Oiling your scalp daily challenge 2012

This is one of the best oils you can invest in as far as hair benefits and price. You get the most benefits from coconut oil that is cold pressed and virgin when you buy it. Therefore purchasing your coconut oil from a healthfood store is much more beneficial than getting it from the grocery store. The oil you buy in the grocery store is sold with the intentions that it will be heated and used in food, so it does not contain many of the benefits you need for applying tropically. Most of the CO I have seen in the non healthfood store is refined, for your hair and body you want to purchase unrefined coconut oil. Get the best for your money. Not all oils are created equal.

Coconut oil smooths the hair  cuticle and strengthens the hairshaft.
It cleans the bad oils from your hair follicles.
If your hair is fine and tightly coily it is best to use CO as a pre treatment before you wash your hair.
Why? To protect your hair from breakage during the wash process and help with your hair elasticity.

The best thing about CO is that it can help you achieve better sebum production.

Massage CO into your scalp for 3 days straight and then stop for two days, repeat this rotation for a month, and you will see that your hair stays moisturized better and much longer. This is because the coconut oil and the massage motion has stimulated your sebum production and caused you to produce more sebum. The more sebum you produce the better your hair grows.

Well the kitchen oils are better than no oil, it took me a while to get my stash up, they can be expensive, but worth it. Now I still purchase olive oil from the grocery store but that is the only one,the rest I order or pick up at the health food store. Make a list of the oils you desire and just add one or two each month....At one point olive oil did me the same way, your hair has to already have moisture in it before you apply the oil. So if your hair is dry, there is a good possibility that the oil will make your hair more dry. Have you figured your hairs porosity? Are you normal, overly or under? No other technique works well until the porous issues are corrected.
