A 150ml/5.07 oz bottle of pure coconut oil, which is either the most useful thing in your cupboard or completely wrong for your hair. There is not much middle ground.

The reason for that split is lauric acid. Coconut oil is unusually high in it, and lauric acid has a small, straight molecular shape that lets it move into the hair shaft rather than resting on the surface. For most people that means genuinely less protein loss during washing. For a minority, particularly those with protein-sensitive or high porosity hair, the same property makes hair feel stiff and straw-like after a few uses.

  • Pre-wash treatment that reduces damage during shampooing
  • Body oil for dry skin, used straight from the bottle
  • Sealing oil on damp ends for textures that tolerate it
  • Melts on contact, so warm it in the palms first

Tagged for 2a through 4a. Try it as a pre-wash before you commit to it as a leave-in, and give it three or four uses before deciding.

Application tips

Run a pre-wash trial before you trust it anywhere else. Melt a spoonful between your hands, coat everything from the ears down, then add a trace at the scalp if the skin feels dry.

Twenty minutes will do. Wash it out and judge the hair once it has dried fully. Soft and springy means you can move on to a few drops on damp ends.

Stiff and squeaky means stop at pre-wash.

Results

Hair comes out of the wash feeling stronger and less roughed up, and over a few weeks the ends look less frayed. Shine improves. Dry skin takes it well, and it is thick enough to work as a body oil on legs after a bath.

The split reaction is real though. If your hair reads as protein-sensitive, this is the oil most likely to leave it feeling like straw.
