Hi there!! Ok I left a post in the newbe section but I am not sure how many responses I will get in there. Today I am getting my coconut oil and I am wondering if I will need to clarify my hair in order for the oil to penitrate?? Last week I did a clarifying and my hair was extremely dry and brittle afterwards, my hair was recently destroyed. I have cut alot of layers in my hair and have been with help of LHC treating and restoring my hair. The hair is still pretty weak in a few areas. It took a few days of leaving Africas Best in my hair (wet look) and yesterday i did wash and condition my hair with pantene. If I only wash and conditioned one time with the cones since my clarify is there still too much cone build up for the coconut oil to seep into my hair?? Thank you guys so much, you are a blessing, and I am excited to see the future of my hair through all of the information in this site!!!
