Hi! I am a firm believer in Virgin Organic Coconut Oil. I have been using it for several years and there is a great resource on it. Go to www.tropicaltraditions.com and you will read all the amazing health benefits to this oil. I have used in in cooking, baking, skincare, heair, etc.... I swear by it!
Also, there is a book by Bruce Fife called The Miracle of Coconut Oil that goes into great detail of this oil and the benefits. You can also try www.coconut-info.com for various testimonies on this oil as well.

I just warm it up and run it through my hair at night. I wash it out in the morning. It works like a conditioner!

Yes, it's good fat. I rub it on my pans before cooking, rather than use one of the spray type oils. Sometimes use it for lip balm, but it can get a little messy for that. Will have to try it as an overnight conditioner...that's a good idea!

There is a great coconut cook book from amazon.com. Just go into the search engine and look for it. There is also another book on the coconut diet. Better than olive oil I keep reading.
Tropical Traditions is the best place to order. You have to try the cream (not the lotion). I put the unscented cream on at night (its a bit oily for daytime when it is humid here), and it is so nice and smooth going on. No preservatives, 20 letter chemical words, and it feels so nice. Since coconuts fall off the trees here (I live in the tropics), I use it all the time in cooking, baking, snacking, as a hair conditioner. The coconut recipe book has some great things in it. Cheers.
