XO! SO happy to help Melanie!! Im sure you already know, but just in case, cetyl and cetearyl alcohols are coconut derived! So if you're allergic, you'll want to avoid those products too! 💗💗💗
So glad that you are showing products without coconut oil because they are very hard to find. I am also allergic to shea butter and most products have that in them. I spend more time reading labels than shopping. The struggle is so real.
The struggle is real! I am allergic to coconut,almond, grape seed etc. finding products without these is hard as hell! I use olive oil and avocado oil and black Jamaican castor oil. Hair is in good condition but I'm interested in hearing about products without the stuff I'm allergic to!
Hey Guys!! Still pretty new at this no-coco oil regimen, but the top question from my last video was, "So, what are you using now!?" So I grabbed all the items that I've liked so far, since I stopped using coconut oil, and I'm showing you in this video! Not all of these are staples, but they're things that have worked well! I hope it helps!! Xo!! 💗
it's too bad that shea moisture doesn't have more products that do not contain coconut oil. They really should think about tapping into that market. They have so many lines already , what's a few more lines that don't contain coconut oil.
Whitney, I stopped using coconut oil after your video as an experiment and let me just say thank you! My hair looks and feels so much better! And no more breakage!
I've noticed that coconut oil caused me to break out really bad. I already have hormonal cystic acne and I used to use coconut oil to take of my makeup but it my my skin go nuts. so glad I got to of coconut oil
Been watching you for a while now, so glad you highlighted the Camille Rose, and Almond oil replacement...these have been game changing hair improvements for me. I joined the non-coconut oil regime after I noticed extreme itching after about a week or so of twists. And once I switched over to the almond oil and Camille products...my hair has literally never been the same. Almost no shedding, not tangles, and a softness for weeks. Thanks for the years of knowledge .
Hey, Whitney! I just want to say thank you for all of your videos! I've been following you for just over a year now and have learned so much. I really had no clue how to look after my hair and just thought that it wasn't capable of growing, so I never paid attention to it. A friend introduced me to your channel and I have to say, my mind was blown! I now make all of my own products, try new protective styles, and for the first time in my life, my hair is shoulder length. Overall, I just love how healthy it is. So, again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
I used to use coconut oil but it makes my hair dry and frizzy, so I stop using coconut oil on my hair. Now I use shea butter and Jamaican black caster oil and my hair loves it 😍.
Don't you think that it could all be a possibility of maybe just going coconut oil crazy? If you use something too much your body is bound to develop a resistance to it.
What about a treatment, preferably diy, to treat an inflamed scalp. I have multiple allergies. Luckily for me, I can still use coconut oils sparingly, but I'm allergic to most nuts. I'm also allergic to panthenol, which is in a lot of products. Growing up, I couldn't grow my hair at all because of allergies. My mom would buy products that I couldn't use because my hair was brittle and my scalp so irritated! A few years ago, I started watching many hair journey videos, especially yours, and learned products and routines I could use for my hair and skin and what a difference it has made! My hair is pass my shoulders. It is still fine, but thicker at the roots. I require little to no heat and manipulation or my ends will break. It has been a journey, but I am grateful to you and the other ladies for directing me with these videos.
Since I'm early, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the tips over the years, Whitney! I've been following your videos since high school, when I finally decided to go natural due to the horrible damage that perms were causing. Now I'm in college and more happy with my natural curls than ever! Keep doing what you do! :D
Weird, the tea tingle doesn't work on my hair, it's a matted mess when I use, I think the tea and mint is too astringent and drying for my hair... The Shea moisture deep treatment also was not impressive, it worked great for me as a leave-in.. But looking to check out the other products...nice to see you and your hair is lovely!
I use the Shea moisture deep treatment masque everyday.... Its really good if you need moisture. Like she said if you want if for a detangler then you will need to use something else with it. I use it for the moisture and it helps define my 4c twist outs better.... I also really brings out a curl pattern when mixed with the Eco styling gel... Some of the product really just depend on the result you are looking for. I don't really care about the detangling.... Its not worth it for 4c hair....you just loose to much hair.
+Antoinette Daniels probably because its cleansing but i use it every week because of my scalp but you deff have to detangle before you use it or it will be dry and tangled lol and the conditioner i won't be repurchasing it did nothing i would recommend it for a person with straight hair
I have recently stopped using coconut oil and products containing coconut oil. I felt that coconut oil was just sitting on top of my hair and was not doing anything for my hair. I have noticed such a difference sense stopping Thank you for doing this video.
Great product recommendations. I've been allergic to coconut oil for years so I feel your pain. I just ordered a bunch of new coconut free products so I'm excited to try them out. I also need to try your mango butter recipe, I know my hair will just eat that up! thanks for the vid Whitt 🤗.
Just picked up Camille Rose Twisting Butter, so I will see how that works for me! Thank you for sharing EVERYTHING from beginning to end (pre-poo, shampoo, deep conditioning, styler)!!! That really helps, because it does seem like more and more products are including coconut oil as one of the main ingredients. Thanks a bunch!
My hair does fine with coconut oil, but it's not my favorite. I will say though...that pure oils hydration masque is LIFE. I wish I had it when I was transitioning. The price, the slip, the smell, the moisture! I recommend it to everyone who will listen lol I look forward to seeing more updates as you discover more coconut oil free products. Your hair looks great.
