How To Make Coconut Oil For Hair Use

Coconut oil continues to take over the world full force, so it's time to embrace this magical product if you haven't already. If you're still unsure how to make coconut oil for hair use, have no worries at all. It's so much easier than you think!

In case you've never used coconut oil for your hair, the most popular way also happens to be the easiest. For the most wonderfully cheap DIY deep conditioning hair mask, all you have to do is literally take a large spoonful of softened coconut oil (you can melt coconut oil lightly over your stove or in the microwave) and rub it through your hair until it's completely coated. Then, cover your hair with a shower mask and leave the coconut oil in it for anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour. Head to the shower after to rinse it all out with shampoo. Once your hair dries, you'll notice how much more hydrated it is.

If the idea of directly covering all of your hair in coconut oil is intimidating though, no worries. I was skeptical at first, and decided to ease my way in by using hair products with coconut oil in them. But once I realized the coconut oil made my hair soft instead of greasy, I went all in!

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, $26, Amazon

Below are some of my favorite products infused with the dream oil. Once you've gotten your feet wet (or should I say, hair wet) and feel more comfortable with the product, I encourage you to take the full, all-natural coconut oil plunge. You won't regret it!
