I have virgin coconut oil and I was wondering what the benefits are? :) I wanted to make some hair and face masks with it! I also have castor oil which I know can mix with it for hair masks, can I get some specific instructions. :)

Coconut oil can be pore clogging, you can use it as an eye makeup remover though. Definitely a hair mask, it works wonders for your hair. I mix three spoonfuls of coconut oil in with one spoonful of water, one spoonful of tea tree oil, two spoonfuls of olive oil, and a few drops of sandalwood oil. It seems like a lot but I have a lot of hair lol. I make sure to warm up my coconut oil in a bowl with boiling water in a pan. Then mix everything together, apply is to my hair, shower cap and I leave it on my hair for an hour, sometimes longer. It makes my hair feel and look so amazing.

It did wonders to my hair! I just put it on, wrap it in a bandana and sleep with it in!
