coco loco

i've written my praises for coconut oil once before and i'm about to do it again. as a hair treatment, the oil is still working wonders. i try to keep most products out of my hair, only using a morroccan oil out of the shower and a smoothing product while my hair is still wet. the coconut oil goes on only when my hair is fairly dirty and ready for a washing the next day. leaving it in overnight is great and after it washes out, my hair feels smooth and shiny!!

lately i've also been experimenting with coconut oil as an overnight moisturizer on my face. its worked wonderfully. i have been washing my face less (only at night with a cream-based sensitive cleanser) and moisturizing more. seems as though the older i get, the more moisture my skin needs. it helps clear up breakouts and keeps my skin relaxed and fresh. in the morning i don't even need to cleanse, which keeps my skin even clearer of products. natural is always better!!!

i've been trying to grow my hair out for a while now and my stylist recently gave me some advice to keep the hairs healthy. refined coconut oil - the kind used for cooking - helps restore and moisturize your hair, keeping it healthy as it grows. a little bit goes a long way; i use it only on the ends (any further towards the scalp/roots your hair will feel really greasy) and i use it the overnight, before i am going to wash my hair the next day. its like magic!
