Reddit mentions of Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, 16 fl oz

Sure! I personally use [trader joes] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007UWNBYS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1/176-3360111-0316351?qid=1412091807&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40) coconut oil, but you can also get it cosmetic grade. You'll probably get a number of results if you just search it.

I use it for a great number of things, the main ones being

• a mask for my hair. This usually consists of me microwaving it until it's warm and liquidy, and massaging it into my scalp and bringing it down to the ends. It doesn't need to be soaked in the stuff, just damp. This works best on my hair right from a warm shower, because it will be slightly damp and the hair shaft soaks up the oils better. Try to leave it in for a few hours, or better yet, sleep in it.
  
  
• a moisturizer. My skin is very acne prone, and gets irritated very easily. The oil surprisingly never breaks me out, and leaves my skin baby soft. It's best to do this as a nigh time thing though, because it takes a while to soak in and applying makeup over it is problematic at best.
  
  
• a substitute for shaving cream. The shave is soo close and my legs are like 10x smoother. Seriously you have to try this, softest legs ever.
  
  

PUT OIL IN IT.

I love the SkinFood Argan Oil Silk Hair Mask Pack, but a jar of Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil can be bought locally, does just as good of a job, and is more cost-efficient. I soak my hair in coconut oil and leave it overnight once a week now, and will continue to do so forevermore. It's better than any conditioner I've ever used and makes my hair very soft and shiny. I think the SkinFood mask feels a little more luxurious and is easier to wash off in the morning, but in terms of the long-term condition of my hair, both products do the same thing for me - plus, coconut oil can be used for a lot of other things, too: as a shaving gel, as a skin conditioner, and eating 2tbsp./day is so very, very good for you.

this is the brand I use

Let me start by saying, I don't have a background in hair. If anyone has professional experience and frowns upon my products- share what you know. I wish I could teach you how I do it, Bacon but even though I can't- I can share my products!

-I have the first generation of this hair dryer (The key to a hair dryer is the nozzle that directs the heat at the end) You can probably use any brand that you have already or prefer as long as you have that attachment

-Ceramic core natural bristle hair brush, I have had mine for so long that they no longer sell it but this one is very similar.

-Blow dry clips to separate hair out into four sections while wet (You can probably make more sections if you would prefer it. I just use the same 4 clips because I only bought one packet) Any clips will work, honestly.

-Bed Head Volumizing Cream

- Sun Bum Heat Protector

I do a deep conditioning mask every other week to keep it healthy and don't use bleachy hair dye because my hair is dark and I'm not adventurous enough to bother. You can use any deep conditioner you like. I just use raw coconut oil. I slather it on, on every other Sunday evening and keep it on for about half an hour before taking a shower and shampooing/conditioning like normal.
