I bought this mainly for oil pulling and I found that it did not work as well as I had seen online yet I was too afraid to try again (of course the results get better the more times you attempt it). I used the basic method of oil pulling where you melt the oil and use it like mouthwash. I lasted 11 minutes before the thought of all my spit expanding in my mouth freaked me out enough that I had to stop! I did not notice an immediate difference but that evening I had an EXCRUCIATING headache - which in itself was awful but the coconut oil is supposed to pull out toxins from your body and clearly it had done that job.
I have not yet used this oil on my hair, but I hear it works miracles. Personally I find it to be amazing when used as a lip balm and for frying veggies :)
