Coconut Oil Is THE Very Best!
by Chloie
I have hair that became curly and dry after having my son 8 years ago. I love the outdoor summer months here in the Northwest. They are the only sunny and dry times to play outdoors. Swimming, buzzing around in the convertible, camping, riding quads... All are so much fun, but the wind and the sun damage that added to my already dry hair meant I would have to cut my hair short every fall. Enter Coconut Oil! Now, I take 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and melt it in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until melted and warm, but NOT hot. I divide my hair into sections and work it into each section. My next step is to work it into my scalp. Once it is worked in, I cover my head with a cheap plastic shower cap (I've used a plastic grocery bag in a pinch also.). I let it set for about an hour while I do other things around the house. I wash and condition as usual and my hair is awesome for about a week! No more frizzies, no more knots and snarls, and my curls are not weighed down. They have great definition and have bouncy freedom. I just went to the salon today and guess what? My hair is still between my shoulders! I had a normal 1/2" trim for the first time in years! Coconut oil is a true gift and I cannot recommend its use enough! |
