What the gurus are saying

Worked into dry ends and left on for an hour or overnight before washing, this coconut oil is the routine these experts keep returning to. It leaves hair softer and shinier, and it washes out easily. The one thing to keep in mind is weight. A little goes a long way, so anyone with fine hair may want to use a tiny amount or reach for the lighter version.

"For the hair oil, I do like the OGX Damage Remedy Plus Coconut Miracle Oil Penetrating Oil. [...] This is a pretty lightweight finishing oil for dry, frizzy ends. It helps improve shine and reduces frizz. You really want to use a super duper small amount or else your hair will feel really heavy, especially if you're somebody who has fine hair like me. It is not intended to go on your scalp, just mid-length to the ends. The key ingredients here are coconut oil and fatty conditioning agents."

"So I do like to treat my hair maybe a couple of times a month with this. I put a good amount in the palm of my hands and I just saturate mids to ends and I also do my bangs as well, and I will let it sit for maybe a half an hour sometimes an hour, maybe 20 minutes, and I will let it sit and marinate on the hair and then I will hop in the shower and do my regular hair care routine. [...] It smells like coconut, it smells so tropical and it really is lovely."
✓Yay
"I think a great affordable option for this is the OGX coconut oil. It comes in a more traditional format. It also comes in a spray mist, which I actually like a little bit more because my hair is a little bit finer. And yes, this does have coconut oil, but that's one of a handful of ingredients. These types of hair oils can be used in a couple of different ways."

Dermatologist's Healthy Haircare Upgrades for 2025 | Dr. Sam Ellis
"I like to use the OGX Coconut Miracle Oil. [...] Using something like this still gives you the benefits of using a coconut oil but it's a much lighter product so I find that it rinses a lot cleaner in the shower. [...] I will apply it to kind of the dry ends and then usually I'm going to work out that allows it to kind of sink in."
✓Yay
"Another option for conditioning and pre-treating dry, brittle hair is a few drops of the OGX. This is their miracle oil. Put it in your hands, scrunch it into your hair. I usually sleep in a sleep cap and then wash the next day. And my hair is a lot more silky, a lot more manageable."

It does have quite a bit of a fragrance to it, but once I've washed it out it does kind of settle down. It doesn't linger throughout the day."

"It does wash out, so you don't have to worry about greasy hair, but I think this has been a bit of a game changer. I mean, I know it's been a bit of a game changer. It was on, I think, my top three hair products. [...] I bought a new one and I'm probably halfway through, if not three-quarters the way through that one, and I will be purchasing a new one again. I think it's great. My hair is just doing so much better these days, and I think that's one of the reasons why."

"This is by OGX, it is called the Coconut Miracle Oil. I'm addicted to this and you can pick up it at the drugstore for next to nothing. The night before I wash my hair in the morning, I give my hair a good dollop of this stuff all the way from roots to ends and I sleep in it overnight. I think it's helping to coat the hair, it's helping to make my hair feel softer. So this for me is replacing all the other oils. Absolutely digging it."

"My hair is super smooth, super shiny, super silky, it's glorious. And I'm telling you, I won't be showering without it. I've now gone through a couple of containers of it. I don't [...] like the form factor because you're putting oil in your hair and you got to pick it up and get more, it just gets all oily and gross. I need a pumping action mechanism for distribution, but any rate, don't care, keep buying it. It's super affordable. You can buy it at most drug stores. It costs about 15 bucks."

"This is another pre-shampoo treatment designed to coat and protect the hair while shampooing. I apply it first to dry hair to saturate that completely and then I put the coconut oil on top. I've been using this for ages but I've made a change very recently to the lighter version of this, it's actually a spray version and it's really better for thinner hair. Love it."

This Haircare Routine Helped Me Grow The Longest, Strongest, Healthiest Hair of My ENTIRE LIFE
"The OGX Coconut Miracle Oil became my favorite for the pre-shampoo oil step several years ago because of how well it worked for such an affordable price, but I know it's not for everyone. It's a thicker, heavier oil, so if you accidentally use too much, use a shampoo that's too gentle, or have finer, thinner hair, it can leave an oily residue behind after washing."

"That oil is really serving the purpose that any pre-shampoo mask would, which is to condition, detangle, and make your hair softer, smoother, and shinier, and protect it better. I feel like I get way better results when I use an oil for that purpose than I ever did when I used a mask, it's night and day, [...] not even a comparison. [...] I also like the feeling of oil in my hair before I wash it so much better than a thick, creamy deep conditioning mask."

"The best kind of oil to protect your hair before swimming is a silicone based oil, because those silicones form a film around the hair and prevent the absorption of water. You could definitely use my favorite OGX coconut oil for this purpose, that's what I use for pre-shampoo. If you use it for pre-shampoo you can also just use it for pre-swimming, [...] making sure you evenly coat your lengths and ends [...] before getting it wet with chlorinated water or salt water."
