If you are going to leave the oil in your hair overnight, place a towel over your pillow, and wear a shower cap to avoid making a mess.
You might need to shampoo your hair 2-3 times to make sure you’ve washed all of the oil from your hair. Use a clarifying shampoo if your regular shampoo doesn’t work. There is no need to use regular conditioner after you wash with shampoo. The coconut oil will have already done the job!
