(Finally I got this picture to load. Behind the coconut oil you can see my very long needing to be cut Easter grass.)I tried this last week and it was wonderful. Melt 1.5 teaspoons of coconut oil in a pot; massage in hair. Leave in for at least 1 hr but preferably overnight. I protected my pillow case with a towel although I've read that coconut oil is non staining. Just to be extra careful, I did use a towel.
***PLEASE NOTE: the oil will be hot after you melt it so let it COOL first before using!!!***
You may be wondering how will you get that mess out of your hair? It was easy! Just shampoo and voila, you're done. I wanted to make sure no oils stayed in my hair so I shampooed twice. This treatment made my hair nice and soft. Gotta love it!!!
I've also started using coconut oil on my skin. If I run out of facial moisturizer, I use it. If I have a dry patch on my hand/elbow etc., I use it. It is greasy so you'll have to massage it in really well but be gentle on your skin. And a little goes a long way!
Since this oil can be used for cooking too, I store it in my pantry and I ALWAYS reach in with a spoon. This way, my oil is still clean for consumption if I choose to use it in recipes or cooking.
Till later!
I did try to add a picture 3 times and although it said pic added, it's not here :o(
