I usually have three jars of coconut oil* at any given time. One near my tub for oil rinsing and pre pooing, another in my kitchen cabinet for cooking and another on top of my sons chest of drawers for quick and easy access to apply to his skin and mine.
We have talked about the huge benefits of using coconut oil for your hair yet we know that it is not cheap so having an arsenal of it is not always financially feasible. Many of us consider it to be a somewhat guilty but often necessary pleasure.
While most of us have had success using coconut* oil on our hair, some ladies’ experiences have been hit and miss at best. A common complaint is that it is not heavy enough to keep thick low porosity strands moisturized for long enough.
If that’s you then it’s likely that you are at a loose end on what to do with the rest of the giant jar of coconut oil* you bought on a whim.
Some of us who use it religiously and love it know that there are at least a 100 uses for it, but if you don’t, then I am about to share 51 with you right now. Brace yourself , I intend to speed through this one!
