Deep Conditioning Treatment for Hair using Pure Coconut Oil

Stop paying $40 for those hot oil treatments at the salon.  For a natural, very cost-effective deep conditioning treatment for your hair, use virgin coconut oil instead.  For more information on the benefits of coconut oil as a hair product, click here

Ingredients:
  • Virgin coconut oil 
Directions:

Start with about 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil in your palm, using more or less depending on the length and thickness of your hair (I have very thick hair below my shoulders and I use about 1/2 tablespoon total).  It may take you a couple times to figure out how much you need for your particular hair type.  Spread the oil all over your palms and fingers.  Coat your hair with the oil by running your fingers through your hair, applying 1 inch from your scalp to the ends.

Leave the oil in your hair for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  You can cover your hair with a shower cap, if desired.  Wash your hair as usual.

Repeat treatment every one to two weeks, or as needed.
