Tangled matted stiff hair (after coconut) may be the shampoo??
I did a coconut oil treatment (on my hennaed hair).
When I washed it out I used L'Oreal Color vie for Dry and damaged hair.
As soon as I put the shampoo in my hair, I felt my hair become tangled and matted and very stiff. I could not get my hands through it. I rinsed the shampoo out.
I reshampooed with ABBA Moisture sensation shampoo. My hair felt soft and more manageable. I conditioned part of my hair. The part without the conditioner has a few tangles when I run my fingers through the wet hair.
I wonder if it is any of the ingredients in the shampoo, or was it just a coincidence.
My hair when tangled and matted felt the same way after the coconut milk treatment.

For a lot of people, including me, adding water to oiled hair == stiff, matted mess. If I have a lot of coconut oil on my hair, I have to coat it with conditioner before I wet it or I'm in trouble! Next time, try that. Apply lots of conditioner, let it soak for at least 15 min, then shampoo.

Thank you so much for that tip,Velvettt.It's good to know the next time I'm going to wash out my heavy oiling.
I'll second the 'don't add water to oiled hair, start with conditioner' advice.
I don't CO often, since it generally isn't a workable routine for me, but I do CO when I oil my hair, because it's the only thing that removes the excess without any trouble.
I've never had that happen with shampoo. I dilute it and squirt it all over my scalp, then run my fingers over my scalp from forehead or temples back toward nape. Even diluted, it gets the oil out.
I've had my hair matt down with baking soda, though.
Baking soda was a nightmare in my hair to,spidermom.Extremly harsh.
Coconut oil contains protein, (If i'm not mistaken) your hair might not like protein, usually a good indicator of it is dry, matted, super haylike hair. Check your shampoo/condish for protein, with words like, milk, soy protein, egg, hydrolized, silk ect.
My hair will dry out like the saharah and totally nest up if i use too much protein in anything. Might be the case.

Nope, no protein in coconut oil or any other oil. They're 100% fat.
Carina, my hair has an on-again, off-again like/dislike for coconut oil, but I had a very similar disaster with a coconut milk soak - stiff hair until it was finally washed out, which wasn't easy.
Ah - Flaxen beat me to it. I researched it awhile ago. No protein in coconut oil.
