How to Condition Your Hair with Coconut Oil

Using coconut oil to nourish the hair and skin is an ancient tradition. Coconut oil is a conditioner that can be left in the hair to replace natural oils. It will leave your hair shinier and softer. This treatment is natural and provides more lasting results than any chemical treatments you can buy.

Difficulty: Easy

on 2/1/2009 Thanks for visiting my article! Coconut oil is hard at temperatures below 70 degrees. At 70, and above, it will begin to melt. It comes in jars! You do not squeeze coconut oil :) as I recently saw mentioned in another eHow article. It doesn't come in shampoo type bottles if it is pure coconut oil.
