I have used my virgin coconut oil a few different ways:- On damp hair right after a wash to seal in the moisture
- On my water-misted hair with a plastic cap to "marinate" overnight (I just rinse out)
- Melted with shea butter and Vitamin E oil - cool and use as a scalp soother
- On my skin after dabbing with my bath towel out of the shower (very moisturized w/o feeling all greased up) - it smells so yummy too. Really good for elbows, knees, and feet.
I have used a couple of the cheaper coconut oils in the grocery store (LouAna and an East Indian brand). They're OK, but I find that the virgin coconut oil melts easier, smells best and doesn't feel waxy, so that's my personal preference. HTH....
