Coconut Oil Leave-In Conditioner

Nutiva Coconut Oil. I purchased a
15oz. Jar at GNC for $12.99. Little
did I know, it's cheaper at Rite-Aid.

1/2 Teaspoon of Solid Oil, Warmed between your hands and finger combed through the length (not roots) of your hair 2-3+ times per week after showering.

The Drawbacks:

Be careful with how much you're using. Remember, it looks like a little when it's solid, but as soon as it hits your hands it melts completely into oil. It might take you one or two uses to figure out what works for you.

My Experience:

The first week without shampoo, my leave-in conditioner and my mousse were not pleasant. Simply washing my hair every day would not do. My hair had patches of frizz, fly-aways and just felt it was upset at me for putting it on a farmer's market diet. I wanted my curls to be perfectly formed like with mousse but soft like leave-in and tame like pomade. I know, I can be pretty demanding. The Coconut Oil lived up to each expectation after using it 3-4 times. I didn't heed ,the warnings I had read about how much to use at first, "I have a horse mane that almost reaches my butt, 'pea-sized' nothin'! When does using 'pea-sized' anything actually work?" Under a seven mattresses and a princess. That's when. I looked like a grease ball for two days. After some cider vinegar, some baking soda and some Chamomile tea, I tried again, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. After 1/2 a teaspoon, I stopped. I woke up in the morning to perfectly soft, shiny hair. Bazinga. After adjusting my all natural routine, I now use it 3 times a week and I don't need to use mousse, leave-in or pomade any more.
