FIGHT FRIZZ ON THE GO
After prepping and primping for an important meeting or big date, your image can be completely derailed by frizzy, unmanageable locks that look nothing like you planned. Humidity, heat, wind, and rain can wreak havoc on your tresses and cause frizz for even the most manageable hair. You can’t control the weather, so what to do when you’re trying to look your best but need to be prepared for the worst?
IF YOU’RE AWARE OF HIGH HUMIDITY OR RAIN IN THE FORECAST, TURN TO COCONUT OIL FOR A QUICK, NATURAL SOLUTION.
1⁄2 teaspoon of coconut oil for short hair and up to 1 teaspoon for long, thick hair
Evenly distribute the oil on the ends and throughout your hair prior to heat treating and styling, to prevent frizz before it starts.
Stash a mini-bottle of coconut oil in your purse, your car, or your desk drawer to treat those pesky flyaway strands and bouts of the frizzies any time they strike. Simply warm 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon of coconut oil in your hands and lightly apply it to your trouble areas. This effective, on-the-go frizz-fighter is natural and free of damaging chemicals, and leaves your hair smooth, shiny, and luxurious.
ADD ESSENTIAL OILS TO BOOST BENEFITS
To boost coconut oil’s benefits and customize your hair treatment, try blending in a few drops of essential oil. Chamomile oil is good for dry, brittle hair, and an after-shampoo rinse of chamomile tea brings out highlights in blond hair. Lavender oil stimulates hair growth and helps ease the itching associated with dandruff. If your hair is oily, combine lemon oil with coconut oil or add lemon oil to your favorite shampoo.
