This weekend we had a holiday party, and probably 90% of the women there were natural or transitioning to natural. Of course, many of the female conversations were about hair! One of my friends who went natural about a year ago, and has beautiful, healthy, color-treated hair, told me that coconut oil has really helped. I complained that I still haven't found a product that my hair absorbs, and she told me that coconut oil is the only thing her hair really drinks in. For her, it's best as a pre-poo before she shampoos her hair. I knew I needed to wash my hair the next day, so I decided to give the coconut oil another try. I applied a generous amount from root to tip, put on a plastic cap and a satin scarf and went to bed. I planned to wash my hair in the morning, but our water heater died, and I didn't get to wash my hair until later in the afternoon. So the coconut oil was in my hair for over 12 hours. When I took the plastic cap off, my hair definitely looked moist, but it also looked like it had some weight, which I wanted- to me, that meant that the oil was penetrating into my hair. I co-washed my hair and deep conditioned with Aubrey Organics GPB. After I rinsed, I applied a dime-sized amount of Curly Kinky Knot Today Leave-In and sprayed aloe vera juice all over. I twisted my hair with Ecostyler gel. When I took the twists out this morning, my hair was moist and shiny:
I definitely think the shine came from the coconut oil and aloe vera gel. I'm going to continue to pre-poo with the coconut oil. When it worked for me before, after a couple of months my hair got to a state where I didn't have to use it every week. I'm hoping this will happen again.
I'm really happy about my growth. Can you see my black tips from the color I had put in in May? I can't wait to get rid of them. That part is so much frizzier and hard to manage than the rest of my hair!

Hi, I've nominated you for the Liebster Award. If you're interested please check my blog for details: http://blessedwmnhairjourney.blogspot.com/
Home made remedies are good for your hair. Unless you experience some problems which require medical treatment. Your hair often indicates the state of your whole body. That is why hair problems should be first of all treated from inside out. I have strongly suffered from hairloss over years. No external solutions could help. The thought that crossed my mind is that the issue cannot be tackled externally. So I started googling up pills and dietary supplements for hair loss conditions. There are at least 30 products sold on the Internet that are designated as hair loss products. Their price range is also very diverse: from very cheap to very expensive. The product that caught my attention was called Hairgain formula (90 capsules) by Military Grade Nutritionals. In about three weeks of using it, I noticed that my hair got back its natural shine and hair strands got thicker. My skin condition improved significantly. I also became more relaxed. Highly recommended product, guys.
There may be noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made sure good points in options also. mgm online casino
