Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Otherwise, you’re only a hair away from split ends, frizz, and breakage. Opt for an intensive overnight treatment if your average conditioner isn’t cutting it.
Invest big money in shampoo and save in deep conditioners, who is a believer in the reparative properties of coconut oil. “It’s the heaviest of oils and can penetrate two layers of the hair shaft.” Take a tablespoon of coconut oil, warm it in the microwave, massage into damp hair, and sleep on it. Wear a shower cap and lay a towel on your pillow to prevent a greasy mess. In the morning, shampoo it out.
Only use coconut oil on dry and damaged areas, which typically occur from the midshaft to the end.
If you have finer hair, pick a lighter oil, like olive or avocado, as coconut oil can weigh strands down.
Start with an oil-based conditioner, like Creme of Nature Professional Argan Oil Intensive Conditioning Treatment, 20 Ounce
