Oscar Hair Recap
You know what? Even professional hairstylists can have the same issues as our clients. 

cue gasp.

Dryness, dull and lifeless hair, split ends, etc. And even though we know about all the best deep conditioners, leave-in treatments and other products to spruce up our locks, sometimes it helps to just get back to basics, nature style. 

I was mentioning my dry hair woes to my colorist Kelli, and she told me to try coconut oil.

“One of my clients came in and her hair was the softest it has ever been. I asked her what she’s been using, and she said coconut oil. Like, ‘on the shelf in the grocery store next to the olive oil’ coconut oil.”

So I ran out that evening and picked up a jar of coconut oil to deep condition my locks. 
The oil comes in solid form, but as soon as it warms up, either from the warmth of your hand or the warm steam in the shower, it liquifies and becomes spreadable.

My greatest fear in trying this natural conditioner is that it would make my hair greasy and heavy.

Childhood memories began to surface, and I recalled a time when my mom did a hot oil treatment on my hair.

It was soft, yes, but it was also extremely oily. YES I KNOW. Oily hair from an oil treatment—surprising. At this point you may be thinking,”so Kate. Are hot oil treatments good for your hair?”

I’d answer with a simple “meh.” Hot oil treatments aren’t bad for your hair, but they don’t add much other than, that’s right, oil and weight. Instead, consider coconut oil since it’s lighter, and just as conditioning.

Anyway, back to reality: I tried the coconut oil by scooping out about 1 tablespoon, emulsifying it in my hands, and rubbing it from mid-shaft to ends on my wet, freshly shampoo’d hair. I let it sit for about 6 minutes. Then I rinsed, and followed up with my normal conditioner.

And man was I impressed. It filled in all the holes of dryness and left me with stronger-feeling, softer hair. And absolutely no oily residue. And since then, my hair has been in fantastic shape.

It’s a subtle deep conditioner. You may not feel an extreme difference between the before and after, but I noticed the integrity of my hair was restored especially as I styled it.

Join me in the coconut oil tree hugging, would you? Maybe split a can with your neighbor since it seems you can only buy it in one size. Or, maybe you could begin cooking with it as well, who knows.

I’ve found a few other articles on the many wonderful uses of coconut oil too:

Such a great tip! I have such fine, thin hair that has recently started showing some dryness and I’ve been on the hunt for a good product. I’m definitely going to buy some coconut oil now.

TY! I have been having winter hair issues ( dry, almost light feeling, lifeless but shiny) and was pondering this remedy I’ve heard so much about online (pinterest,blogs,ect). Now that you put your stamp of approval on it, I’m going to get it! I also heard it helps hair grow more and faster, which would be a Godsend since I’ve lost about 30% of my hair due to cancer pills ( im fine now, but it’s been 4 months and hair still gone). Cannot wait to try!

There is a very cheap brand of coconut oil also found in the grocers cooking oil section…LouAna brand. Under $6 for a good sized jar.
I use it for soap making, but it can be used for a myriad of other things.
Try it as an eye makeup remover. Works wonders!

Ash says · 02.27.13

I bought the same brand of coconut oil with the intentions of using it on my hair, but found it does not do the job and leaves my hair a greasy mess for days. After doing some online reading, I found that it is strongly not recommended due to it being refined and not organic! Better to spend a little more money on the good stuff than deal with such a hassle!

Reply
suzy homemaker says · 02.26.13

I love coconut oil. The unrefined is a bit healthier to cook with and eat, but it does have more of a coconut taste and smell. It is much cheaper for me to buy it on amazon as well. So anyone scared of the price, you might want to check there.

I just started using coconut oil in my hair 3 weeks ago. Amazing results. I feel like coconut oil is the new ‘it’ thing. But I have found it to work wonders. I even dab a little bit on my fingers and smooth over my dried hair to tame frizzies.

Heidi Reynolds says · 02.26.13

Coconut is a beauty star! You can wash your face w/ lemon & honey and moisturize w/ coconut oil. I prefer to use organic refined and raw for a myriad of things. The healthy saturated fats are great for your brain and mood. I rub it into my hands before bed and sometimes my legs during winter. You can add it to your foods, especially if you are low carbing or paleo eating. You can even rub it on scars to help soften them and reduce the appearance of it. Coconut oil is a God gift for sure. Since you’ve been this brave, let me introduce you to chia gel 🙂

Reply
Carla says · 02.26.13

I have thick, naturally curly, hair that I blow dry straight (wavy….never straight). I have been on the coconut oil bandwagon for about 3 years now and wouldn’t change it for the world. I use it and only it in my hair. No gels, no sprays no nothing. I use it as a deep conditioner every once in a while, but also I use it before blow drying, just on the ends. Just a small amount or it can look greasy. If I get the fly away bits, I just rub a bit in my hands and smooth it over my hair. Works like a charm! It’s a GREAT make up remover too!!! Amazing stuff!!

