So how DO you use coconut oil as conditioner?
I didn't want to hijack the "products" thread, so I'm asking here instead.
I already make a body butter using coconut oil (along with shea butter and almond oil), so adding more coconutty goodness to my beauty product arsenal wouldn't be stretch.

Basically this, although my hair is short so I don't put it in a bun. I also use it just on the ends of my hair after blow drying if my hair is feeling dry.lilliesandvino said:I put it all through my dry hair - really get it wet with the oil. Then I put it in a bun, cover with a shower cap, wrap my head in a long sleeved tshirt, and go to bed. I shampoo it twice in the morning and then condition and style as usual.

Nope. No microwave. You have the chance of getting it too hot and burning yourself. It melts in your hands if you rub it around. Actually, when the house is warm in the summer it starts to melt on its own.
And yeah, it definitely helps. I have really long, coarse, red hair and it makes it much less frizzy. I only wash it about twice a week, though. If I washed it more, I might use coconut oil more frequently.

@lilliesandvino
Do you notice a difference just doing it once a week?

@knitknat28, you use 1 part shea butter (the pure stuff that's solid at room temp) and 1/2 part each of coconut and almond oil.
Melt the shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler set up, then let the melted mix cool for about 30 minutes. Stir in the almond oil. Then I stick it in the fridge for a while. When it's semi-solid, you whip it (I use a hand mixer) all up then put it in your jar(s) of choice. 1 cup shea with 1/2 cups coconut and almond oils will get you around 28 oz body butter. You can add any essential oils of your choice for scent.
