I really enjoyed reading this blog. I’ve been using Coconut Oil in my hair for over one year during my transition from relaxed to natural (3b-4a hair type), and there is a tremendous difference. God has put on earth everything we need; it’s just a matter of finding it, using it, and seeing the benefits unfold before your eyes. Thanks again, this was interesting. I haven’t used it to cook yet (after reading this I will give it a try) and I was apprehensive about putting it on my face because I wasn’t sure if it clogged the pores (I’d love feedback here). Again, thanks and Happy 2009! God bless!

thanks for all the positive feedback about coconut oil so much so that i ordered it and cannot wait to try it on hair,body and in cooking.i second that comment about wen cleansing conditioner which i tried again today this time fig which is very moisturizing on my fine natural hair however it did not weigh it down.i’ve tried the sweet almond mint and lavendar as well and the lavendar is my favorite.the fig will be good to use during the colder months.it is pricey for a bottle but it doesn’t dry your hair like other products and trust me i have tried ojon,motions and pantene natural and this is the only product that i was able to dry naturally without any dryness in my hair.

I’ve been wanting to get Coconut oil! I should get it today. O and contrary to belief, coconut oil and jojoba oil is a natural sun protectant.

I have that soft dryer!! I bought it last year to take with me on a trip to Europe when I was still rolling and relaxing my hair. I love love love this dryer. The only problem I have with it is you can’t use it with dye. The stuff gets on the plastic helmut and it’s impossible to get off. Otherwise it’s perfect to be used with conditioners and such. Just remove the plastic balloon helmut thing from the machine, turn it inside out, wash gently in your favorite shampoo and water solution and hang to dry. The thing looks rediculous on but it works! Glad I took a chance and bought it.

I just bought some pure unrefined coconut oil and some unrefined shea butter to use on my hair which I am in the process of growing natural. It’s in extensions now so when they come out and I do a BC we’ll see how it works.

WoW!! Where do I start? Thanks for this informative blog Queen ant thanks for all of the testimonies from my fellow Bella’s. Well here I go: I have been dreading this up coming winter. I’ve had my locs five years now and hate not washing them during the winter because I get head colds from my thick hair being damp overnite. My hard bonnet only drys the crown of my head so I usually have to go to bed with a damp head. I use olive oil during the winter to clean my scalp but I can’t beleive I never thought to add coconut oil. I’d like to have clean hair and a nice scent (since I’m only one of two people at my job with a Natrual do). I don’t know why I never thought of adding the Coconut Oil so before the weather changes I’m going to try it. In the mean time I’m going to order the soft bonnet!

I forgot to add that I use a Gold ‘n Hot Heating cap that I got from Sally’s. I’ve had it for almost a year and I really like it. The only thing I don’t like is that I have to plug it into the wall, so I am thinking of switching to this conditioning cap:
