So I used the product (in the title) and I rinsed it out. I've heard a lot of good reviews on it. But my hair was left so GREASY. I've washed it three times after with clarifying shampoo and about to blow dry it again (for the third time) to flat iron it. Does anyone else have this issue?! I used it once for less that two minutes and rinsed with HOT water. I'm so confused. As of now I'm never using it again.

Coconut oil is a heavy oil and is thicker than most, and I've had this happen to me before too! its frustrating. I found that melting it and mixing it with a few drops of almond (or another such liquid-like oil) it becomes easier to wash out :) (note when melting oils don't put it over direct heat, instead place the container in a bowl of boiled water and the heat from the water will melt the oil) I hope this helps! Good luck :)

Nala. My hair is thick curly but very fine so I should probably use less.

I hate my hair lol

I actually whip my coconut oil into a fluffy consistency then apply. But you should have left it on for longer than 2 minutes to give it a chance to absorb.

Oh alright. I'll have to redo it. I was just nervous it would get greasy haha.

No. Lol you have to actually let it absorb and if you whip it, you won't have to use as much. I use this recipe by beautysplurge on YouTube. But leave it on for at least 15-30 minutes. Then rinse with cool water to seal the moisture in and help close your hair cuticles.

I mix it in with my conditioner. You still get all the benefits of the oil but it's easier to rinse out.
