Jarrow Formulas Coconut Oil is a versatile product, it is primarily used for cooking but I use it in my hair plain or in my various hair care creations. I like this product best when I mix it with other ingredients such as jojoba oil, shea butter and glycerin for when I make my “Special Blend Creamy Oil.” I also love plain coconut oil as a pre-shampoo oil treatment.
To apply as a pre-shampoo oil treatment, I take my twists out and comb my hair out with a wide toothed comb. Then, I divide my hair into 4 sections (the sections don’t have to be neat.) I take a bit of coconut oil and rub it into my palms and apply section by section.
First, I apply to the front right section of my hair. Second, I apply to the front left section of my hair. Third, I apply to the back left section of my hair and finally to the back right section of my hair. I comb through each section, twist or braid each section again and put a plastic cap on over night. The heat from my head will work with the oil to penetrate the hair shaft. The next day I wash my hair, condition, detangle and twist my hair with my “Special Blend Creamy Oil” or other oil.

It is completely solid at cool room temperature. It softens at warm room temperature and melts when placed near moderate heat or when the jar is placed in hot water
Its scent reminds me of petroleum jelly (yet does not contain it)

Product description on bottle: "Jarrow Formulas Organic Coconut Oil is expeller-pressed from the dried fresh of the coconut palm fruit and does not utilize any solvents in the manufacturing process. Coconut oil is a source of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), such as lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Coconut Oil is stable even during long periods of storage. Because its melting point is 75-76 degrees Fahrenheit, coconut oil can be used in both liquid and solid forms."
First five ingredients: 100% pure certified organic coconut oil
Grade: I give this product an A+ because it increased the manageability and softness of my hair before and after I washed it. It aided in a smooth post-shampoo comb out.
