I think I'm going to try this with a nice hefty oil shampoo, maybe 3:1 oil:shampoo. The sls in the shampoo should make the hair more "available" to the coconut oil - let it sit then follow with a very dilute shampoo rinse, or a lighter oil shampoo. Any thoughts?

It might be a bit of a overdose of coconut oil and shampoo; the lankness of too much coconut oil, and the dryness of too much shampoo. Fingers crossed that won't happen, but keep an eye. Incidentally, before starting oil shampoo it's helpful to clarify so the oil doesn't just stay on the surface of the hair; so if you did that, you'd be using shampoo three times in one wash... That sounds a lot like it might have the opposite effect than the one you're going for.
