I love coconut oil and have been using it for about 6 months now... for cooking, body and hair. I wish I had known about it years ago. it makes the best chocolate crackles, just substitute for copha. I am always rubbing it into the ends of my coloured hair to keep them looking nice (I have very long hair and they get dry).

I have two homes: one here at uni and one in the next town and I keep a jar at each place... this is how central it is to my existence!
