Linz, Coconut oil is GREAT for the hair. It makes a wonderful hair conditioner, and aids in preventing damage to the hair.

Some suggestions for use of coconut oil:

1. Massage coconut oil onto scalp/hair, leave in for 1/2 hour, then rinse with warm water (repeat up to 3 times a week)

2. For split ends, apply Coconut oil and lime juice

Choose a good source of premium, virgin coconut oil (you want to choose an oil with the least amount of processing so that you get the most nutrients possible..vitamin E..antioxidants etc.)

Take care.

Question about coconut oil: I bought some and it actually looks like shortening or white butter instead of "oil". Is it suppose to look like this? I can heat it up and it melts, but in it's "natural state", it is hard. Do you apply it to your hair in the oil state or as Crisco? :-)

Well...coconut oil is the best for hair in my opinion. Most Indians use it and have healthy hair.
Coconut oil looks like that when it solidifies. In cold countries, it tends to solidify. Don't worry, melt it and apply. Actually it is supposed to be in liquid form.
