Coconut oil earns its reputation on one property. It is small enough to move into the hair shaft rather than sit on it, and hair oiled with coconut before a wash loses less protein during that wash. That is the reason a pre-poo works at all, and it is why coconut turns up in more Indian hair routines than any other oil. Vatika's enriched version is 200 ml of that idea, with botanicals added and a lighter feel than solid virgin coconut oil, which seizes up in a British winter and has to be melted before it goes anywhere near hair.

Use it before you wash, not after. Twenty minutes on dry hair, longer if you have the time, then shampoo. Hair comes out feeling denser and less porous, and holds moisture better through the week. Fine hair should keep it to the mid-lengths and ends. Coarser textures can take it right up to the scalp.

Application tips

Cold weather thickens it, so stand the bottle somewhere warm for a few minutes before you start rather than fighting a solid oil.

Apply to dry hair before washing, ends first, roots last, and leave it as long as your morning allows. The first shampoo afterwards will barely lather because there is oil in the way. Go again and it will.

Results

Coconut works because it moves into the strand instead of lying across it, which is why an oiling before the wash leaves hair thicker to the touch and less thirsty afterwards.

Moisture holds for longer through the week and the ends stop feeling papery. The enriched version stays pourable in a cold house, where the solid kind sets hard in the jar. Coarse and coily hair takes the most.

Composition

Coconut Oil
Moves into the strand rather than sitting on it, so hair holds moisture
