Coconut oil is very excellent for the hair. Of course, it helps to know how to use it for your purposes. Sometimes, the key is to not leave certain things on the skin or hair, all the time. I have used several oils for body care. I really like them all in different ways, but my favorite "lotion" oil is two cooking oils (coconut & mostly almond) mixed with a few drops of essential oil. It disappears right into my skin and my skin is literally almost as soft as a baby's and not at all greasy, though others I have tried might have been greasy. This is one of my favorite types of experimentation. I learned the hard way, for example, that glycerin is only awesome for moisturization if it is used with some kind of water ( I used distilled). My face loves it! This type of experimentation helps me to keep it towards more natural, healthy products. After years of slathering my scaly (yes, it would literally peel of in scale like segments when it got dry, after turning ashy white) skin and hair in chemical potions, I have found that plain old oil and glycerin and stuff works better. I am not bluffing: I have tropical skin and live in a place that can be rather desert-like, so I am a good test subject for certain things. I hope your experience will be healthy and helpful!

PS: Also, consider things like masks and or other treatments that don't necessarily stay on. I heard wonderful things about mustard oil stimulating hair growth, so since I found some extra mustard in the fridge that was going to waste, guess who will be washing her hair with mustard. You betcha!

PSS: I heard great things about egg masks, but I really prefer warm showers and didn't do it right, so then I was washing my hair with omelette! If you try the egg thing, seriously use the cold water. Hahaha!
