So I just bought this coconut oil originally for tanning purposes but I read on the back that you can use it in your hair. It's pure coconut oil, and I was wondering how often I should use it in a week? Because I hear it's great for you hair. Thanks :)

I would say to use it when ever you DEEP condition your hair which would probably be about 1 once a week depending on your hair type :)

You wouldnt want to use it everyday bc it can give your hair that weighed down, greasy feel.

@Iysia thanks so
Much for the help, I'll definitely be doing the deep conditioning tonight with it :)
@ jewel thanks! A teaspoon it is then, I have naturally curlyish hair too and it gets real frizzy. But thanks again  :)

Just be careful if you live in a climate that isn't always warm. Coconut oil is solid in colder temperatures and can clog pipes and be very expensive to fix.


Living in Canada I only ever use it in the summer when I can wash my hair outdoors with the hose. I had a clogged sink due to coconut oil and it got very expensive.

Also, it's best to use it after using a moisturizing mask. Coconut oil has no moisturizing properties but it is a sealant so it seals in moisture, but the moisture has to be there for it to be effective.

I use coconut oil every day as a serum, I use about the size of a pea melted between my palms (:
