How should I apply coconut oil for hair to avoid greasiness?

For hair care, focus application on the lengths and ends rather than roots to avoid greasiness. Take a small amount—about the size of a dime for medium-length hair—and warm it between your palms until it liquefies. Part your hair and apply directly to the driest sections, working upward with your fingers to distribute evenly. The oil's natural melting point allows it to absorb into hair strands, adding slip that makes detangling easier and reducing the straw-like feel from styling or sun damage. For extra nourishment, leave it on for 20-30 minutes before washing out with a gentle shampoo, or use it as a pre-shampoo treatment. If your hair feels heavy, rinse with lukewarm water and follow with a lightweight conditioner. Avoid applying near the scalp if you have oily hair, and store the bottle in a cool, dark place to maintain its texture year-round.
