Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Fast drying formula
Won't leave your skin too wet or sticky for hours like some self tanners do
Pro Lasts up to 2 weeks
With daily use for 3 days, colour can last up to 2 weeks
Pro Can either be used on its own or mixed with moisturiser
The serum can either be applied directly to the skin on it's own or you can mix a few drops with your regular moisturiser for a gradual build up of colour
Pro Easy to find
Coconut oil is sold in most grocery stores, health stores and bulk food stores.
Pro Affordable
Compared to most other hair-friendly oil products, coconut oil is by far one of the cheapest options.
Pro Ideal over night treatment
Coconut oil is deeply conditioning and helps repair damaged hair. Leaving in a coconut oil treatment overnight can really help improve the health of your hair.
Pro Helps tame frizz
Pro Natural sunscreen
Coconut oil can help protect your scalp against sunburn and hair against sun damage, with an SPF of 8.
Pro Good for dandruff
Treating your scalp with coconut oil can help kill fungus and bacteria that causes dandruff, and moisturizes the skin. This in turns benefits the health of your hair, as dandruff can cause damage to the strands as well as hair loss.
Cons
Con Colourless formula makes it easy to miss areas and look patchy
As this tan is a clear serum it would be very easy to unknowingly miss areas on your body and end up with a patchy tan. Probably not a good option for tanning novices due to this!
Con Can be difficult to wash out
May require more shampoo than other treatments (as an oil, it's insoluble), which may strip off all the hard work.
Con Can weigh down hair
Coconut oil is quite heavy. It will weight down your hair and cause it to look greasy if you use even a little too much.
