Coconut Oil!


This is a great oil! It has so many wonderful properties. Coconut oil is staple in Indian haircare for glossy, strong hair! It cools the scalp whilst being a GREAT conditioner for hair.
Regular use of this oil strengthens the hair: coconut oil can penetrate into the hair shaft more than any other oil. It is able to penetrate 90% into the hairshaft where olive oil can only boast 25%. It aslo protects the hair against protein loss. Studies have shown that coconut oil use can reduce hair fall by up to 50%!
It also makes the hair softer, meaning more manageable hair.

I love coconut oil, obviously and I buy it by the bucket load! I've noticed it helped with sealing my moisture in after washing my hair but also added something EXTRA when mixed into my deep conditioning treatments.
I am currently using it in lieu of deep conditioning treatments every week to see what it can do for my hair.

To use it, simply warm it up a bit and apply some to the roots and tips of your hair. Leave overnight and shampoo in the morning. You will see results also when it is used as the final step in you hair moisturizing routine. Use a leave-in and then "seal" it in with a dime-size of coconut oil.
