The Any Oil in Your Kitchen Treatment

Stop what you’re doing and go check what oils you have in your kitchen.  Almost, any oil you use to cook your food can also be good for your hair. Beware

Vegetable oil though, it has a ridiculous amount of triglycerides which is no bueno for your hair.  But pretty much almost all other oils already in your kitchen are game. So, grab canola oils, extra virgin olive oils, and unrefined coconut oils and let’s get to giving your strands what they need. Feel free to use one oil or mix them together for even more benefits.

EVOO is one of the most common household oils. Its delicious, nutritious and high in antioxidants.  When used in your natural hair, this oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties to it.

UNREFINED COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil is quickly becoming another household staple because is has tremendous benefits. This is my favorite oil, hands down because it protects the protein in your natural hair and it penetrates the hair shaft quickly, which makes sealing moisture easy.
