Is it OK to use extra-virgin coconut oil for hair-styling on CG?

I did a clarifying shampoo a few days ago, in preparation for possibly going CG, and I applied the coconut oil instead of my usual gel(LA Looks Curl Look Gel), and wow, my hair just LOVED it! Before I applied the coconut oil, without gel, my hair is usually poofy and really needs something in it. Will the coconut oil still be good when I go CG?

It's cold-pressed, raw, organic, ethical. I use it on my skin, hair, to brush my gums, etc. It is the bomb!
