Reply With QuoteI apply coconut oil to the length of my hair, comb it out, plait it and then wash it out a couple of hours later. Sometimes I leave it in overnight and I also cook with it.
I use coconut oil everywhere: hair, lips, hands, face, legs. It's quite the all purpose moisturizer.
I haven't gotten around to eating it, though. I haven't found a way to incorporate it into my diet. Maybe I'll put it in my oatmeal.

I apply it to fairly wet hair, comb through, plait, and then pin it up and leave it. I try to do this for 24 hrs minimum. I use quite a lot too, by hair seems to soak it up.
I like it for knees and elbows too.
Stephanie.....my sister has been taking it it porridge almost every day and has lost i think 3 dress sizes, but she's definately alot slimmer than before. Unfortunately i don't really like porridge so the only way i gret to eat it is in curries.....but i'm hoping to find a way to eat it daily, it's apparently good for diabetes too and boosts the immune system and healing rate, both of which i could do with.

Coconut oil is made up of MCTs- medium chain triglycerides. For the first week or so of regular consumption, your body *does* process them slightly differently than other fats/oils and there is a small metabolic increase. Your body adjusts after about a week however and there is no more actual boost.Originally Posted by Stephanie
Still, if you were short on healthy fats to begin with, it will still help you that way.
I apply to damp hair after a wash, leave it there until my next shampoo.
I eat a tablespoon on toast with a little sugar, its the only way I can stand to eat it. I have since run out and need to get a new jar, I noticed that I was never sick, while taking it, but once I stopped I did get sick, so I must get back to eating it every day.
Its great in a lot of foods Jacket potatoes, mixed in veg, as a spread on toast/bread, in smoothies you can put it in anything some eat it straight off the spoon!

I usually use it to take off makeup at night. Sometimes I use it in my hair to detangle. Sometimes I use a lot of it in my hair as a pre-wash treatment. I tried it as leave-in but it was either not effective or made my hair look oily. I couldn't seem to find a middle ground there. But I love the stuff and always have it on hand since first trying it about a year and a half ago.

I use it as a leave in applied to wet hair. I warm a tiny bit in my hands and apply it by smoothing it on to my wet hair concentrating on the last few inches of hair. I also use it on my hands, elbows, and feet. At night I use it as an overnight eye oil. Someone over at TBB said it helped with her dark circles and I'll try anything to diminish mine.