Thank you sooo much! I just recently discovered I'm allergic to coconut oil but I found out from using it on my body. I developed eczema on my arms and I also noticed I couldn't use Cantu products anymore. I removed coconut oil from my daily routine and my arms cleared up instantly!
I've been eyeing that Pure Oils line for a couple weeks now, I'm on a budget tho so I'm waiting til I have extra cash. For some reason self control is hard when it comes to hair products.
I did a review on the Moisturizing Marmalade from Pure Oils and I really like it! I'm on a budget too since I don't make much money. But I think you could try out that product first from the line! MoKnowsHair also has a hair tutorial with her using the Pure Oils products.
Latonya Minor Right! When I was relaxed I just bought the same products over and over didnt care to try anything new lol. Now I'm obsessed with hair products
Hate to break it to most of you but if you are using most of these products on Napturals list, you are NOT coconut or coconut oil free. A LOT of the products contain Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, cetyl and or cetearyl alcohol with are produced mainly from coconut , vegetable and or palm oils. Most makes of natural products use the coconut derivative as it is the cheaper of the 3 . Thanks
Most of the products you recommended have these two ingredients in them Cocamidopropylamine oxide and Cocamidopropyl Betaine and are also derived from coconut oil. If an ingredient begins with coca it's coconut oil based.
I know this is a very late response but I just saw this due to looking for a shampoo without coconut oil in it. It amazes me how many people don't know or just haven't done enough research to know that coconut oil comes in thousands of different names and forms. As you stated, all the products she recommended have coconut oil in them. I even had a dermatologist prescribe an ointment for me that had Cocamidopropyl Betaine in it after I told her I can't use coconut oil, claiming she didn't know that this was coconut oil. SMH and thank you for your response because I really didn't want to be the only one to tell her to do the research before suggesting products to people who might be allergic to coconut oil.
Hmmm....this is why we should do our own research, maybe. What's good for one person, isn't necessarily great for another. This can be prevalent in the UA-cam community. Just saying.
For others struggling with sulphate/coconut oil intolerance, I have compiled a list of shampoos I am going to experiment with to see if I can find my holy grail. Ever since CON changed their argan oil shampoo formula I have been at a loss. So far these are my options: *KeraCare 1st Lather Shampoo / Keracare Hydrating & Detangling Shampoo (mild sulphates and coconut derivatives in the first 5 ingredients) *Elucence Moisturise Benefits Shampoo (only coconut derivatives not in the first 5 ingredients / mild sulphates also not in the first 5 ingredients) *Theraneem Gentle Therape / Theraneem Scalp Therapy Shampoo (only coconut derivatives not in the first 5 ingredients / mild sulphates also not in the first 5 ingredients) I am only listing these here because I trawled through many a forum and blog to find potentials to replace my CON and I wish someone had given me these options earlier. I bought the AMIKA shampoo listed even though I know that the second ingredient in it is a harsh sulphate and after the drama I had with CON Red Clover Soothing Scalp shampoo which has a chockful of sulphates I said nah not me. Not today. I can vouch for the AMIKA Triple RX Mask though which Naptural recommended. Love the stuff! Tried the Keracare shampoos together yesterday very gentle on the scalp will let you know how I get on!
I think I'm going to try out some of these products. I use coconut oil for EVERYTHING hair related and I never really paid attention to the fact that my scalp would be extremely irritated after applying coconut oil. It would be so itchy and burning that I would scratch to the point where it almost bled and I couldn't pin point why. I put some coconut oil on my scalp the other day and I finally figured out what was causing my scalp irritation. Thanks for the videos because they opened my eyes.
Thanks so much for this and the previous video! I have been going through the exact same thing since I decided to start wearing hijab earlier this year. The levels of exposure to and moisture in my hair had changed shortly after and coconut went from being my hair's best friend to worst nightmare. I kind of figured it had something to do with the oil, but your previous video definitely confirmed it. So informative. Thanks, Whitney!
Gf is alergic to coconut oil and it is actually super hard to find shampoos and body washes with out it. Any that would be coconut free would be cool if you have any suggestions. Not sure if it's all coconut or not so the dirivitives may not work. Great video!
just wanted to give you a suggestion when using the SM Deep treatment masque. I didn't like it either when I first started using it. that line is pretty thick actually. BUT my fellow non coconut users, if you add SM olive and green tea bath, body, and massage oil the slip in the mask is off the chain! Any olive oil helps but I like using the body oil because it's all natural and there are 5 oils in one. With vitamin E and tea tree. I know it may sound crazy but that is the only way I can use the masque and my kinky hair loves it. I hope you try this out. 😊
My hair hates coconut oil too. I just checked the products I have been using lately and I thought I would share them because my hair loves them. The conditioner I use is by Petal Fresh Pure. It's their Anti-Frizz Lavender conditioner. It does have derivatives of coconut oil but no straight coconut oil. When I put it on my hair it basically melts the knots away and defines my curls. Great slip and you can just run your fingers through your hair. On the back it mentions that it's good for coarse textures. The deep treatment mask I use is by Topganic. I use the Argan oil one for dry & colored hair. It has no coconut oil or derivatives in it. This is another conditioner that melts knots away and has amazing slip. It also leaves your hair really soft and moisturized. By the way my texture is similar to Whitney's hair. These two products have been a blessing for me. I got them at HEB in Houston, Tx. Not sure why they might be sold in states that don't have HEB. Could probably get them on Amazon.
I appreciate this video because I feel like my hair has not been responding to coconut oil well and you showing some products without it is very helpful. Love all your videos!
Thanks for this follow up video. After seeing your initial and hearing your issues I stopped using coconut oil. I have not had any pimples on my scalp or soreness and my hair feels much better. I do DIY shea butter without coconut oil and it's great
Hey Whitney! So glad you mentioned that there is a Sally's near you. Have you ever tried the Proclaim Jamaican Black Castor Oil line? They have à shampoo, conditioner, leave in and curl spray!! Truly is amazing and very affordable... give them a try 👌🏽
I'll try the products you mentioned, I find that my hair doesn't like pure coconut oil either when I use it right out the jar but I can use store products that have coconut oil in it as long as it contains other oils in it
Great video Whitney. I've never been a fan of coconut oil because I thought it was too heavy. I prefer grape seed oil (as a stand alone). It's lighter and my hair & skin love it.
I know you are busy with a lot of things. I just want to think you for giving out information on people that cannot usecoconut oil. My hair hates coconut oil. I am glad that you mentioned acetyl alcohol because I have a a lot products with that product. Do you or any other person knows hair products that don't have coconut oil and acetyl in product. I glad to see you are going back to DIY products. Hair products are getting too expensive. Every time I go to the store there are new products. Think you for all your informative videos. Keep pushing them. Again thinks
Whitney ur videos r so helpful !!! U make sure you give a thorough review of every product . I honestly can't compare u to any other hair channels . # true guru
Made me smile when you called Ouidad "Oydad." I've always called it "Wee-dad" because "oui" ("yes") is pronounced "wee" in French. Truthfully, I don't know it's correct pronunciation! It's just what *I've* always said, and to hear someone say it differently (I repeat) made me smile!" Have you ever used any "Mixed Chicks" products?
Been thinking about trying the frizz defense line from shea moisture since it doesn't have coconut oil so I'm glad you had a good experience with it. I hope I have a good experience too. Great video and info.
I'm new to this line but so far I like it. No matter what I tried from Shea moisture NOTHING worked! my hair doesn't like it, it messes with my curls and texture overall😩
Thank you for sharing. You used some of Jane Carter products in 2014. I check the ingredients and I discovered that it has no coconut in it. May be you should try the products line and do a review on it.
Hey I truly appreciated this video! I've been struggling to find products every since I figured out I was sensitive to coconut oil. My only question is what do you use to moisturize DAILY, I feel like everyone always talked about what they use for wash and goes but not how they keep their hair moisturized every day. Thank you!!!!!
How crazy is it that I bought those exact camillerose products yesterday and only today watched this video?! Haha great minds 😊thanks for this video update. Your hair looks amazing! Full and shiny😎
Can't wait to see more product reviews that do not contain Coconut. I prefer a crunchy gel or cream myself that can be scrunched out. Problem is finding one that adds body, movement, and volume. Aussie Volume is a great example but the ingredients are questionable and it's best used occasionally instead of a "go to". Thanks for the recommendations. [3b/3c High Porosity]
Nice video. I need a leave-in that doesn't have coconut oil, glycerin or aloe vera for the winter. This is so hard to find. The ones I find have isopropyl alcohol in them. If you run across anything like that please post. Thanks.
Hey Whitney, the Silk Elements Pure Oils line is really nice. The leave in is very light weight but moisturizing, the butter to me is more like a light weight Shea butter mix and the marmalade has that flax seed type of look and feel and it's very concentrated. I haven't use the line on my hair but I use it on my daughters type 4 fine hair and this is the first time in a whole that her hair hasn't been dry.
Thanks for sharing! Funny, I just purchased the Camilla Rose twisting butter. I was desperate to find something without Coconut oil. My hair loves it too!
I'm allergic to nuts so I completely understand your struggle with having to go through ingredients with a fine tooth comb! Love your videos. You inspired me to go natural years ago. Thank you!
Antoinette Minor me too! The struggle is real. I didn't realize macadamia oil and sweet almond oil were in everything. I took 10 hair and skin items after Christmas because of that. My head was so itchy that I was washing it every 3 days. DIY may be the way to go but I don't really have time.
I tried using coconut oil in my hair but it gets crunchy. I have 2 liters of this stuff. So might just use it to prepoo and detangle. My shampoos are not sulfate free though. Avocado oil is my favourite oil. Hair like silk. Love your twist out
My hair used to love coconut oil. It was be soft and manageable but now it just sits on my hair and does not absorb. just end up with greasy hard hair. I just ordered some new products that will hopefully help my hair. I used the Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus line for years and now I can't. Thanks for the info. Nice to know I'm not the only one. ☺
Although I'm a little weary of new products, after my own coconut oil disaster, I still like to check out them out. I prefer diy but store bought is great for times when I'm too busy to be a mixologist. I've seen the Ouidad products & they are too expensive, at least in Canada. I seen so many products that you mentioned, that I've wanted to try but they double & triple the price in Canada. Thanks for the info. 😊
Even though my hair does like coconut oil, I still love to watch your videos. Since your hair is shorter than what it used to be, would you ever rock mini twists again?
Great video! My hair loves coconut oil, but I use some products that don't have this ingredient in them. My hair doesn't care for SheaMoiature Deep Treatment Masque now that it is healthy now. The last time that I used the two Camille Rose Naturals products you mentioned was last winter, and I might have to pull them back out soon.
I see your gray hairs have come back in! The Shea Moisture hair color has faded already? How long ago did you do the color? I want to use the SM hair color system and I have grays in the top-front as well and I don't want those grays to come back so quick lol
Love you Whitney! Ive recently just kind of fallen out of love with coconut oil anyway. Id been using a coconut conditioner that was just ok, not great, and then a few weeks ago I ended up trying an argan oil conditioner for my cowashing instead, and its been like magic for my hair. Soft, silky, manageable hair that holds its curl pattern and hangs well because im also only cowashing now and using an easy olive oil sealer i still have left over. I think argan might be that magic oil everyone's looking for. I couldnt recommend it more.
Yasssss! Thanks for this video Whit! I was one of the people who asked what youve been using🙈🙈 thanks for taking ur time to make this vid! You rock at connecting with us💜
Thank you so much, everybody thought I was crazy when I said I am allergic to coconut. I am already using Camille Rose Jai butter and Trader Joes Tea Tree, shampoo, conditioner, and shower. I found that I can use Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Seal it up Hydrating Sealing butter, everything else I use is DIY. This video and the Prepoo video are really saving me and my hair.
First I must say great video!!!😃 I also have to tell you that I've made your Black Soap for myself and for friends and family, and they love it!!! They're trying to get me to sell it, but I will not for two reasons. For starters it's not my recipe, and that sounds like too much work,(I'm married with three children all under ten years old, in which two are girls with long full hair, I have one on the way, and I work. Ain't nobody got time for that. Lol😂😂😂, but I will continue to make it because I like making things when I have the time. Thanks to you I love Cupuacu Butter! I want to know how you store your Mango and Cupuacu Butter recipe. I plan to make this for friends as well. Once again I thank you soooo much for your videos. Keep up the good work!!!😉
This was definitely helpful! My hair doesn't like coconut oil either, and I have been trying to find products to use without coconut oil. Thanks, Whitney! :)
Dominique Love Giovanni products have been my ride or die for 5 years.And I can get the big bottles with the pumps from TJ Maxx or Marshalls cheap. And the penny pincher loves the fact that they always come with a $2.00 off coupon attached I can use immediately 🙌🏾😂
Thanks for the video. Im also one of many that cant use coconut oil so getting a list of products to try is very helpful. Thanks again and hair looks beautiful as usual 😊
Could you possibly do one for Shea Butter? I think that I am allergic and it's nearly impossible for me to find any non-diy products. I just purchased some ingredients to make my mango butter, so I'm super excited about that! Love your channel btw!!
As far as your shea butter goes if you're trying to find a way to use it...maybe try it as a body lotion/cream. I've found that, while my hair hates coconut oil, I can use it on my skin and it makes it super soft.
Hi Whitley :) First and foremost I wanted to say your videos are awesome I watch them all the time. I just wanted to ask you if you sell any of your Dyi products? I really miss making my own but my schedule is always super hectic :(
Hey Nap! This info about the alternative products has been awesome. My daughter had a similar experience. I also noticed her hair sheds less if kept straight with a weekly flat iron. Go figure! Anyway, I noticed you don't use Olive Oil, is there a reason why? Appreciate you and take care! 👍🏾
Will you be doing am updated co-wash video now that you stopped coconut oil? Would be so helpful to see what to do to detangle instead; don't like to use over counter products.
As someone with natural hair who's allergic to coconuts, thank you so much for this video.
XO! SO happy to help Melanie!! Im sure you already know, but just in case, cetyl and cetearyl alcohols are coconut derived! So if you're allergic, you'll want to avoid those products too! 💗💗💗
@naturallyfreeinc on Instagram could help with that I just found them
What leave in conditoner do you use
So glad that you are showing products without coconut oil because they are very hard to find. I am also allergic to shea butter and most products have that in them. I spend more time reading labels than shopping. The struggle is so real.
Same i don't use coconut or Shea butter in my hair but i have some products without it well all my products don't contain neither
SAAME!!!
The struggle is real! I am allergic to coconut,almond, grape seed etc. finding products without these is hard as hell! I use olive oil and avocado oil and black Jamaican castor oil. Hair is in good condition but I'm interested in hearing about products without the stuff I'm allergic to!
I know right!!!!!
Check out @NaturalsWithAllergies on Instagram. They post alot of coconut/ nut free products for natural hair and all hair/skin types.
Hey Guys!! Still pretty new at this no-coco oil regimen, but the top question from my last video was, "So, what are you using now!?" So I grabbed all the items that I've liked so far, since I stopped using coconut oil, and I'm showing you in this video! Not all of these are staples, but they're things that have worked well! I hope it helps!! Xo!! 💗
do you mind making a deep conditioner that's for strictly moisture. nothing protein related just super moisturizing
Have you tried using a really ripe avacado, olive oil and honey?
+RENAE S. Yes, super good. I recommend. 👍
I love it too! It's a good staple in my regimen.
+RENAE S. 👍👍😍
it's too bad that shea moisture doesn't have more products that do not contain coconut oil. They really should think about tapping into that market. They have so many lines already , what's a few more lines that don't contain coconut oil.
Whitney, I stopped using coconut oil after your video as an experiment and let me just say thank you! My hair looks and feels so much better! And no more breakage!
meganjerai how can you tell if you don't have new breakage? I need to grow out all of the breakage that I have.
TwinkieToes My hair is breaking off when I comb it as it did before.
I've noticed that coconut oil caused me to break out really bad. I already have hormonal cystic acne and I used to use coconut oil to take of my makeup but it my my skin go nuts. so glad I got to of coconut oil
I have this SAME problem! Coconut oil and coconut cream cause me to break out too much!
Been watching you for a while now, so glad you highlighted the Camille Rose, and Almond oil replacement...these have been game changing hair improvements for me.

OMG YOU'RE HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD AHH! 😍
Hey, Whitney! I just want to say thank you for all of your videos! I've been following you for just over a year now and have learned so much. I really had no clue how to look after my hair and just thought that it wasn't capable of growing, so I never paid attention to it.

So, again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
don't you love it when we're knowledgeable about our own hair, and can see progess from our own actions instead of someone else taking care of it.
It was so good to see you at Beautycon! Keep up all the amazing work!! Love always!
I've been trying to find new products since i became natural from cutting my hair, this is very helpful thank you!
I've never used coconut oil on my hair (I'm 14) I love olive oil though
romeo juliet me too I love olive oil!
yes it makes my hair sooo soft!
What hair type do u girls have??
Shawnita Jones I'm a 4a mixture
I'm starting this natural journey and I'm just looking and researching how to moisturize my hair
I used to use coconut oil but it makes my hair dry and frizzy, so I stop using coconut oil on my hair. Now I use shea butter and Jamaican black caster oil and my hair loves it 😍.
Nige Cooper it makes your hair thicker too
+Kinky Koily Kayla is there a certain brand of Jamaican Black Caster oil that you would recommend?
Castor oil is really good. It works perfectly for me. It makes your hair thick but I am not sure about it making hair grow
aiden12carter I recommend sunny isle's Jamaican black castor oil. Shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil product.
The conditioners have coconut oil in it. The only item in that line that does not is the shampoo.
Don't you think that it could all be a possibility of maybe just going coconut oil crazy? If you use something too much your body is bound to develop a resistance to it.
Most def could be a possibility Dominique! ❤️

ThatNATLife that masque didn't work for me either. try the manuka honey line! That one is amazing
Just be careful, the Manuka Honey has coconut oil in it! I used to love it too tho 😩 Xo! 💗
ThatNATLife yes, my hair too. My hair was breaking from it.
+Antoinette Daniels probably because its cleansing but i use it every week because of my scalp but you deff have to detangle before you use it or it will be dry and tangled lol and the conditioner i won't be repurchasing it did nothing i would recommend it for a person with straight hair
I bought the almond jai twisting butter and the moisture milk yesterday and they work soooo good. Especially together. Great combo!
I have recently stopped using coconut oil and products containing coconut oil. I felt that coconut oil was just sitting on top of my hair and was not doing anything for my hair. I have noticed such a difference sense stopping
Thank you for doing this video.
I cannot get over how gorgeous your hair is looking!!! And years ago you got me on the Tea Tree tingle...and still using it til this day!
Thank you this was so helpful. I found that Argan oil is great alternative to coconut oil
Great product recommendations. I've been allergic to coconut oil for years so I feel your pain. I just ordered a bunch of new coconut free products so I'm excited to try them out. I also need to try your mango butter recipe, I know my hair will just eat that up! thanks for the vid Whitt 🤗.
Can u share the list of coconut free products you ordered? I have hella allergies and finding products without coconut oil or almond oil is difficult.
Just picked up Camille Rose Twisting Butter, so I will see how that works for me! Thank you for sharing EVERYTHING from beginning to end (pre-poo, shampoo, deep conditioning, styler)!!! That really helps, because it does seem like more and more products are including coconut oil as one of the main ingredients. Thanks a bunch!
My hair does fine with coconut oil, but it's not my favorite.
I will say though...that pure oils hydration masque is LIFE. I wish I had it when I was transitioning. The price, the slip, the smell, the moisture! I recommend it to everyone who will listen lol
I look forward to seeing more updates as you discover more coconut oil free products. Your hair looks great.
Thank you sooo much! I just recently discovered I'm allergic to coconut oil but I found out from using it on my body. I developed eczema on my arms and I also noticed I couldn't use Cantu products anymore. I removed coconut oil from my daily routine and my arms cleared up instantly!
your hair is flourishing! great bounce back!
Sooooo thankful for you doing this...i have googled my life away trying to find products without coconut oil. Thank you
Whitney you look so beautiful and glowy. Congrats on your success!
I really appreciate your transparency Whitney!
I've been eyeing that Pure Oils line for a couple weeks now, I'm on a budget tho so I'm waiting til I have extra cash. For some reason self control is hard when it comes to hair products.

Jasmine Ruffin Thanks for the info, I'll check it out :)
Jamie Ambrose No problem!
Latonya Minor Right! When I was relaxed I just bought the same products over and over didnt care to try anything new lol. Now I'm obsessed with hair products
yep, not everything works the same for everyone that's for sure. super helpful video, thanks for sharing the info!! :)
Hate to break it to most of you but if you are using most of these products on Napturals list, you are NOT coconut or coconut oil free. A LOT of the products contain Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, cetyl and or cetearyl alcohol with are produced mainly from coconut , vegetable and or palm oils. Most makes of natural products use the coconut derivative as it is the cheaper of the 3 . Thanks
Most of the products you recommended have these two ingredients in them Cocamidopropylamine oxide and Cocamidopropyl Betaine and are also derived from coconut oil. If an ingredient begins with coca it's coconut oil based.
