The coconut oil method is a trick to prevent damages to your hair. You should always leave your roots/scalp as last thing to do, your body heat will make the bleach work faster than on the rest of your hair. You can put the bleach on your scalp but you have to be careful with it because it can cause burns and make your scalp itch. You can cut off a tiny strand of your hair or just pick a strand without cutting (maybe one in the back or in the underlayers so that you don't mind so much if it turns a weird colour) and apply some of the mix on it to see what colour you would get.
