Has anyone tried putting coconut oil on the hair and scalp before bleaching , apparently it stops the hair from drying out as much and stops the burning sensation aswell

But would it not act as a sort of barrier between the hair & colour? x

when I was platinum my colourist used to put Moroccan oil in the bleach before applying to my roots and it used to lift fine x

If it's melted down I don't thinking so I used to put oil on my scalp to stop it from burning , I'm wanting to go blonde soon so I'm going to do a strand test tonight so il try it out

Be cautious if your hair is protein sensitive. It will actually cause the reverse and make hair dry.

There is debate whether coconut oil is a form of protein. Some say yes, others say no.

From my experience it was great for growth. I used it back in my university days from recommendation of my Indian friends. I recently went back to using it in November. I did a mask and basically kept it on the lengths for a whole week. It really transformed my hair. But I kept applying it to my scalp area after another protein treatment and I noticed breakage.

So for my hair, one intense treatment was enough. I didn't need to go back and apply it several more times like I did.

I blather my hair in it, sleep in it, then wash it out the next day! Its amazing what it does to your hair and after I've done it I don't have to wash it for ages when you think it would make it greasy!!

Its tremendous..its been used for years in Asia to promote hair growth, another fabulous oil is Olive oil for hair x

Seen another geek ask but it didn't really get answered - if I'm getting my hair coloured in two days would this act as a barrier or not? X

Can you use coconut oil if you have had a keratin blow dry?

No it's perfectly fine just washes out as normal no barrier. X

BUT, I've been putting it on my legs every morning and I love it!

Love mine as a lip balm. I've got a client who I converted and her hair is amazing. She was like a sheep before, huge puffy dry hair, now it's just amazing.

Iv got my coconut oil on my hair atm, I left it on the window sill right in the sun and it's gone all soft, really easy to apply now as it took ages to melt in my hands! I'll be leaving it on all night, I will have long thick hair! Lol x
