Hi Folks

I have started using coconut oil for my beard and skin. However, it is always quite hard to remove from it's container. At present, I use a fork to take a small amount and rub it in my hands for a few minuts before it becomes liquid form.

Can ayne suggest of a better method?

Thank You

I do know the more premium the oil the lower the melting temperature so extra virgin melts quicker than normal etc. I assume it is used like a moisturiser?

Hiya

Thanks for your advice.

I will buy virgin in future.

Yes I am planning to use it as a moisturiser for my beard.

Warm it up. Put it in a sunny spot or something, it melts quite readily.

There are some good recipes online for making your own blend of beard oil, blending with other oils could help.

Is this true?
The only difference I've ever noticed between brands is price. I pay £2.50 for a large tub. If you haven't got a local Kwik-E-Mart then afro hairdressers will sort you out.
