I just wanted to share that I have been using coconut oil for about a week now, and it's fabulous. My hair is a bit frizzy and it helps with this too. Esp. since it's been humid here lately. I have been washing my hair, letting it air dry a bit and then applying the oil. Not too much.  Then I put it up in a bun for several hours/all day and when I take it down it's really soft. I have applied it to dry hair too. Like the next day i won't have washed it and i put on a little bit to the ends(shoulders down) and brush it through. It is so nice.

I use coconut oil from time to time too,I think the trick is to apply a VERY thin layer of oil-I rub a bit of oil between my palms and then just smooth it over the lengths of hair.

Actually I think jojoba oil is lighter, but not positive. That is the next oil I want to try. It's just more expensive. When I do apply it I put a bit on my hands, rub my hands together(if it's too slippery I wipe a bit off) and just smooth it on the length like Anne Marie said she does.

Oh, and so far no stickiness complaints Rapunzel(what, if any oil do you use?). I just used it on my sons (17) hair which is getting a bit dried out from excessive pool water contact and sun exposure. I applied it last night after his shower and his locks are just beautiful today. He was even impressed.

I rarely use oil on my hair, it's oily enough all by itself! 

Egads! How could anyone object to the scent of rosemary??
