As Winter comes to an end, for most of us at least, it is time to undo what those cold months have done to our hair. Why not treat your tresses to a moisturising shine enhancing hair wrap!
Coconut oil has been in the media lately as a great health food, boasting its multitude of benefits for physical ailments, and while I am definitely not an advocate of scarfing spoonfuls of this gunk (more on that on another post), it is an age old beauty tool used to treat dry damaged hair and strengthen your locks.
On a side note, coconut oil is a very heavy oil, note that it is solid at room temperature, and can be hard on your pores and follicles, so when applying it to your hair, try not to smush it into your scalp as this can clog your follicles and have a negative effect. Concentrate on the shaft and those pesky split ends.
Set aside 2 hours for yourself, as this is how long you need to sit with the oil on your hair.
You may need to warm the oil up as it should be a pourable consistency, and massage it into damp hair, focusing again, on the ends of your hair. Wrap you hair in a towel, or put one of those free shower caps you get from the hotels on your head (classy), wait two hours, perfect time for a movie, and let the oil do its work.
Wash your hair out as you would normally, avoid heat styling if at all possible. You can repeat this treatment once a week, as time permits.