Reply
Teresa says · 02.26.13

I also have curly hair that I blow dry and then flat iron or use a curling iron. It gets pretty smooth and straight, I think because it’s fairly fine. I very rarely wear it curly, but when I do, I have a “halo” of random fuzzy hairs all around my head. Perhaps the coconut oil will remedy this??

Reply
Carla says · 02.26.13

Hi Teresa, I never wear my hair curly either. I just rub a little (pea size) of the oil between my palms and lightly (barely touching) smooth your hair…if you press too hard I am afraid that it will look greasy. Just lightly smooth down the fly aways. I think you will like it! Good luck.

I feel like I get split ends way too quickly after a hair cut. I do use a lot of heat. I have fine naturally curly hair that I blow dry and flat iron or use a curling iron. I almost never wear it curly – it’s just not me.
Do you think this could help keep my ends from splitting so quickly? How often would you recommend using as a “deep conditioner”?

Thanks for the info. I used it tonight for the first time. I forgot how much you said you use, so I kept slapping more on because it didn’t feel like it was doing much as I was putting it on in the shower. What a mistake! My hair was a GREASE PIT when I attempted to blow dry it. It was disgusting. I immediately jumped right back in the shower and gave it a good shampoo. That, luckily, did the trick. My hair feels super soft and not greasy at all 🙂 Learned my lesson!

As a dietician, a Word of caution to using coconut oil to cook with. This oil has the highest saturated fat content of all oil, higher than even lard or palm oil. The effects of saturated fats are that they raise cholesterol levels; LDL, the bad kind. Eventually this puts you at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases, such as, strokes and heart attacks. So coconut oil for you hair, not on your plate!

Reply
Meredith says · 02.26.13

Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils you can use, and it actually lowers cholesterol.

Reply
Unknown says · 02.26.13

That’s actually not true.
Please refer to this website for a more detailed explanation:
http://www.canolainfo.org

I hope this helps! It’s never a bad thing to do some research before you claim something is good for you 🙂

Reply
Wendy Dry says · 02.27.13

Alternatively, there are sources that show cooking with and consuming coconut oil has vast health benefits, including lowering LDLs (termed “bad” cholesterol). It is equally important to look at the force backing the research, as well as the parameters used to determine if coconut oil is, in fact, “bad” or “good.”

suzy homemaker says · 02.27.13

I have to agree with both Meredith and Wendy. Coconut oil is very healthy. Using a website from the canola organization will of course show a bias against other oils because they want to sell canola oil.

Not only that but all “LDLs” are not bad. There is not just one type of LDL. And coconut oil also raises HDL, the “good” cholesterol.

And since you mentioned you are a dietitian, I should mention that I have a Master’s in Nutrition and I am a CDE. If you are confident in your advice, you should not post as anonymous.

I have combination skin, with occasional break outs. So when I heard that people were having success controlling acne with using coconut oil, I was skeptical. I finely tried it, when I ran out of my regular Cleanser. Let me tell you I will never go back! My skin has never felt softer, looked more even toned, and no acne, or dryness. I wet my face with warm water, rub a little coconut oil in my hands, rub it on my face from the neck up, wet a wash cloth with warm/hot water, hold cloth on face as it cools, and then rinse face while gently patting face with cloth. That’s it! My face is cleansed, and moistureized.

I have been reading up on coconut oil & have just recently started using it. I have & have always had, crazy insanely dry hair. I normally shampoo every other day, sometimes every 3 days depending on how much product I’ve used. So now on the nights before I shampoo, I will massage coconut oil from my scalp to my ends, saturating the ends, heat slightly w/ my blow dryer, wrap my hair up in a warm towel & then sleep in it. Next morning I shampoo (usually twice to make certain there isn’t heavy residue) condition & then style as usual. My hair feels amazing! I have also rubbed just a little bit in my hands & then scrunched into my ends on days when it has been especially cold & blustery outside. Just started using it this week as a nightly moisturizer on my face & it feels so soft! And cooking with it really adds a lot of flavor. So far I am loving it & just found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade body scrub using it, can’t wait to try that!

