I`m not sure what hair type you are, but I`m wondering if you might benefit from using Jojoba in your hair.
I have hair which tends to become dry when using the wrong products, so I have used the Olive oil treatment, then later switched to Monoi Oil. While the Monoi smelled absolutely wonderful, but because I oil on an almost daily basis, I found the Monoi to dry out my hair.
I began using 100% jojoba oil (make certain the label states that it contains ONLY 100% jojoba and not other ingredients.) 100% Jojoba is not scented, so if you have one that smells good, you do not have pure jojoba.
My hair has never been in better condition. I simply coat my hands with it and sort of "pet" the length of my hair, brush out the tangles and put it up into a bun. I even use it before showering simply as a detangling assistant, less stress on the hair.
If you don`t plan on going into public, you can heavily oil your hair, or go lighter. It is not really necessary to get the oil on every inch of your hair, but try to focus on the length and the ends.
You can leave the Jojoba in your hair and it is not necessary at all to wash it out unless you are going out or require a clean hair look. I think I am at an advantage because I am a stay-at-home Mom, so I can wear my well protected, heavily oiled hair quite often. However, even if I worked outside the home, I would still wear Jojoba in my hair, just not as much, and not showing. This is where buns come in handy.

I moved to AK about 4 years ago from the humid south and the dry air here would only allow me to grow split ends where none had been before. Through trial and error (oh, so many errors) I think I might of stumbled on to something. African American hair can be dry and prone to breakage so I tried out products especially for their hair needs even though I am Caucasian. Well, much of the stuff was a wee bit to heavy. However I found something in that hair care section of WalMart of all places. It`s Hollywood Beauty(I know, cheesy name) Olive Oil. These are the ingredients listed by order: Soybean Oil, Olive Oil, Vitamin E, Chamomile, Calendula Extract, Macadamian Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, and some scientific stuff that isn`t alcohol, silicone, nor a sulfate. It is light enough to be able to put in your dry hair from the ears down and not look too oily. However, I do have medium thick wavy hair and it is prone to dry out in this arid climate.
Where did you buy the coconut oil? I'd like to mix it with conditioner and see what happens.
sorry for not replyin to ur question for so long!!
i brought it from superdrug in the UK, it was superdrug`s own brand, and was about 2 pounds i think.... cant remember, but it wasnt of a liquid substance, it was solid.....
but onhce u get a bit of it in ur hands, and then rub a little, the heat of ur hands warms up the coconut and liquidifies it...
which is what i did, i warm it up til it was a liquid and then mixed it in with the conditioning thingies...
BUT, it did take me a while to find the conditioning oil..... but they are widely available at all afro carribean hair salons.
