Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner: How to Use for Soft Hair

Quick answer

Use a sulfate-free coconut shampoo and conditioner to gently cleanse and deeply moisturize dry hair without stripping natural oils.

Your coconut shampoo and conditioner routine

1. Wet hair thoroughly: Use lukewarm water to open the hair cuticle. Avoid hot water as it can strip natural oils. Common mistake: rinsing with water that is too hot, which can dry out hair further.
2. Apply coconut shampoo to the scalp: Massage a quarter-sized amount of sulfate-free coconut shampoo into your scalp with fingertips, not nails. Work the lather down to the ends only as you rinse. Focus on the scalp; shampoo is for cleansing, not for the lengths.
3. Rinse and gently squeeze out excess water: Rinse thoroughly until no suds remain. Gently squeeze hair with a towel—do not rub, as this can cause frizz. Excess water dilutes the conditioner, so remove enough to let it absorb.
4. Apply coconut conditioner from mid-lengths to ends: Use a nickel- to quarter-sized amount of coconut conditioner. Distribute evenly with a wide-tooth comb or fingers. Avoid the scalp to prevent greasiness. Common mistake: applying conditioner to the roots, which can weigh hair down.

   

5. Leave conditioner on for 2–3 minutes: Let the conditioner sit to allow coconut oil and shea butter to penetrate. For very dry hair, leave on up to 5 minutes. Rinsing too soon reduces moisturizing benefits.
6. Rinse with cool water: Finish with a cool water rinse to seal the cuticle and boost shine. Pat dry with a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt. Cool water helps lock in moisture and reduces frizz.
