Melted coconut oil, first sign of summer Solid coconut oil is the first sign of winter
I keep my bigger jar in the fridge... or a cool cabinet in the kitchen (where it is right now actually), and move some into a smaller container for daily use.
My oil is actually the Parachute one. Hmmmm.....
No. To make it liquid, I just put it into a wash basin with warm water. But I think the effect is the same. I made the whole bottle liqiud few times. Next time I will buy coconut oil in a jar. It will be easier to use it, I will be able to take the accurate amount on my fingers instead of warming up the whole bottle.
If you mean the thing that my dad is keep telling me, that blonde is not a haircolour, it's a way your brain/heart works- yes. Totally

I didn't want to create yet another thread about coconut oil so I guess I'll hijack this one Every coconut oil sold here is liquid all the time. They never solidify, even in the fridge. I really want to try coconut oil so I wonder if there's a difference between the two types...?
Sorry for the hijack

Domino, check this thread out.
Been there done that I posted a thread about this "always liquid" coconut oil and people said what we have here is probably coconut oil in refined and processed form. That's probably because people here use coconut oil for aromatherapy & massage and not for eating. When you'll do massage, you'd want a liquid oil to make it easier to use and wash out
But that kind of oil might not have all the benefits of non-processed solid type. It surely wouldn't hurt to use liquid oil till we find the solid one
ETA: Madame J, thanks a lot for the link!

Madame J, thanks so much for the link! That explains it...now if only I could find some solid coconut oil around here...
Dreams_in_Pink, I knew you'd chime in and you're very helpful as always I want to try that liquid coconut oil now to see if it's any good

Assuming you are referring to Fractionated coconut oil I use it as a massage oil with some EOs for a scalp treatment. The advantage of the Fractionated Coconut oil is that it will be absorbed into your scalp rather quickly which would be nice if you will be sleeping with it; other types of coconut oil has a better effect on the hair itself.
Some additional advantages:
# 1. Liquid down to very low temperatures.
# 2. Because its has no double bonds, there are no sites for oxidation and thus never goes rancid. The oil has essentially an infinite shelf life.
# 3. Because its consists completely of saturated fatty acid side chains its more like animal fat and absorbs more readily into the skin making it ideal for massage therapy.
# 4. Washes out of your massage table sheets very easily with no staining.
# 5. An ideal product for natural perfumers who don't want to use alcohol as a carrier. Because its the lightest of all the carrier oils, it will spray through a pump sprayer with ease. This is also makes it handy for massage therapists as they can spray their massage blends using FC right on the customer.
# 6. Leaves your skin feeling silky smooth without that greasy feeling.
# 7. Cost effective,one of least expensive carrier oils.
# 8. Completely soluble with all essential oils and compatible with soaps.
