I must admit that I was late to hop on the coconut oil train. But hey, it's better late than never.
I cannot say enough about coconut oil on air dried hair. My hair dries soft, supple, and shiny! Every single time. And best of all, it's all natural. I love it on my skin as well. It penetrates and nourishes my skin like no lotion after a shower.
The biggest benefit is that this oil does not completely block the moisture from the outside. And this was the problem I ran into with serums when applied to my wet hair. Silicone based serums absolutely helped me for detangling and sealing purposes. However when it came to air dried styles, around day 2 I had to moisturize daily...heavily.
Now that I've been using only my Giovanni Direct leave in and coconut oil on air dried hair, I can go almost an entire week without applying an product to my hair. This saves me money while still allowing my hair to remain moisturized and nourished. I never find it necessary to moisturize daily and seal. This also helps my styles last longer because I'm not weighing it down with product over the course of a week.
Now, I still heart my Sally GVP Chi Silk Infusion and my Moroccan oil treatments. But I prefer them on wet hair when I'm going to use indirect or direct heat. My hair remains sealed, smooth, and shiny with these serums when using heat.

So after you use the leave in, you put the CO--where? Just on the roots or a little all over?
Yes, I use CO all over after my leave in. I apply it the same as my leave in.
oooooh. Thanks so much. I slept wih CO last night and did a French twist today. Isn't it awesome how its not greasy? Imagine if you did that with olive oil or mayonaise? So tonite I'll try air drying with the CO. Just a little because you have that coarse, thick air I envy. I ain't mad atchu, tho. :-)
Where can I find CO?
@Anonymous - I got it in the oil/condiments isle at Walmart. You can get it from any grocery store.
