COCONUT OIL DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT
What you’ll need:- Organic virgin coconut oil (I like Tropical Traditions Gold Label)
- Rosemary and/or Lavender essential oil (optional)
- A shower cap
- Hair dryer (optional)
Scoop out a generous amount of coconut oil into a small bowl (approximately 1/2 cup depending on how much hair you have) and (if desired) add a total of 8 drops Rosemary and/or Lavender essential oil.
Rosemary: Cleanses, strengthens and nourishes hair follicles and encourages growth.
Lavender: Antibacterial but also enhances the properties of Rosemary for improved cell regeneration and better penetration. Beneficial for dandruff too!
Scoop up a handful of the coconut oil and begin to massage into your hair, beginning at the ends. No need to heat the oil, it will melt as you massage it into your hair. Use more oil where your hair is the driest and most damaged (typically on the ends) and less where your hair is healthiest (mid-shaft and scalp area).
Cover your hair with a shower cap.
Now you have two options:
Allow the oil to sit on your hair for 20-30 minutes after application (for very dry or porous hair you can leave the oil on longer).
OR
To increase the effectiveness of the treatment, cover with a shower cap and apply heat with a hair dryer for 15 minutes.
