What is the best way to apply coconut oil for maximum pentration?
  • Is using coconut oil as a pre-poo or a leave in after shampoo/cond going to benefit my hair the most?
  • i used it as 'pre-poo' last time i washed my hair and saw a big difference. can't get away with leaving it in though, as it's way too heavy.
  • I do both. I deep condition with coconut oil once a week. Every time I clean my scalp and hair I take a pea sized amount of coconut oil and scrunch it into wet hair. It helps to give me the nice 'clumpy-ness' I am looking for.

    For reference, I have wavy/curly hair.
  • i think it's hard to get away with coconut oil as leave in with straighter hair
  • I have used coconut oil when drying my hair straight Ally. I scrunched it into soaking wet hair and only a tiny (pea-sized or less) amount, then dried it straight. Too much makes your hair look greasy though. And you are right, it is hard to get away with it.