Coconut oil really does the trick. It’s quite awesome actually. *It also rocks as an eye make up remover. I deep condition with coconut oil, but I leave it on overnight and wash in the morning. I don’t put enough on so it’s dripping, just to coat the hair and ends. Another fantastic product is Jojoba oil. A ‘small’ amount (a drop or two for medium hair) is a wonderful daily conditioner on damp hair before drying and styling. As long as you don’t use too much, it’s not greasy at all.

Hi Kate! I am also a hairstylist (P.S. I LOVE love love your blog) and I have been a HUGE fan of extra virgin olive oil (evoo) on damp towel dried hair, wrap evoo covered hair with plastic wrap (or use a plastic cap) and leave on 1 hour or more, shampoo out 2 times and condition as normal. I’ve been doing evoo treatments on my wavy/curly hair for over 7 years now and my hair is in fantastic shape, I always recommend evoo to my curly hair clients/friends. I will have to try coconut oil as a comparison! Thank you Kate!! Keep up the awesome work!

So interesting that this can be used for hair treatment too. I use coconut oil for face moisturizer. I love it, it makes my skin super soft & smooth. The only down side is that there is no SPF in it, so I have to make sure I either put that on separate before going outside, or that I find a makeup that has it in it. Coconut oil is also great for cooking with, it doesn’t taste anything like coconut and works great in stir-fry or basically anything that EVOO is used.

My mom actually gives me a coconut oil head massage whenever she visits. We actually warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds and it feels so amazing when she massages it in. Leaving it on overnight is the way to go. After I wash my hair the next day, it feels so silky smooth.

Here’s what to do with all the extra coconut oil:
Chocolate Almond Butter Cups:
1/2 c. coconut oil (soften to liquid)
1/2 c. almond butter (or peanut butter if you prefer)
1/2 c. cocoa powder (good quality!)
1/4 c. honey (or agave nectar)
1/2 t. vanilla
Mix it all together. Pour into 12 cupcake liners and refrigerate. They will be about the size of a Reese’s peanut butter cup and are delicious! I like to sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top while they are still “wet.” Mmmm. Sugar-free, gluten-free.

You can get a big organic, container about 5-6 times the size of that one at Costco for about $14. Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils to cook with and has a million and one uses. It’s the best greaser for baking pans when baking anything.

Wow, this got one hell of a response!

I feel inclined to point out that unrefined, raw, cold pressed coconut oil is basically the bees knees (do bed REALLY have knees? I digress) and the quality difference is pretty amazing. I love that stuff…use it for a bajillion things.
I also feel inclined to point out that, though FABULOUS for your skin, it will have a tendency to open your pores quite a bit over time…so using it as a facial moisturizer is the one thing I don’t do.
I second the chia gel suggestion as well….chia is another god send!

Sarah says · 02.27.13

my hair has been really dry this past winter so i’ll have to try this!
i was recently reading on another blog that the reason that coconut oil is so moisturizing compared to other oils is because it has the smallest molecule structure, so it can be more readily absorbed.
i’ve heard lots of rave reviews about using it to shave your legs too-no need for lotion after the shower!

I tried it this morning and followed your directions…..and my hair came out a greasy mess. Maybe it’s because I live above 7000ft (we blame everything on altitude up here)? But I had to shampoo it a few times to finally get the greasiness to go away. I suppose it’s a little softer now…

I have a lot of dark thick hair so maybe my hair type isn’t right for this treatment? I rinsed it really good after I left it in but no matter what I did it still didn’t feel right. Dried it and realized I had to get back in the shower 🙁 But it’s better now. I was starting to panic a bit at first!

I JUST got out of the shower and (sorta) finished blowdrying my hair…It never got fully dry, and while it does feel incredibly soft, it does feel kind of greasy as well. I’m going to see how it looks in the morning, if it’s still greasy, thank goodness for ponytail holders!

I ended up with greasy, sticky globs of hair that even a pony tail wouldn’t save.

I stay away from Pinterest or blog inspired hair treatments- especially those that use oil. But because you are a hair stylist, I tried yours, and unfortunately, was very disappointed.

