Coconut Oil

[noneother]

Hey fellas I want a thick full hair (yeah, on my head). I've posted before about losing hair and whatnot and came across coconut oil which has been used by Indians for 4000 yrs to give them healthy hair. Anyone tried this personally? Did you find the refined or unrefined to be better?
(kinda random thread, my apologies)

yeah coconut oil is awsome for thining/dry hair i use it.

As for the refined/unrefined business i havnt a clue what your on about but any way just buy shampoo containing coconut oil it doesnt have to be anything expensive i just use the boots value bottle lol.

dam, i can't remember, i've never figured out how to read indian. My mom used to get something in a blue bottle. It was solid till it melted in your hands, on hot days it would stay liquid.

I think if you asked someone at an indian store for coconut oil for hair, they'll know what you're looking for.

I used to rub it into my hair, leave in for a few minutes, then rinse it out. Your hair may smell like the oil for a day or too, so make sure you like the smell.

thanks. did you use shampoo to rinse it out? I'd imagine it'd be damn hard to get out

You are supposed to injest coconut oil, not wash your hair with it. Butter and vinegar are also very good for your hair.

ok so i went out to an Indian grocer and got a brand called "Parachute". She's used it for years. Apparently its the most famous in India.

Well, its sorta like conditioner, you're still susposed to feel it in your hair. I used shampoo only occasionally after coconut oil, when i didn't want it to be greasy. Without shampoo, you're hair will be alittle greasy for the first day. I'd reccomend using an old shirt or something over your pillow when you sleep.

Not sure if shampoo-ing decreases the affect of coconut oil. Experiment and see.

Some people rub coconut oil into their hair dry, then rinse it out in the shower. I never had the time to do that in highschool.

In case you're wondering, i started using gel/hair spray junior year of highschool, and stopped caring about the consistancy of my hair so i stopped using coconut oil
