Superdrug coconut oil

there's a few converts of this product on here! I stab it with a comb then rub it into my hands haha then put it on over night and wash it out, its sooo good! its good to use as a serum too if you use a small amount.

Just a tip for the future, it's easier to wash oil out with conditioner.

I've used this too and it's fab. My hair felt the best it's ever done!

Cheers for the tip, I was reluctant to use conditioner with it because on the label it says not to, but if it makes it easier to wash out then I'll try that when I use the oil again next week 🙂

Glad to see that others of you have had good results with this product too 🙂

Ah this is good to know as Ive bought some of this.  Tried it as a serum so far, but wanna give it a go overnight too.

I dont think this works as well as henna wax 😮
But, it did make it less frizzy for a few days 😉

I've just re-dyed my hair today, left it on for a few hours, then plopped on some coconut oil, left that for an hour or so then washed it all off. My hair is so soft except i think my ends needed it on for longer. Hair smells awesome though, even did a vinegar rinse and even after that I can still just smell coconut in my hair 🙂

oh, and to get it out of the tub, i put it in a sink full of hot water for a few mins, melts it a treat!

I just melt the whole thing in the microwave, still in the tub!

I used 3/4's of a tub on my previously bleach bathed hair.
Left it on for about 2 hours, washed it out on the night, and had to wash again in the morning.
i usualy only do conditioner washes so wasnt so bad but didint seem to make my hair much softer/if any. just a bit thicker i think.

Any idea's why this happened?

I love this coconut oil. I get really bad dry skin round my mouth in the winter and this has cleared it right up.

I'd stick to either scooping it out by hand (it has a low melting point and will melt on contact) or warm water, microwaves will damage the nutrients in the oil

I bought some of this and had the same problem with it being too solid - my microwave REALLY didn't like the tub, though, as the light started to flash and crackle after only a couple of seconds! Eek. In the end I used a hair dryer to soften it instead. I was really pleased with the results - my hair barely felt like it had been bleached at all even though I'd whacked on 40vol for the full 90 minutes!

Thanks for sharing this, I wasn't aware that microwaving the oil could damage it 🙁 I tend to put the tub in to melt the entire lot, use what I need and let the rest of the oil harden again, and repeat the process week after week 🙁

I have the same problem, it starts hissing and crackling, and my tub now has a huge dent melted into it 😮 I might try that hairdrier trick, thanks for mentioning that 🙂
