil is my hair's favorite oil. It's not the moisturizer, it's the sealant. If you're using it as a solo moisturizer, that's why it doesn't work for you.
