I'm glad it worked for you as a conditioner - haven't tried coconut water but my coconut cream experiment was so successful my hairdresser actually commented on how soft my hair was!

But thanks for posting the nutritional links. This is because I seem to be addicted to the stuff (to drink, not to put on hair ) so it's nice to know it's full of nutrients.

I have never tried coconut juice on my hair or as a drink. I am definitely interested.

The text I put in bold is fascinating to me. The information is actually in the first link in this thread, but I missed it. I wanted more details when I found the information with further reading, on my own.

"Coconut Water: .... the watery fluid contained within immature nuts. .... 5-month old nut will yield about two glassfuls. .... is clear, colorless and contains about two tablespoons of sugar along with vitamins and minerals. It is so pure and sterile that in World War II both American and Japanese doctors found that in emergencies they could use the coconut water in place of sterile glucose for I.V. solutions. ....

It is still used for that when needed in certain countries.

"Medical resources routinely used for intravenous hydration .... resuscitation of critically ill patients .... limited in remote regions of the world. .... faced with these shortages, physicians have had to improvise with the available resources .... We report the successful use of coconut water as a short-term intravenous hydration ...."
