A few months ago, I bought this coconut oil at Whole Foods. I bought it to make chocolate candy, it’s a long story, I won’t bore you with it, but the upshot was it tasted too much like coconut, and I didn’t like it.
So, it’s been sitting on the shelf in my pantry, and if you read about coconut oil, it’s good for a multitude of things other than cooking with it. People use it as a daily supplement, and to moisturize their skin, and they use it to condition their hair.
I gave it a try as a conditioner this morning. I didn’t warm it in water, no need for that, this stuff liquifies immediately. All I did was scoop a dab of it in my palm, held my hands together and it turned to liquid. Then I ran it through my hair and left it on for a couple of hours. Of course I looked like an Elvis reject, with my hair all greased up, no way I would have answered the door if somebody came, but when I lightly shampooed it and rinsed it out, I could really tell a big difference.
The dryness was gone, my hair was soft and shiny, and “conditioned.” And, it’s a big pound jar, (think half of the size of a jar of Crisco) so it’s a really cheap deep conditioner/moisturizer. And the coconut smell is much more appealing on my hair than it was in that chocolate.
You can get this at Walgreen’s, on sale for $10. I liked it so much, I’m going to try it as a skin moisturizer next.
Don’t you just love a deal??? I always scout out the good stuff for you ladies, and this is a winner!!!
