What does it do for you?

The Body Shop's Coconut Oil Brilliantly Nourishing Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil is a luxurious treatment that transforms dry, damaged hair into silky, manageable locks with just one application. This rich coconut hair oil deeply penetrates the hair shaft, delivering intense moisture where your hair needs it most, whilst creating a protective barrier that helps prevent further damage from washing and styling.

Featuring our cherished Community Fair Trade organic virgin coconut oil from Samoa paired with nourishing soya oil from Brazil, this pre-shampoo treatment works wonders for all hair types. The lightweight formula won't weigh your hair down, yet provides powerful conditioning that lasts. Whether you apply this coconut oil for the hair before shampooing, leave it on overnight, or use it to tame flyaways, you'll notice the difference from the very first use.

  • Strengthens hair from root to tip, reducing breakage and split ends with regular use
  • Deeply conditions dry, brittle strands, restoring moisture balance with coconut oil for the hair
  • Improves hair manageability and reduces frizz, making styling easier and more effective
  • Adds a natural, healthy shine without greasy residue
  • Creates a delightful sensory experience with its tropical coconut scent that lingers subtly throughout the day

How to use

  1. Massage the coconut oil into hair at least five minutes before cleansing.
  2. Leave on as an overnight treatment and wash out in the morning.
  3. Apply coconut oil onto clean hair to nourish dry ends.
  4. Use our coconut hair oil 2–3 times a week to maintain smooth, healthy hair. For best results, follow with your favourite shampoo and conditioner.

Reviews

"Its ok - you need to wash your hair with shampoo 3 times to actually get it all out otherwise it still feels oily. Yes I only use a small bit ( 10cents size)."

Kylie (3/5)

Excellent first impression

"I’ve only used this a couple of times but so far my hair is absolutely improving!"

Desi C. (5/5)

A staple in my hair routine

"I have used this for years and keep rebuying. I slather my hair in it for 5 mins (mostly the ends and my frizzy sides) and then shampoo and condition. It has a fresh coconut smell rather than the sickly sweet smell of some coconut hand creams, etc. I think it makes a difference in how shiny my hair looks and how it helps reduce frizz."

Kellie D. (5/5)

Amazing oil!!!

"Smells so good and leaves my hair super soft and shiny after i wash it. I also feel like it’s helped my hair grow longer"

T (5/5)

Perfect

"I love Coconut it fits my hair!"

Flor (5/5)

Great oil

"Makes hair really soft and manageable!"

Palak (5/5)

My perm owes this product so much gratitude.

"Most styling products that I have tried looked nice in the morning but became crispy and dry later in the day; they also damaged my hair in the long-run; and some are obscenely expensive. This is my product. I use it as a leave-in treatment to style my curls - I have a perm so they need a lot of extra love - and it keeps them smooth, shiny, and free-flowing all day. They also come out of the shower baby-soft. I don’t need to use much of this oil to have an effect, so it is definitely cost-effective too! It does have drawbacks! Being oil, you must wash it off before bed, else it will leave stains on your pillowcases (a brief, warm evening shower is fine) and it has an odd metallic scent when applied. I am unsure if this goes away when it dries, but I do wish that The Body Shop fixed its formula and/or offered other varieties than just coconut."

Cody (3/5)

Q&A

Frequently Asked
Questions

What are the benefits of using the Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil?

Our Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil helps restore moisture and shine to dry, dull hair. It's enriched with Community Fair Trade coconut oil from Samoa, known for its intensely nourishing properties that help tame frizz and reduce breakage. Regular use leaves hair feeling softer, looking healthier and smelling deliciously tropical.

What hair types is this pre-shampoo hair oil suitable for?

This pre-shampoo hair oil is ideal for dry, damaged or frizzy hair that needs extra nourishment and hydration. It's especially beneficial for hair that's prone to breakage or has become brittle from heat styling, colouring or environmental factors. All hair textures can benefit from this oil, though those with finer hair may want to use it more sparingly.

How can I incorporate your Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil into my existing hair care routine?

Apply this nourishing oil to dry hair before shampooing, focusing on mid-lengths to ends where hair tends to be driest. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight for an intensive treatment, then wash out with your regular shampoo and conditioner. For particularly dry hair, you can also use a small amount on damp hair after washing as a leave-in treatment to tame flyaways.

How often should I use this hair oil?

We recommend using this pre-shampoo treatment once or twice a week for normal to dry hair. For very dry or damaged hair, you might benefit from more frequent application, up to three times weekly. Adjust usage based on your hair's needs and response to the product.

Can I use the Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil on coloured hair?

Yes, our Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil is suitable for coloured hair and may actually help preserve your colour. The nourishing properties help seal the hair cuticle, which can reduce colour fade while improving the overall appearance of treated hair. For best results, apply to dry hair before shampooing and allow time for the oil to penetrate before washing out.

Is the Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil vegan?

Yes, our Coconut Oil Pre-Shampoo Hair Oil is 100% vegan. Like all products at The Body Shop, it contains no animal-derived ingredients and has never been tested on animals. We're proud to be certified by The Vegan Society, so you can enjoy beautifully nourished hair with complete peace of mind.
