COCONUT OIL: OH HOW I LOVE THEE!!!

I absolutely looove coconut oil!!!  It does my hair right, I cook with it, I make lip balm with it, I oil my skin with it, etc. Coconut oil is one of the few oils to penetrate through the hair shaft because of its molecular structure.  I personally use it as a pre-poo (which is a treatment applied to the hair prior to shampooing or co-washing) and I finger detangle with it.  It's a great conditioner for the hair, think of the natives in those tropical regions with that beautiful shiny black hair!!!  Here's how I do my pre-poo!!!

I take my jar of unrefined organic coconut oil
part my hair into 4 sections
I part one section at a time
I put the oil from root to tip
after I am done with the section I put it in a bun
then I cover my hair with a plastic cap for a couple hrs then wash

It helps keep the oils in your hair instead of completely washing them out.  Do you use coconut oil?  Do you pre-poo with it?  Leave a comment below!!!
