Anyone have any good suggestions on how to remove coconut oil from your hair. I kinda put a tad too much and it sucks. I've had 3 showers already and cant seem to rise it all out. any suggestions?:)

Was it pure coconut oil? or was it a "coconut oil product"? (ETA a product that contains coconut oil might contain other hard-to-remove stuff such as petrolatum.) A good lather with a sulfate shampoo really SHOULD get it out, namely any shampoo from a drugstore. I don't see why it shouldn't work. I used 2 tablespoons of coconut oil per wash for 4+ months.

Your hair is also very very long. If you put too much coconut oil in the entire length, then of course you'll have to lather up all of it. Yeah, and there's the "never shampoo your length", but just this once

Good luck

Yowza! I think you'll have to get a cheap drugstore shampoo and then wash the entire length, just this once. Best wishes to you and your long tresses.
