Good brands of Coconut Oil?

i dont know any brand names but you should look for unrefined and cold press ones. also check the ingredients it should only be coconut oil.

I use ma Devlin's organic virgin coconut oil from amazon. It's 7 quid or something which is about half the price of buying it from a shop.

I was actually looking to purchase one from Amazon as I still have a free student Prime trial, so this one would be perfect! I think I'll give this one a go then unless anyone else responds with a better suggestion in the next day or so. Thanks 🙂

Yeah that's the one 🙂 I hope it works well for you.

I use the Lucy bee coconut oil found in Sainsburys.

I use Superdrugs own brand, £2 - £3 IIRC.

I use whatever brand, I have never noticed any differences tbh.  I only buy virgin organic as i use it for lots of other things besides hair. The stuff sold for beauty/hair purposes is usually hydrogenated, it seems to work just as well for conditioning, but I don't know if hydrogenation affects the oils properties for protecting hair whilst bleaching.

I just use the superdrug one too...Just stocked up today as it's buy one get one half price!  🙂

I use cooking grade coconut oil. No brand in particular as long as it's pure. I also cook with it.

Do not use Coconut Oil that has been intermixed with other ingredients.  You just need to look for 100% pure Coconut Oil.  You can find this in Supermarkets and Health Food Stores.  A littles goes a long way and it lasts for ages.  I wrote a blog on Coconut Conditioning a long time ago - so you might find it useful:-

Do you know if hydrogenated coconut oil is as effective?

I thought the superdug was mixed with other ingredients. It does say fragranced which makes me thing its not 100% pure. Supermarket stuff is the real deal and you normally get more for your money. I went to Holland and Barret and walked straight back out when I saw their price for the same thing.(raw)

I got mine in a health food shop that is (weirdly) inside my local HUGE Tesco - it's a strange Tesco, it's almost a mini shopping mall.  I keep craving my roller skates when I go there, it's so vast and weirdly laid out.

I think this is the stuff - raw, organic, virgin, cold pressed, farted out by unicorns, etc.  (pretty sure I didn't pay that much for it though!!  Even though it's a huge tub)

It's nice stuff.  I mostly use it for my hair but cook with it sometimes.  My cats like it too, I let them lick it off my fingers.
