Yup Use the MTG at the roots and the CO on the rest of the hair. A condiment squeeze bottle, like this http://www.kitchenfantasy.com/images/squeeze.jpg
will really save you on MTG and get it right down in the roots. If it's not on the roots, it's not doing any good.
Hey! Since you're the coconut oil queen, I thought I'd ask you my question..... Is it okay for me to use C.O. AND MTG at the same time on my horses tail???
