Coconut oil treatment.

It has been quite a while since my last post, but I just havn't tested anything since. And suddenly last week I felt like testing something again! I've heard some VERY good thinks about coconut-oil treatments for the hair. I've tried it before, and I put WAY WAY WAY too much oil in my hair, I've had greasy hair for daaays :') So if you'd want to try this, please god, don't use too much :P

But now I know how much to use, I am very excited. I wasn't expecting much since all these natural-wonder-kindof-things never work for me. But this time; WOOOOOW! My hair felt SO incredibly soft! So I want to share this with you guys, while having coconut in my hair as I type!

So, this is what I use. I bought it in one of those very small foreign shops in Holland, they usually have strange vegetables outside their shop :P And as you can see, it's not expensive at all! You do need 100% pure coconut oil. So a shampoo/serum/whatever with just some coconut in it, won't give these awesome results. Don't use coconut-milk either; just 100% PURE COCONUT OIL!


It is not liquid so to use it, it needs to liquify. Some people just take a small piece out (they would have a jar, not a bottle) and just rub it in their hands until it liquifies. I just put the bottle onder some hot water for a minute and there you go :) Next step is just to pour a little bit into your palm and get your hands all greasy. And just.. rub it into your dry hair, I usually start with gently touching parts of my hair just to make sure the oil's not only on one spot.

And I've read it doesn't really matter how long you leave it in there, the longer the better of course but my first time I left it for half an hour, and the results already were amazing! Now I'll leave it for a few hours.

The coconut oil I use. There also are
some versions out there in a jar :)
Hope you can see it, it's still solid!

Just like that. Some hot water running over it.

Tadaah, Liquid! It's ok if there still are some solid
pieces in there, you don't need all of it
anyway.

This is much I use. My hair is quite long,
so with shorter hair, start using a bit less!

My greasy hand. Lousy photo though, didn't
wanted my camera to become greasy :P
