I’ve tried coconut oil, but it doesn’t do much for my hair....too light, I think. I have lots of curly, thick hair, so the heaviness of the olive oil works better. Slather it on, put on a plastic cap for a while, and it does wonders.
Oh, like an intense conditioner. I’ll have to try that.
When I get out of the shower, I put a dab of coconut oil in my palm, melt it around and then smoothe it on the last 6” or so of my hair and then wet comb it. It’s more of a leave in. I color my hair and it’s still down to the bottom of my shoulder blades so the ends get pretty beat up.
