“Can you see it?”
” See what?”
“You’re dull, lifeless and not soft anymore.”
That’s the conversation I would have with my hair prior to finding this treatment but this treatment has brought life back to my fine, parched processed hair.
So I think it important to share what I have found to really work in bringing softness back to over processed and dehydrated hair.
Coconut Oil !!! It should really have its own shelf in the hair section of the supermarket. Everyone should have this in their bathroom as a hair treatment, it’s cheap, easy to use and works.
Here’s how I use it as a pre shampoo treatment .
What you’ll need:
- Unrefined cold pressed organic coconut oil (I have used refined coconut oil and it doesn’t make my hair feel as soft) ——> https://www.melrosehealth.com.au/products/OIL%20073 I really like this brand and have been using it for 5 years.
- Hair sectioning clips
- A hair tie
- Plastic bag (optional)
- Towel head wrap (optional) https://www.priceline.com.au/toiletries/bathroom-basics/bath-accessories/plush-hair-turban-1.0-ea
How to apply your pre coconut oil treatment.
- Section your hair – I find it easier to section it into three parts – (the back, and two sides) – secure with hair clips
- Then with clean hands grab a teaspoon of coconut oil and melt it in your hands.
- Remove a section of hair from the hair clip and spread the oil from the ends of the hair to the mid lengths. ( If your hair is particularly long use 2-3 teaspoons worth of coconut oil and less if it is shorter) Repeat on all sections of the hair.*
- Then give your scalp a mini one minute massage this is great for circulation and helps with hair growth.
- Twist hair up into a bun and tie with a hair tie.
- Leave for a minimum of 1 hour. ♥
- Wash out by using shampoo on the hair first so it grabs to the excess oil and then add water to wash out. You may need to follow with a second shampoo before using conditioner and a hair masque.
- Style as usual
*If your hair is extremely dehydrated and has gone through some major colour and heat damage, then apply the coconut oil all the way up to the roots coating the hair thoroughly .
♥ If you decide to leave this in for longer or sleep with it in then wrap a plastic bag around your head and cover with a hair towel. This prevents the oil leaking onto your pillow case and gives you a très chic look 
Keep those naturals oils on your head as long as possible so I recommend only washing your hair once or twice a week and doing this oil treatment either every time you wash if your hair is highly dehydrated and processed or once a week if your hair is in a normal to dehydrated condition.
Your hair will feel soft and look shiny, this is probably the best hair treatment that really penetrates the hair and helps the hair feel soft again. If you want a blend of oils in your hair, then I recommend the Hello Hair Mask http://hellohair.com.au/products/hello-hair-hydrating-mask they have some great oils for your hair almond , argan, castor and also my favourite coconut oil :).
Let me know if you have any questions or how you have found coconut oil working for you.
