I bought some virgin coconut oil, it smells beautiful but is very greasy!
I have been using it on my body, it does sink in nicely, I have also used it on my neck but wasn't game enough to use it on my face!
I couldn't get it in the supermarkets or chemists (I am in Australia) so got it at the health shop but it was $30.00!! |

| I use it all over my body and hair also. If you use it on your hair you need to wash twice but just a small amount of shampoo on 2nd wash. Really repairs split ends. |

gretchen there is no way to repair split ends in hair once they occur. No product can glue back the ripped out cuticle or exploded cortex, although some products can mask the appearance of split ends. But IMO the best solution is cutting them off before they wreck havoc on more length of your hair. Regular dusting of ends ensures that the normal wear and tear that makes split ends inevitable doesn't get so bad that you lose length to breakage.
skincarecat extra virgin coconut oil is what I use as my body moisturizer. I don't use it on my face because cleansing my face with extra virgin olive oil seems to be sufficient enough for my face not to need another moisturizer.
Here's more info on why coconut oil is one of the best moisturizers you could use for your skin: http://www.coconut-connections.com/skin_care.htm |

yes, you can apply coconut oil to your skin after CPs no problem.. however, it will intensify their effect. (Oil before CPs dilutes the potency, Oil after CPs pushes it deeper into the skin).
I wish I could use coconut oil... makes my skin itch like crazy!! |

I've used virgin coconut oil on my hair for about 20 years. I have long thick hair and I find this works like a leave in conditioner, but is not heavy and provides it with a gorgeous shine. I live is Australia too and purchase mine at the health food store. It lasts about 6 months for 500ml and costs about $10 - 15. It's Like what Moroccan oil does, but this is cheaper.

Haha Firefox7275, my cat does this too, he absolutely loves it. He found out how to take the lid off the container and sticks his little paw in there and scoops it out. Every now and again as a special treat(because it's very fatty) I'll rub a little on his fur for him, he just loves it.  |