I know this is a very late response but I just saw this due to looking for a shampoo without coconut oil in it. It amazes me how many people don't know or just haven't done enough research to know that coconut oil comes in thousands of different names and forms. As you stated, all the products she recommended have coconut oil in them. I even had a dermatologist prescribe an ointment for me that had Cocamidopropyl Betaine in it after I told her I can't use coconut oil, claiming she didn't know that this was coconut oil. SMH and thank you for your response because I really didn't want to be the only one to tell her to do the research before suggesting products to people who might be allergic to coconut oil.
Hmmm....this is why we should do our own research, maybe. What's good for one person, isn't necessarily great for another. This can be prevalent in the UA-cam community. Just saying.
For others struggling with sulphate/coconut oil intolerance, I have compiled a list of shampoos I am going to experiment with to see if I can find my holy grail. Ever since CON changed their argan oil shampoo formula I have been at a loss. So far these are my options:
*KeraCare 1st Lather Shampoo / Keracare Hydrating & Detangling Shampoo (mild sulphates and coconut derivatives in the first 5 ingredients)
*Elucence Moisturise Benefits Shampoo (only coconut derivatives not in the first 5 ingredients / mild sulphates also not in the first 5 ingredients)
*Theraneem Gentle Therape / Theraneem Scalp Therapy Shampoo (only coconut derivatives not in the first 5 ingredients / mild sulphates also not in the first 5 ingredients)
I am only listing these here because I trawled through many a forum and blog to find potentials to replace my CON and I wish someone had given me these options earlier. I bought the AMIKA shampoo listed even though I know that the second ingredient in it is a harsh sulphate and after the drama I had with CON Red Clover Soothing Scalp shampoo which has a chockful of sulphates I said nah not me. Not today. I can vouch for the AMIKA Triple RX Mask though which Naptural recommended. Love the stuff!
Tried the Keracare shampoos together yesterday very gentle on the scalp will let you know how I get on!
Your hair looks gorgeous! I totally see the difference. Thank you so much for this ❤️❤️❤️
Your hair is looking really pretty. Glad you were able to find products that are working for you.
OMG! Congrats Nap85! I just saw you in a Shea Moisture commercial. I love to see women advance, especially doing what they love. Kudos🙌🏽
I think I'm going to try out some of these products. I use coconut oil for EVERYTHING hair related and I never really paid attention to the fact that my scalp would be extremely irritated after applying coconut oil. It would be so itchy and burning that I would scratch to the point where it almost bled and I couldn't pin point why. I put some coconut oil on my scalp the other day and I finally figured out what was causing my scalp irritation. Thanks for the videos because they opened my eyes.
Thanks so much for this and the previous video! I have been going through the exact same thing since I decided to start wearing hijab earlier this year. The levels of exposure to and moisture in my hair had changed shortly after and coconut went from being my hair's best friend to worst nightmare. I kind of figured it had something to do with the oil, but your previous video definitely confirmed it. So informative. Thanks, Whitney!
Gf is alergic to coconut oil and it is actually super hard to find shampoos and body washes with out it. Any that would be coconut free would be cool if you have any suggestions. Not sure if it's all coconut or not so the dirivitives may not work. Great video!
just wanted to give you a suggestion when using the SM Deep treatment masque. I didn't like it either when I first started using it. that line is pretty thick actually. BUT my fellow non coconut users, if you add SM olive and green tea bath, body, and massage oil the slip in the mask is off the chain! Any olive oil helps but I like using the body oil because it's all natural and there are 5 oils in one. With vitamin E and tea tree. I know it may sound crazy but that is the only way I can use the masque and my kinky hair loves it. I hope you try this out. 😊
My hair hates coconut oil too. I just checked the products I have been using lately and I thought I would share them because my hair loves them.
The conditioner I use is by Petal Fresh Pure. It's their Anti-Frizz Lavender conditioner. It does have derivatives of coconut oil but no straight coconut oil. When I put it on my hair it basically melts the knots away and defines my curls. Great slip and you can just run your fingers through your hair. On the back it mentions that it's good for coarse textures.
The deep treatment mask I use is by Topganic. I use the Argan oil one for dry & colored hair. It has no coconut oil or derivatives in it. This is another conditioner that melts knots away and has amazing slip. It also leaves your hair really soft and moisturized.
By the way my texture is similar to Whitney's hair. These two products have been a blessing for me. I got them at HEB in Houston, Tx. Not sure why they might be sold in states that don't have HEB. Could probably get them on Amazon.
I appreciate this video because I feel like my hair has not been responding to coconut oil well and you showing some products without it is very helpful. Love all your videos!
I'd love it if you did another lip color vid!!! Cause i've been loving the colors you wear lately!!
Your hair 😍 your make up 😍 excellent video, picked up some tips and will be trying out some of the products once I've finished what I'm using.
Thanks for this follow up video. After seeing your initial and hearing your issues I stopped using coconut oil. I have not had any pimples on my scalp or soreness and my hair feels much better. I do DIY shea butter without coconut oil and it's great
Thank you SO much for this! My MIL is a recent transitioning natural and she is allergic to coconut so this was a huge help to her!
The color treated part of my hair doesn't like coconut oil and I'm so bummed out about it. Definitely will check out some of these products!!
