I simply love it. It's light weight, no build up, need only a little, and adds ultimate shine no frizz simply beautiful. Also use as a protectant before swimming and no chlorine damage or color damage from dye I use. This is simply amazing oil I'd give it 10 stars if I could. My hair is growing amazingly long 2 inches in a month. I am African American and have a very good grade of hair middle of my back & was at a stand still before using this. I'm thankful for this product it is a staple for me and my kids. Also other uses my skin, and nails. My nail mixture is this with garlic oil for brittle and weak nails I mix & rub then rinse 3x's a week great results. Also use to pop popcorn it tastes great. I love this oil its the best. This is an honest review my family uses this now as well. THANKS PARACHUTE FOR AMAZING PRODUCT.

Was a little worried as Amazon lately carries fake products but this is good batch
Warm the oil on hot water bath before use

Excellent products for very dry skin, highly recommend

"Healthy" also deserves quotes, I suppose. Same as fingernails or animal horns, as all hair is dead on a cellular level -- unromantic but true.

I have "thirsty" (those quotes, again!) hair, and conditioner doesn't always seem to help much. I also have skin sensitivities, so after one manufacturer changed a formula on one of my faves for the worse, I decided to try coconut oil.

The results are dramatic. My hair looks really nice, as shiny as it was in my 20s, it's soft again, and I'm feeling kind of like a dupe that I've been buying chemically formulated conditioner all these years. I agree with other reviewers that this oil, or at least the batch I got, seems to have something in it to keep it from solidifying (at least in a 70something degree bathroom) the way most culinary coconut oils will. It also doesn't have the same rich coconut flavor of my favorite brands, such as Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 29-Ounce Jars (Pack of 2) - but then it's filtered, and not extra-virgin. Probably for the best, because as nice as coconut is, I really don't want to go around smelling like cheap suntan lotion!

Disclaimer: using too much will obviously wreck greasy havoc on some hair, especially finer, lighter, european hair -- which I have, actually. I couldn't have used this at all back in the day when my hair was naturally on the oily side, but if you have coarse, frizzy, wiry, or even just really dry hair, you can probably find the right amount for you to bring back the nice texture and shine without getting overly heavy -- even if that means mixing it in with a bit of gentle shampoo.

I use coconut oil as a butter replacement for baking cooking and other goods. This is definitely great for that even though it may be more 'potent' than the stuff you buy in a jar at the store. This jug starts off as liquid, but will turn solid if put into a different container in a cooler spot. It's also the equivalent about two of the jars, so the price is great.

Con is that there is a definitely a strong smell and taste, so if you use it on your hair, you may want to leave it as a deep conditioner and wash it out. My husband complained about it when he used it on his scalp for dryness, but it doesn't smell any worse that other hair product and the smell will dissipate after awhile. If used for cooking, make sure your recipe will cancel out the coconut taste if you don't want it. I made butter-free cookie dough and it came out great. Used Reese's peanut butter chip and couldn't taste the oil at all!

It you don't want to risk the scent though, I would suggest sticking to the stuff you find in cars at the supermarket.
