Ok so does anyone know what the difference is between the Coconut oil found in the pharmacy and the one that can be found in the baking section?
What brands do you use and Where do I find it ?
| I don't think there's a difference, I've bought both. Just make sure it's virgin.
I bought a huge jar at costco recently. Quote:

Non soluable silicones require sulfates to "washout" of hair....correct? Or otherwards it could keep building up on hair shaft ...
In that case their shampoo does contain sulfates to do this...so all in all..
Is this ok then?
| It's kind of ok.
Sulfates are harsh, they strip and dry the hair, and silicones coat the hair and make it so moisture can't get in. Some people do fine with both, but if your hair needs more moisture than average it's better to avoid them (curly, really long, chemically treated, etc).
Typically when people stop using silicones their hair looks worse before it looks better because split ends and stuff are revealed.
I'm extra against using silicones on a dog between baths because they just keep building up. If you bath your dog every other week and use a silicone conditioner in the bath and a silicone detangler every day, that's a lot of silicone and I don't think shampooing once would remove it all.
There are tons of debates and information about silicones and sulfates on hair forums, especially ones for curly and natural african american hair. |