Hey Whitney! So glad you mentioned that there is a Sally's near you. Have you ever tried the Proclaim Jamaican Black Castor Oil line? They have à shampoo, conditioner, leave in and curl spray!! Truly is amazing and very affordable... give them a try 👌🏽
Thanks TheFoster5! I'll look into it! ❤️
Thank you! A few years ago I inquired what to use if you can't use coconut oil as I have an allergy. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I'll try the products you mentioned, I find that my hair doesn't like pure coconut oil either when I use it right out the jar but I can use store products that have coconut oil in it as long as it contains other oils in it
I hope you like some of the products Queen Toshe! 💗💗
I have the same issue! My hair LOVES the As I Am Coconut Co-Wash and leave-in, but hates pure coconut oil.
+Naptural85 Thank You! ❤❤
Great video Whitney. I've never been a fan of coconut oil because I thought it was too heavy. I prefer grape seed oil (as a stand alone). It's lighter and my hair & skin love it.
I know you are busy with a lot of things. I just want to think you for giving out information on people that cannot usecoconut oil. My hair hates coconut oil. I am glad that you mentioned acetyl alcohol because I have a a lot products with that product. Do you or any other person knows hair products that don't have coconut oil and acetyl in product. I glad to see you are going back to DIY products. Hair products are getting too expensive. Every time I go to the store there are new products. Think you for all your informative videos. Keep pushing them. Again thinks
Omg thank you for this. It’s so hard to find products without coconuts in them. 😩it’s everywhere.
Whitney ur videos r so helpful !!! U make sure you give a thorough review of every product . I honestly can't compare u to any other hair channels . # true guru
Made me smile when you called Ouidad "Oydad." I've always called it "Wee-dad" because "oui" ("yes") is pronounced "wee" in French. Truthfully, I don't know it's correct pronunciation! It's just what *I've* always said, and to hear someone say it differently (I repeat) made me smile!" Have you ever used any "Mixed Chicks" products?
Been thinking about trying the frizz defense line from shea moisture since it doesn't have coconut oil so I'm glad you had a good experience with it. I hope I have a good experience too. Great video and info.
Thank you for this. Any update on? I'm looking for a coconut free leave in conditioner. Would really appreciate some direction.
You should try the Camille Rose deep conditioner, it's amazing!
I love Camille rose naturals products
wow, good to know. I've been using their twisting butter and love it
It is great! I love the hair milk too.
I'm new to this line but so far I like it. No matter what I tried from Shea moisture NOTHING worked! my hair doesn't like it, it messes with my curls and texture overall😩
I saw you on the Shea Moisture commercial! Yay! Congratulations!!!!
Thank you for sharing. You used some of Jane Carter products in 2014. I check the ingredients and I discovered that it has no coconut in it. May be you should try the products line and do a review on it.
Hey I truly appreciated this video! I've been struggling to find products every since I figured out I was sensitive to coconut oil. My only question is what do you use to moisturize DAILY, I feel like everyone always talked about what they use for wash and goes but not how they keep their hair moisturized every day. Thank you!!!!!
How crazy is it that I bought those exact camillerose products yesterday and only today watched this video?! Haha great minds 😊thanks for this video update. Your hair looks amazing! Full and shiny😎
Can't wait to see more product reviews that do not contain Coconut. I prefer a crunchy gel or cream myself that can be scrunched out. Problem is finding one that adds body, movement, and volume. Aussie Volume is a great example but the ingredients are questionable and it's best used occasionally instead of a "go to". Thanks for the recommendations. [3b/3c High Porosity]
Love your hair! I'll have to try some of these products. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Marriage & Motherhood!! SO happy to share!! 💗💗💗
@@Naptural85 what about coconut free products for flat iron style, silk pressed style, and roller set style
Nice video. I need a leave-in that doesn't have coconut oil, glycerin or aloe vera for the winter. This is so hard to find. The ones I find have isopropyl alcohol in them. If you run across anything like that please post. Thanks.
Hey Whitney, the Silk Elements Pure Oils line is really nice. The leave in is very light weight but moisturizing, the butter to me is more like a light weight Shea butter mix and the marmalade has that flax seed type of look and feel and it's very concentrated. I haven't use the line on my hair but I use it on my daughters type 4 fine hair and this is the first time in a whole that her hair hasn't been dry.
Thanks for sharing! Funny, I just purchased the Camilla Rose twisting butter. I was desperate to find something without Coconut oil. My hair loves it too!
I'm allergic to nuts so I completely understand your struggle with having to go through ingredients with a fine tooth comb! Love your videos. You inspired me to go natural years ago. Thank you!
Antoinette Minor me too! The struggle is real. I didn't realize macadamia oil and sweet almond oil were in everything. I took 10 hair and skin items after Christmas because of that. My head was so itchy that I was washing it every 3 days. DIY may be the way to go but I don't really have time.
Thank you so much Whit. I truly needed this video as I'm one of those still on a search for what works for my hair.
I tried using coconut oil in my hair but it gets crunchy. I have 2 liters of this stuff. So might just use it to prepoo and detangle. My shampoos are not sulfate free though. Avocado oil is my favourite oil. Hair like silk. Love your twist out
My hair used to love coconut oil. It was be soft and manageable but now it just sits on my hair and does not absorb. just end up with greasy hard hair. I just ordered some new products that will hopefully help my hair. I used the Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus line for years and now I can't. Thanks for the info. Nice to know I'm not the only one. ☺
Love this!! Can you make a new hot oil treatment video showing us how you would substitute coconut oil for another?
camille Rose products are complete LIFE!
