Salon products are superior and proven. I am a stylist and professional products are 10 times better than anything you can get in walgreens or walmart. If you want to coat your hair with lots of wax and crap, go with walgreens..if you want your hair in healthy condition with great shine and the results you want, go with salon products! this post is completely not true.

Does this apply also to the virgin kind also known as VCO (virgin coconut oil)? ^

The similarity of the stuff to sebum is what permits it to penetrate the hair shaft well, making it more flexible and less brittle, like real sebum does. That same similarity to sebum, when the stuff's used on skin, is what allows it to do the same to your pores, penetrate them just like sebum does and plug `em up. Sebum penetrating your hair = good. Sebum penetrating your pores = blackheads. :-P Dreniva, coconut oil is definitely comedogenic, and for the same reason it works well in hair: its similarity to sebum.
