Nuts for Coconuts!!!

Coconut oil that is! We all experience a phase where our skin and hair get way too dry and become hard to manage, leaving skin cracked and hair falling out. And with winter approaching, we need a solution! Read on to find out how I manage to treat my dry scalp and skin.

I'm always all for any natural and non-chemical products, especially on delicate skin and hair. I've used coconut oil on my skin for years and find it truly nourishes my skin throughout the day, of course I love that natural glow and shine it gives off as well. After trying it on my skin, I decided to give it a go on on my hair. Over three weeks I tried this easy three step treatment:

- Once weekly, I soaked my hair in a generous amount of coconut oil overnight and wrapped in a silk head wrap after shampooing and conditioning.

- The next day, I rinsed off excess coconut oil with warm water, leaving just enough in my hair for moisture, then blew it out and styled.

- On a daily basis, I applied a normal amount of coconut oil and styled hair.

My hair line has slowly improved, and my hair has grown back thicker and stronger in twice the time it usually takes after cutting it all off 4 months back, it feels thoroughly moisturized and shines throughout the day!

For those who want to get a little creative, bottle it up into smaller bottles for easier use and application. Show your hair some love and try it!