I tried this this morning (brought the iPad into the bathroom to double check the steps before I did it) but OMG it’s left my hair greasy and stringy. I didn’t condition afterwards becasue I was worried about build up, but what should I do now? No time at the moment to re-wash, it will have to wait for this evening, but do you think just keep shampooing it, or is there something that will work better to remove the grease? Also, should I be worried about build up? Oh no!!!

Family Stew- baby powder, corn starch or flour. Put it in a little at a time and brush through it. It doesn’t totally remove the grease, but it helped enough me for to look decent and go to work. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tips, Brooke. A pony-tail didn’t help me today either (it was a slick tail!) I had to wear a hat and a tight nape of the neck bun – LOL! I have recovered now though I bought Neutrogena Anti-Residue shampoo and washed it a few times when I got back home and it seems to have recovered!

Kate, when you said “rinse and condition” did you mean “shampoo and condition”? That’s the only thing I could think of that I did wrong, was I just rinsed the coconut oil as best I could (didn’t use shampoo) and didn’t condition because it seemed so slick already. I might try this again one day and just shampoo after the coconut oil treatment.

Kate says · 03.01.13

Nope, I meant rinse and condition. If you still feel a lot of oil on your hair after rinsing, shampoo it and skip conditioner

Please use caution before putting CO on your face!

My skin broke out in places I had NEVER broken out and now I’ve turned to Retin-A to try to clear it up. Not to mention the scarring. So, not a great facial moisturizer for sure!

I am not a hair stylist, but a solution for those with really greasy hair could be washing with dawn. The original blue dawn. I have also read it could be used to get rid of residue. I think I read the original is the safest.

Of course, be cautious with this remedy as well in case of reaction.

I saw all these posts before I decided to use the CO – and here is what I did….I don’t know if this will work for some of you but for me it worked:

I used a small amount of the coconut oil as soon as I got in the shower – before I shampoo’d or conditioned. I have hair that is about 2-3 inches below my shoulders. Rubbed in a small quarter or less sized amount from chin length down. Showered as normal (washed my face, body, etc) then I shampoo’d really well and made sure to lather really well. Then I conditioned my hair after washing out my shampoo (I honestly use just a basic Aveeno shampoo because I have sensitive skin) and it seemed to work really really well for me.

My only thought was maybe the amounts were off because everyone’s hair is different in length, thickness.

I used the coconut oil for my dog’s coat and realized this initially when bathing him – a little bit goes a loooooong way – he turned into a greasy mess while trying to help his dry skin and his doggie shampoo helped him but by the time I got around to showering – I realized using a teensy amount was probably better for me.

Hope this helps some of you.

ps. Neutrogena’s anti-residue shampoo works wonders – smells terrible but works fantastic – used it several times when I’ve had to get out mass amounts of hair spray after prom, etc.

I think what people forget is this is like lard! But as soon as you grab a lump of it it begins to melt. The melt point is 76 degree’s. As long as you wash or rinse your your hair with very hot water it should desolve quite readily! But if you use cold water then you may be in trouble because it will stiffen back up! Then you may have problems because you didn’t rinse it thoroughly enough with hot water only.

I don’t use it in my hair I use it for cooking and eating to lose weight 3-4 tbsp per day! And i am diabetic so it does wonders for my blood sugar level as well. I also use it on my skin sores ordry spots or on my legs or feet this stuff is too simple for most people to believe but it has been like a miracle to me. There is a book called the coconut oil miracle but there is free info too just google it!

Ms E says · 03.03.13

Ladies, here is what I do when I give my hair a coconut oil treatment. I have no issues at all when using this method, and I highly recommend it!

First, start with organic unrefined coconut oil, I use Trader Joe’s brand as of right now. You only need enough to cover the hair, it doesn’t need to be soaked down or dripping. It will warm with the heat of your hands, so you don’t have to heat it up unless you want to. Once applied, I usually clip it up and cover with a plastic cap if available, if not you can wrap in a towel if you wish or just leave as is. I prefer to cover it, as I am quite clumsy and would probably have oil everywhere if I don’t. 🙂

Next, you can heat with a blowdryer or just let the heat from your scalp do the work, it’s completely optional. You can leave it on for anywhere from 20-30 mins as a quick treatment, to a few hours or even overnight to really let it sink in. If you prefer to leave it overnight, you may want to place a towel over your pillow to avoid a big mess.

