Virgin Coconut oil enhances the color of our hair, gives it a soft feel and even helps combat dandruff. You don't even have to climb a coconut tree or pay an overly priced spa to get it. It is sold in most hair supply stores for under $8 dollars. Follow these simple steps:

Deep Treatment: Add a few tablespoons of pure virgin coconut oil to dry or slightly damp hair. Wrap the hair in a hot, wrung out towel or plastic bag, then cover with a thick dry towel. Allow the oil to work into hair for at least 30 minutes. The heat will allow the oil to penetrate and fully moisturize your hair.

Smooth Style: Add about half a teaspoon of coconut oil to damp hair after washing. Keep oil away from roots to avoid a greasy look. It's best to start out with a small amount and add as you go because it's really easy to go overboard. The only way to reverse an oily do is to wash again.

Is baking with coconut oil healthier than butter?

The oils are probably not interchangeable on any dish. They have very different tastes...

Coconut oil is much higher in saturated fats than olive oil. So much higher that it's melting temperature is only76F. Whereas, olive oil has so few saturated fats, that it's melting point is only 21F, lower than that of water.

Being a plant oil, there is no cholesterol, but the high saturated fat content makes it a not so inviting oil to use for regular cooking. If there is a special dish that requires the oil, and it's flavor, I would use it, but not in regular cooking.
