Frizz Fixer : DIY Coconut Oil
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Natural makeup artist, Kat Feldhouse recommends using coconut oil as an amazing leave-in conditioning treatment.
"It hydrates really parched beach hair and is great for women with really fried ombre-dyed ends. Pure coconut oil gives your hair great shine, moisture, and texture thanks to its rich fatty acids and proteins,” explains Feldhouse.
Here’s how to use coconut oil as a leave-in hair treatment:
1. Scoop half a teaspoon of coconut oil, and really heat it up in your palms. Then grab sections of your hair, and drag the coconut oil through evenly. “A little goes a long way,” says Feldhouse. (You don’t need to apply it to your scalp unless you’re dealing with dandruff or a sunburn or your hair really needs the added nourishment.)
2. Then go over your hair with a wide-toothed comb.
3. Wrap it a top knot, a cute bun, or a tight fish-tail braid, and let the heat of the summer city streets or the beach just bake it in. The longer you leave it in, the better.
Feldhouse leaves her coconut-oil-coated locks in a pretty ballerina bun all day, and changes it up at night.
“Just before going out, I’ll undo the knot, and give my hair shake. I love that I smell like the beach, and my hair has that naturally touseled beach-wave look,” says Feldhouse. Only with none of the sun-and-salt-water damage.
It shampoos out pretty easily with a good cleansing shampoo—something astringent with tea tree should do the trick, she says. “Don’t reach for one with stripping sodium lauryl sulfate. That defeats the whole purpose!”
