Goodbye blind trust - Hello research (follow-up on the coconut oil hair treatment)

Hey everyone,

I am having some trouble with the coconut oil hair treatment.  I read that putting coconut oil throughout your hair will make it beautiful, shiny, spectacular.  Everything my hair is not.  Well right now I am really struggling because I am about to go to yoga and my hair looks so greasy.  I did the coconut oil hair treatment yesterday morning.  I spread it throughout my hair and wrapped my hair in a plastic bag and a shower cap.  This insulation is supposed to make the coconut oil deeply penetrate your hair.  I then attempted to rinse using apple cider vinegar.  I applied a full 3 water bottles full of my apple cider vinegar mix.  FAIL.  There is still so much coconut oil in my hair.  I am hoping that the salty sweat from this yoga class will break down some of the coconut oil.  I think I will also go for a run today.  Hopefully the yoga and running will do the trick.  I think I will try a baking soda solution as well.

I'll let you know how it goes.  I need to go to work tomorrow so this is a little scary.  If you have any advice that doesn't involve a commercial shampoo please post a comment below.

I should have done more research as to how to get this coconut oil out first.  This reminds me of the time in grade school when my friends decided to dye my hair with food colouring and vaseline.  I think it took a week to get the vaseline out with the help of harsh chemicals.

Research before action! Free yourself!
