Are you using the coconut oil as a conditioner by itself or adding a little to your regular conditioner?

Do you just rub it into your skin and doesn't it feel greasy?

I would imagine you could use the oil in smoothies, to make a salad dressing for a salad that uses fruits like apples, oranges, grapes and even a little flaked coconut, and some berries.

I could see some stir fries using a touch of coconut oil. Maybe a little oil in oatmeal with some cinnamon, or maybe blend some with your butter for on toast or on a muffin or bagel? Maybe cook up some chicken in it? Just trying to come up with some possibilities.

I used it like a deep conditioner- left it on overnight. It’s surprisingly not greasy. It goes on a little greasy, of course, but it soaks in really well. I don’t know if I would use it daily, because it might be too heavy. Someone with very coarse hair might use just a teeny bit as a hair dressing.

It solidifies below 77 degrees, so using it in smoothies makes it chunky. But I’m going to try cooking with it a little more. I’m not creative in the kitchen. LOL

Sorry, I didn’t answer about the skin. No, it doesn’t feel greasy. It’s really surprising. It rubs right in. I only use a little bit and the difference is really amazing. I’ve been rubbing it into my nails and cuticles, too, because I get splits down the sides in the winter. The difference is amazing.

I’m always willing to try out new beauty products of all kinds and I’m truly amazed at how in such a short time the difference I’ve seen using virgin coconut oil.
