Coconut oil has not been THE ANSWER to my damaged hair woes. But I like it and it has helped a bit during the colder months when my hair feels the most dry, or if I have been doing a lot of swimming. I normally use it right after or before a trim (no reason for both, really, I just do these things when I realize my hair needs help!). I heat it, brush enough in just a little, leave it for an hour and wash. I also rub a bit into my skin, and it makes it feel very soft. I occasionally cook with the oil and put it into southeast Asian style dishes. I have been experimenting with it in baked goods. I'm not a good baker, though, so I'd like to hear from someone who is and has tried it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832921371623481430.post-49056230052947149872008-07-23T21:42:00.000-04:002008-07-23T21:42:00.000-04:00@Jennifer I am sorry but I have never worn braids....@Jennifer I am sorry but I have never worn braids. ( My mom used to braid my hair when I was a little girl but I have not worn braids since). <BR/>I know while you have your briads in you will need to still moisturize your hair. The coconut oil can seal in the moisture. Also be careful not to put on too much oil or it will become a greasy mess.<BR/>maybe a good moisturizer could be pure aloe vera juice mixed with rose water. This is basically a moisturizer that Tracyee of KiSS came up with. You can find the link to her hair blog on my blog roll.<BR/>I hope this helps please feel free to write back.<BR/>Product Junkie DivaProduct Junkie Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803316091567705820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832921371623481430.post-19412396214853628352008-07-21T14:23:00.000-04:002008-07-21T14:23:00.000-04:00Hi,Have you ever used the coconut oil while wearin...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Have you ever used the coconut oil while wearing braids.
