I use the coconut oil on my hair for about 30 mins 2-3 times a week and I do notice my hair is softer and shimmer. It feels nice too. I also use coconut oil with a pinch of baking soda for a face wash and I never break out. And it's also good for your skin. Coconut oil is great for waterproof make up too! Take it right off...

Coconut oil is really good, i personally love this stuff, i too have split ends and dry hair and this works wonders! Your hair will be shiny, soft, almost instantly you'll notice your ends are better it also helps your hair grow when you massage into your scalp. Some so everyday but i do 3 times a week. This stuff is also good for your skin, good moisturizer for your face and body, I've heard it's good for stretch marks and skin tightening.. Many other things including great to cook with! You should google the benefits, pretty interesting. Hope this helps!

You can apply it on dry hair. I usually leave it on overnight but you can even keep it on for just a few hours. When you want to take it off just shampoo and condition, like you'd normally do :)