Now here is the most important part of the whole deal: *DO NOT WET YOUR HAIR BEFORE SHAMPOOING!!!!* If you think about it, it makes perfect sense.. oil and water do not mix! Apply shampoo to your hair before you wet it, work it in the best you can, then you can wet it and lather it. If needed after rinsing, you may shampoo once more. Then, you can condition as normal, if you wish.

This is an amazing treatment, I highly recommend it. Following this method, I’ve never had a problem with leftover oil or residue, or greasy hair after drying. Give it a shot, I hope you all love it too! 🙂

Kate, I am a total advocate of coconut oil, both on the outside and the inside of the body. First, coconut oil isn’t fully legit unless is actually smells like coconuts. Organic and virgin it should be. Any other kind like refined has been modified and lacks it’s beneficial nutrients. Do you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you? They have the best kind, Nutiva, and have all different sizes. When my hair was long last year, I used the coconut oil on my hair while it was dry and only on my ends. Since coconut oil is an oil, I found that the water and oil did not mix well. My thought was that since the hair was already wet, the strands weren’t absorbing the oil. So I put it on my ends for about 20 mins, sometimes longer and tied it in a bun on the back of my hair. Then I shampooed and conditioned like normal. I did that about once or twice a week. You definitely don’t need a ton, it depends on your hair type and length. Lastly, use it as a body moisturizer just like lotion and add some to your morning smoothie. Also you can cook with it since it can heat to a higher temp. Olive oil shouldn’t be used as a cooking oil when heated to high temps because it omits some toxins. Anyway, i hope you find this helpful since I’m always finding your tips helpful! For once, I can contribute 🙂
Oh one more thing….when you have an oily scalp, use half water and half Apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on just your scalp and leave for 20 mins. Takes away all the gunk in no time and doesn’t mess with color or the rest of your hair! Do try 🙂

KDmae says · 03.12.13

Like some of the others, my hair was quite greasy and stringy after using the coconut oil. I had to jump right back into the shower. To get it out, I highly recommend using Dawn dish soap as some of you suggested. I’ve been using it for over 10 years and it’s always been my go-to product to get out all the build-up and hair spray from my hair. (It definitely came in handy after prom and the weddings I’ve been in). I only put it in my hair once every 2-3 weeks.

After I used the dish soap to get out the coconut oil, I shampooed and conditioned like usual. When I went to blow-dry, my hair was a little softer, but I don’t know if that’s from the coconut oil or my new conditioner.

I’m not giving up on coconut oil just yet. Perhaps if I melt it in the microwave then leave it in my hair wrapped in a towel for an hour, maybe that will work. But we’ll see. That jar of coconut oil cost me five bucks, I’m not letting it go to waste. 😛

NannerBananer says · 03.15.13

I tried this morning and am having some minor issues as well. I think I’ll be putting the mane into a ponytail before lunch. BUT my ends do feel softer!!

I have thick brunette hair, so I used a smidge more than the tablespoon Kate mentioned. I shampoo’d and left it on for 5 or so minutes in the shower while I shaved. I rinsed as best as I could and then conditioned as normal.

I think next time I’ll try to do the coconut oil after I wet my hair…before shampooing. That way I can give my scalp a good suds & rub down. The area right at the back of my head is where i’m having “oily” feelings. Also, since I have layered long hair, I applied from the chin down. Maybe next time i’ll try to concentrate more on just just ends as best as possible. We all know it wicks up a bit anyway.

Overall, i’m not giving up on it. My ends do feel softer. I think everyone might just need to tweak it for themselves. Worse case scenario, make it a messy bun day!!!

I use this too! You can add it to about anything from lip scrubs to hair masks. I also enjoy camellia oil, which removes make-up even better and washes off without residue.I always avoid any type of oil for my skin and hair as I worry it will make me either break out or look like I washed my hair in chip fat! I might have to give this a try though, I like the sound of it for hair!

Acne is a skin Acne treatment disease that involves the oil glands found at the base of hair follicles. These glands come to life during puberty due to both male and female hormones produced at that time. Because of these hormones, this is the time acne usually occurs.

Acne occurs when the oil glands at the base of hair follicles get blocked and oil accumulates under the skin. Acne isn’t medically dangerous, but it can be frustrating and embarrassing, especially for teens. It is estimated that nearly ¾ of the population between 11 and 30 will get acne. When acne flares up, it usually occurs on the face, but often can be found on the back, chest, shoulders and neck.

ANYWAY, should I still try using coconut oil to repair my hair from this mystery damaging situation?
