Is it best applied to wet, damp, or fry hair?

Dry-NOT fry!

Damp I would guess as I think the cuticle would still be more open and it would penetrate more easily. This is just a guess though.

Absolutely wet/damp hair. about mid way to ends. if you use a shower cap, use it as a conditioner. leave on for 5 minutes.

I've always done it on dry hair. I'm Indian and we've been using coconut oil on hair since forever. It's usually massaged on dry hair. Also my hair is of a thick, med course texture and naturally curly - if I apply it to my hair damp or wet, I use a VERY small amount and it almost acts like a smoothing gel in my hair. But it will get greasy fast.

Thanks for posting! I was wondering myself.

I often use a drop on my dry ends and down the back with my dry and coarse, (but straight 😞)hair. I'll try both methods and report back.

...reread responses and damp hair is the way to go-sorry about that!

Update on coconut oil mask! I guess I went with the "more is better" thinking and had to shampoo my hair twice in a row to get all of the oil out. By then I had of course undone any good the mask might have done! I think in the this case I will stick with store bought masks as much as I like diy ideas!
