I use it on my hair.  I have no problem washing it out.

Put on your hands - use your shampoo to see if it would remove the coconut oil.  .

 I use very little worm it up. Brush in.

My husband had me buy him a jar for his skin which gets really dry. He also had a yeast-type infection that affected the skin on his nether regions (heh heh) and slathered the coconut oil on THAT. It worked wonders and now he swears by it.

Coconut oil has Vitamin E which can repair our skin it is also a good skin moisturizer. I am using a natural product from Essenzza Health and I really love how this product comes with coconut oil and carrot seed. I am using their facial mask every weekend it helps me to have a moisturized and glowing skin. This product is good for all skin types.

My favorite uses for it are: 
Shaving (helps prevent razor burn, too and good for moisturizing after a shower) 
Cuticle oil if you're into nail care like I am 
Deep treatments for hair (wet hair, apply a liberal amount of oil, and shampoo it out after end of shower-don't condition cause you don't need to) 
Leave in conditioner after styling hair, controls frizz (just a little or it'll be oily) 
But my favorite use of it is for hair and dry skin.

For those of you suffering from dry, rough and wrinkled skin,  Pure virgin coconut oil is a very good solution, as it can be used on everything from your heels to your scalp, providing lasting moisture and evening out the texture of the skin. 

Most of the traditional face and body creams are predominantly water, which allows moisture to be quickly absorbed into the skin (especially if we're talking dry skin) - however, the feeling of smoothness doesn't last too long, as water is either absorbed into the bloodstream or evaporates. The creams and lotions that we use on a daily basis also contain some type of highly refined vegetable oil devoid of all natural protective antioxidants our skin needs to fight free radicals. Virgin coconut oil, however, is the exact opposite: in fact, there are scientists who claim that coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotions available on the market. 

First of all, coconut oil prevents the formation of destructive free radicals. Massage it into your skin and you won't have to worry about liver spots and many other types of blemishes caused by old age or exposure to sunlight. It will even out your skin, give it a more healthy-looking texture and a subtle glow that is bound to reflect on your overall state of mind. Massage it into your skin at night after cleaning your face thoroughly and doing a body scrub - while you're in the shower, you can also use it either as a pre-wash hair conditioner to fight off dandruff, or as a normal conditioner, massaging it into your scalp after using your regular shampoo. Give coconut oil a chance to heal your skin, and you're bound to see results very quickly. 

Coconut oil is also very effective for dandruff and  and hair care.

To try out a coconut oil dandruff home remedy, you will first want to choose the right type of oil. 100% pure coconut oil is thought to be the best choice. You will find that it is in a solid form. It is important to heat up in the oil, whether you do this on top of the stove or in the microwave (in a microwavable oven). 

Keep in mind that you will only want to use a small amount of coconut oil when trying out this dandruff home remedy. If you use too much oil, it can be difficult to rinse it out and may cause your hair to look greasy or may even lead to buildup. One to two teaspoons of coconut oil should be enough to remove the dandruff. 

Gently massage the coconut oil into your scalp. Note that you are treating the scalp and not the hair, which is one of the mistakes that some people make when using a hot oil treatment. Make sure that you massage the oil into the scalp with your fingertips, rather than scratching the scalp with your nails. 

Put a towel or a shower cap over your head. Allow the coconut oil to treat your scalp for 15 to 20 minutes. Be sure to rinse the hair out thoroughly, using a deep moisturizing conditioner if necessary. While you may need to do a coconut oil dandruff treatment several days in a row at first, you should eventually be able to do it only once a week once your dandruff is under control. 

Coconut oil can be a cost efficient, natural and effective approach for treating dandruff without products at home. If you find that a coconut oil dandruff remedy works effectively for you, it may even be ideal to consider visiting a salon for a deep hot oil massage. Keep in mind that olive oil is thought to work much the same way as coconut oil to get rid of dandruff. 

So If you're wondering how to get rid of dandruff, just try coconut oil.
