I have recently rediscovered how
amazing coconut oil is. I love it! It is great to use on your body as a
moisturizer though it is a little sticky and (surprise, surprise) oily. My
favorite way to use it is to put it on the ends of my hair while it is dry for
a few hours and then wash it out. You could do this overnight, but it might get
a little messy. I typically do it on a weekend when I'm just around the house
cleaning or sometimes I'll put it in before I workout. It makes your hair feel
so soft and look so shiny. You do need to make sure to wash your hair really
well afterwards though. It will definitely weigh your hair down if you don't do
a good deep clean afterwards. Don't worry the benefits won't all be washed down
the drain as long as you aren't using a crazy strong shampoo. Just thought I
would tell y'all about this since I have started doing it again recently. I
also went to my hairdresser a week ago to get some highlights and she commented
on how nice my hair was. We didn't even trim it. Give it a try if you haven't
ever used it. Just make sure you buy virgin coconut oil at the store (I prefer
to buy organic too, but that's up to you).
P.S. I will be going on a trip for
the next two weeks, so I won't be posting, but I have plans for different
travel related posts to put up when I get back.
