In conclusion coconut oil is the Bomb.com and if you do not have some I suggest you get you some! Unless you are allergic. Coconut oil is great for almost all hair types but those who have less dense hair textures will enjoy the lightweight and shine that you receive from coconut oil. My only concern is if you live in cooler climates be wary because too much coconut oil on your hair and it can harden and become stiff. The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. Early Spanish explorers called it coco, which means "monkey face" because the three indentations (eyes) on the hairy nut resembles the head and face of a monkey. Nucifera means "nut-bearing." Coconut oil has so many other great benefits for us outside of just for use in our hair! I would highly advise research in it if you are interested. Coconut oil has been known to kill Parasites, viruses, bacteria and promote clear skin from the inside out.
