QuoteReplyTopic: Coconut Oil Posted: May 17 2005 at 4:59pm
I was just wondering if anyone regularly (as in almost every day) uses
a solidified form of coconut oil (plus several other products mentioned
below) on their scalp before washing, or any other form of oil on a
regular basis on their scalp? I take about 1 tbsp., liquify it in
my hands and then massage it into my scalp and hair before washing
every day. Without doing this, my hair just seems to not have as
much luster or be as manageable.
I purchase it for just a couple of dollars (it's called Super Gro,
comes in a small tub, and has Vitamin E, Sage, Sulphur, Coconut Oil,
Sesame Seed Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Soybean Oil and collagen). Just
curious if anyone has a similar routine or uses a similar product?

It sounds as if there are not a whole lot of people who like to use
this. I also received similar responses with others I've asked,
so I think I will cut back on the amount I use, and maybe use a lighter
shampoo (the one I use is fairly strong and removes a lot of natural
oils).
I'm not sure what the sulphur and the collagen do in it, but if it
works for your hair type, I'd stick with it. The rest of the
ingredients sound just fine for hair. We've all got different
hair and yours just may like this product better than most peoples do.

Kris - have you considered diluting your shampoo? I do, with
beneficial results. My scalp has been "trained" to put out less
oil, and I only wash once a week. I put about 1/2 ounce of
shampoo in a clear or translucent plastic bottle (an empty shampoo
bottle ) and add 5-6 ounces of warm water, stirred - not shaken (unlike
James Bond's martinis). Apply the diluted shampoo mix to the
scalp and massage 'til sudsy.
