For my PTs, I dampen my hair with a spray bottle, apply the treatment and cover with one of those clear cheap shower caps, to use the heat from my head instead of a dryer. After half an hour to an hour I jump in the shower and wash my hair as usual. So IMO, you do rinse it out.

How much coconut oil did you use? Some ppl just don't react well to it, I've nerver tried it myself but in general I never use more than 10 - 15 drops of any oil or it wears my hair down.

I used a LOT. I rubbed it all through my hair. I used a jar that I usually use for my sons eczema so it was hard until I rubbed it through my hair. So I coated it in it and left it for hours. I have very processed hair (recent highlights and straightening for the last 10 years). Maybe it was too much.