Can you do an updated braid out or twist out cause your hair is looking so good!
Although I'm a little weary of new products, after my own coconut oil disaster, I still like to check out them out. I prefer diy but store bought is great for times when I'm too busy to be a mixologist. I've seen the Ouidad products & they are too expensive, at least in Canada. I seen so many products that you mentioned, that I've wanted to try but they double & triple the price in Canada. Thanks for the info. 😊
Even though my hair does like coconut oil, I still love to watch your videos. Since your hair is shorter than what it used to be, would you ever rock mini twists again?
Xo! Thank you so much for watching Alicia!! I'd def like to! 💗💗💗
Great video! My hair loves coconut oil, but I use some products that don't have this ingredient in them. My hair doesn't care for SheaMoiature Deep Treatment Masque now that it is healthy now. The last time that I used the two Camille Rose Naturals products you mentioned was last winter, and I might have to pull them back out soon.
I see your gray hairs have come back in! The Shea Moisture hair color has faded already? How long ago did you do the color? I want to use the SM hair color system and I have grays in the top-front as well and I don't want those grays to come back so quick lol
Love you Whitney!
Ive recently just kind of fallen out of love with coconut oil anyway. Id been using a coconut conditioner that was just ok, not great, and then a few weeks ago I ended up trying an argan oil conditioner for my cowashing instead, and its been like magic for my hair. Soft, silky, manageable hair that holds its curl pattern and hangs well because im also only cowashing now and using an easy olive oil sealer i still have left over. I think argan might be that magic oil everyone's looking for. I couldnt recommend it more.
Yasssss! Thanks for this video Whit! I was one of the people who asked what youve been using🙈🙈 thanks for taking ur time to make this vid! You rock at connecting with us💜
Thank you so much, everybody thought I was crazy when I said I am allergic to coconut. I am already using Camille Rose Jai butter and Trader Joes Tea Tree, shampoo, conditioner, and shower. I found that I can use Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Seal it up Hydrating Sealing butter, everything else I use is DIY. This video and the Prepoo video are really saving me and my hair.
I absolutely love the pure elements mask. it's very moisturizing and not expensive! it was a great find.
Have you ever tried Lush Products?? I'm obsessed with the avocado cowash, and the hair custard!!! 😊😊😊😊💕💕💕💕💕
Girl yes bomb! I love them and they smell so good
have u tried their hot oil treatments?
First I must say great video!!!😃 I also have to tell you that I've made your Black Soap for myself and for friends and family, and they love it!!! They're trying to get me to sell it, but I will not for two reasons. For starters it's not my recipe, and that sounds like too much work,(I'm married with three children all under ten years old, in which two are girls with long full hair, I have one on the way, and I work. Ain't nobody got time for that. Lol😂😂😂, but I will continue to make it because I like making things when I have the time. Thanks to you I love Cupuacu Butter! I want to know how you store your Mango and Cupuacu Butter recipe. I plan to make this for friends as well. Once again I thank you soooo much for your videos. Keep up the good work!!!😉
This was definitely helpful! My hair doesn't like coconut oil either, and I have been trying to find products to use without coconut oil. Thanks, Whitney! :)
I've seen mostly all these products before. Very helpful video!
Giovanni products are
really good has a nice price and USDA certified organic ✌✌❤❤❤
Dominique Love Giovanni products have been my ride or die for 5 years.And I can get the big bottles with the pumps from TJ Maxx or Marshalls cheap. And the penny pincher loves the fact that they always come with a $2.00 off coupon attached I can use immediately 🙌🏾😂
I love them too
Finally! Thank you thank you! I have been looking for a safe conditioner for my daughter who is protein sensitive!
Your hair looks great Whitney!
Thanks for the video. Im also one of many that cant use coconut oil so getting a list of products to try is very helpful. Thanks again and hair looks beautiful as usual 😊
Could you possibly do one for Shea Butter? I think that I am allergic and it's nearly impossible for me to find any non-diy products. I just purchased some ingredients to make my mango butter, so I'm super excited about that! Love your channel btw!!
So are you still growing your hair out? Or are you sticking with the lob? :) Thanks!
Your hair honestly looks so different (In a good way) since you've stopped using coconut oil. Also you're one of my favorite youtubers❤
As far as your shea butter goes if you're trying to find a way to use it...maybe try it as a body lotion/cream. I've found that, while my hair hates coconut oil, I can use it on my skin and it makes it super soft.
No coconut oil for me. I follow the hydration method for low porosity. Love it. Thanks for more produces without coconut oil in it.
Hi Whitley :) First and foremost I wanted to say your videos are awesome I watch them all the time. I just wanted to ask you if you sell any of your Dyi products? I really miss making my own but my schedule is always super hectic :(
The almond jai butter also has no glycerin which means very little shrinkage.
Hey Nap! This info about the alternative products has been awesome. My daughter had a similar experience. I also noticed her hair sheds less if kept straight with a weekly flat iron. Go figure! Anyway, I noticed you don't use Olive Oil, is there a reason why? Appreciate you and take care! 👍🏾
Will you be doing am updated co-wash video now that you stopped coconut oil? Would be so helpful to see what to do to detangle instead; don't like to use over counter products.
