Coconut Oil is Amazing

So, I recently picked up something called coconut oil, and my original plan was to use it for my hair. However, I found out that coconut oil can be used for just about anything. I also haven't heard a bad thing about coconut oil yet Here is a list of some of the things people use coconut oil for.
-Shaving
-Hair Care
-Nail Care
-Dieting
-Teeth Whitening
-Make Up Remover
-Acne Treatment
-Light Sun Protection
-And More(you can use it for just about anything, I'm not kidding!)

I haven't tried all of the methods used to for the different things is the list. However, I have made a hair deep conditioner using coconut oil, and it made my hair extremely soft and shiny. I also added it to my other  homemade hair products. I use it on my nails, which are very thin, and brittle, and never grow past a certain point. I have noticed that they are growing faster, getting stronger, and are repairing themselves. I also use it as a nightly moisturizer for my face, it doesn't feel like it clogs my pores. My skin also feels extremely soft, looks a lot better, and my blemishes are fading. I can't say much about it now, as I haven't used it for very long and I am still doing research. However, I have experienced great results so far. I will definitely put up some coconut oil recipes and methods if you want me to, and I can go into detail about some of the different uses coconut oil has.


Here is the jar I own, I picked it up at my local Whole Foods grocery store. You want to make sure it's unrefined, so it doesn't loose any of the good stuff in it. One thing I know, is that coconut oil contains large amounts of lauric acid, which is known to be highly anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. In the jar, it is a harder consistency and it is white. When you rub it around in your hand, it melts instantly and becomes clear. It also smells delicious, not like typical coconut fragrance at all, it's hard to explain but I love it. If you decide to use coconut oil, make sure you won't be allergic.
