Deep Conditioning With Coconut Oil

I've been deep conditioning my hair with coconut oil every week for about 3 months now and boy oh boy has it been making a huge difference!  I was never really into using natural products, but I'm so glad I gave this a go.  After deep conditioning with coconut oil I've noticed that my split ends are a lot less noticeable and my hair has been growing a lot faster... overall my hair looks so much healthier!  I prefer to use the organic virgin coconut oil from Trader Joe's, but I'm sure any coconut oil would work as long as it's virgin or extra virgin (meaning its unrefined and therefor has its benefits without the addition of chemicals).  I do have to warn you though that this oil hardens in cooler temperatures, so if you do try this I suggest holding a blow drier to your head or sitting in front of your portable heater for a bit right before you wash it out.  The best thing about this oil is that its the only oil to penetrate your hair shaft even after being washed out!  

How I use Coconut Oil to deep condition my hair:

1) Put as much Coconut oil as you think your hair needs depending on the length (I have mid length hair and I use about 2 big spoon fulls) into a bowl.

2) Heat the Coconut Oil for about 30 seconds or until it liquifies (you dont want to get it too hot or it'll burn your scalp!).

3) Apply the Oil root to tip until you have covered all of your hair. 

4) Let it sit in your hair for 30 mins - 1 hour.

5) Shampoo and Condition as normal (you might have to shampoo twice if you feel as though your hair is still oily).

6) Enjoy your beautiful healthy hair and let me know if you see a difference after doing it for a few weeks! 

I hope this works for you as well as it did for me!

Love Always,
