So as much as I read about the wonderfulness of coconut oil and how it penetrates the hair shaft and leaves hair shiny and soft and great even after a shampoo but I also hear that with locs it's not really so good to use coconut oil because it can lead to backup and I'm not wanting to take the risk right now.

Since coconut milk is liquid regardless of temperature would it be a better option to use on locs? Does it have the same benefits as coconut oil?

Thanks in advance everyone. I'm just thinking a lot and trying to get my warmer weather hair care/hair growth game together.
