WHY I STOPPED USING COCONUT OIL ON MY LOCS

[@naturalbeauty0214]

What are your thoughts on coconut oil? Does your locs love it or hate it?

[@beardabrindle3371]

NaturalBeauty0214 coconut oil is good, but peppermint oil is better to me from my experience 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MrsNewtonsBigFamilyBigNoise]

I don't have locs however my daughter do I haven't tried it on hers though.

[@kikilocd]

I have color treated hair and my locs love coconut oil. You can put oil directly on locs right?? I do it very lightly.

[@luvlocs06]

For me coconut oil is a no go. I try hard to stay away from products that are solid at room temp to avoid buildup.

[@foevaro5440]

For my daughter's (loose natural )hair it works. It seems like it does nothing for my locs🙄

Coconut oil in my experience depends on where you get from, your hair texture, and climate that you live in. I am from the islands. My hair is thick and wavy. When I use coconut oil back on the islands, my hair and scalp love it. Now that I live in a desert, coconut oil dries up my hair and scalp. It’s all about experimenting what your hair and scalp reacts to.

[@sipstea26]

My hair loves coconut oil. My locs were always much more soft when I used it versus when I didn't..and yes the shiny moisturized look is wonderful.

[@DanYah85]

I love your melanin! 💁🏾‍♀️

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Thank you!

[@hisbeautifultruth5931]

Her skin certainly is rich and lovely

[@83quez]

Yes , she’s definitely popping lol

[@83quez]

I’ve had locs for ten years and I only retwist with water and coconut oil , sometimes raw aloe gel that I make myself . First I wash with a rose water shampoo first

[@ers18619g]

Just started my loc journey and I just discovered the same thing, the coconut oil in my regimen was drying out my locs ! Thanks for this informational video

[@KillerJ1231]

Just started my locs and I’ve been using coconut oil for the past few weeks glad I found this while I’m still beginning.

[@daleblackwood6064]

I use coconut oil (light sheen spray) it helps to moisturize & condition my locs

[@Zacharias3]

Yes! Coconut oils only work for me during the warm months here in northern USA. During our cold winters and drying heating systems coconut just hardens on my skin and hair just as it does in my in the containers I store it in. In the summer it is a liquid.

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

Coconut oil can be drying, I make my own soap and found this out from that experience. What I've learned about coconut oil and locs is if you're going to use it, make it yourself because it's way more moisturizing. Coconut oil made on the stove is way more moisturizing for some reason. I also do herbal oil extracts and the best oil to use is fractionated coconut oil, it lasts longer and doesn't solidify, also the properties of the oil, extracts the benefits from the herbs the best. Gabriel on YT taught me that. For anyone that wants a coconut oil alternative, try babassu oil, contains all the benefits of coconut oil and it's way more moisturizing. I don't oil my locs, only my scalp, I use aloe vera juice/rosewater and some other herbs to spritz my locs.

[@tomecowilliams676]

I don't use it on my locs for the same reason. It dries my hair and it makes feel brittle. I feel it just sits on my hair and doesn't penetrate. Maybe just applying to the scalp only, idk.

[@kevina1173]

I'm on my second lock journey and am 3 years in and am finally just now starting to learn what works for my hair and what doesn't. I used coconut oil for the first time a few days ago, because I'm trying figure out how to keep moisture in my hair, because I live in Alaska where the air is always dry. It seems okay, but I also use a cocktail of other oils mixed with water that I spray my hair with, so I don't know if the coconut oil is actually doing anything. But I am going to follow your advice and steer away from it for awhile. Thank you!

[@Zacharias3]

Excellent presentation! I have low porosity hair delicate cuticle hair. Changing my whole hair care in response to understanding better how products work. Thank you again.

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Glad it was helpful!

You are DEFINITELY making great content. I'm on my 4th or 6th video and this video made me press subscribe and I'm gonna send your channel to my coworker. 🥰

[@MelloneeKecia]

Great video and I can’t use coconut oil on my locs or anywhere on me because I’m allergic to it. But I do use vitamin e oil and almond oil for my locs .

[@k.burbank868]

Mellonee Edgeston almond oil is a God send!

[@cherrelle9964]

I use coconut oil on my sisterlocks but only at the end of my shower after I rinse my shampoo/conditioner. I put it in rub it through my hair shaft/ends but I don’t put it on my scalp at all. Then I rinse it out. The residue is all I really want to lock in moisture. Also when I rinse the oil out it’s doubles as a in-shower moisturizer for my skin.

[@DirtyFastingLife]

I use the MCT oil...coconut oil...with water...its easier... absorbs easier..and I only use a quarter size amount

[@williesdaughter24]

I think it's the type of coconut oil being used. I had protein overload once when I had loose natural hair. It was dry as straw. I found out tho that its the unrefined one that did it. I have locs now and my hair was a little dry. I use the refined one now. I believe the unrefined one has more protein in it than the refined one. The unrefined coconut oil is too strong and over time will do more damage to your hair than good. I just started on the refined coconut oil and am testing it out now. I only plan on using maybe once a day or every other day sparingly to see what happens. So far my locs are soft and scalp feels good. Cant wait to see if this works for the long hall

[@zeekpaldo4585]

I subscribed! Good looking out 💪🏿

[@Ninoplayz974]

It’s funny. I’m watching this as I just put coconut oil in my hair, but I learned something new now that I know it does that I’m not gonna use it anymore because I hate when my hair feels dry and brittle

[@Livingmybestlife887]

My hair doesn’t like coconut oil either.

[@godsway8703]

Very good information I didn't know about porosity

[@DirtyFastingLife]

Beautiful..sis...your skin is GORGEOUSNESS...

[@Sarahtlopez]

Been screammmminggg this at people, use it in ya bath, use it in your food but nothing else! Im using it on my starter locs because I kinda want my hair to dry out but still look shiny

[@ChocdocSam]

Great vid queen 👸🏿🙏

[@cusp_23_tswilliams32]

I noticed that effect on my hair too, like, 5-7 years ago. 🙅🏽‍♀️

[@BeeNaturalMe]

Any advice on Micro Loc care/maintenance and/or routines?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

BeeNaturalMe You would treat them the exact same way as traditional locs. A hydration spray or light weight leave in conditioner As needed and oil for your scalp. Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner

[@yumandrumu]

I love the set easy and clean way to Neal the point

[@EssenceofGod5657]

My hair doesn’t respond to coconut oil..great vid

[@LoveHeavenly]

Writing while watching video....honestly I've stopped using it myself now. I somtimes use for my body after I get out the shower. Don't know why I stopped but I think feel like my hair doesn't really care for it any more.

[@jessicab331]

Ashley Chandler same!!!! I still use it on my skin but not on my hair.

[@youtube.comybvv]

Can rose water with glycerin be used in the hair?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Theressa C Absolutely!

[@royhenderson1581]

[@davidzimmerman8169]

If you want more videos shown then do work. Stop complaining. I came here for tips and all you're doing is complaining that you need more subs

[@godshelper6322]

I think the majority of people now how to subscribe or like, it comes down to if they want to,and by telling people indirectly to subscribe dont influence nobody.🙏
