Maybe you have already heard about the benefits of the oil coconut for hair.
Well this morning, I decided to give myself a present, a little thing just for me !
I named:THE revitalizing hair mask based on coconut oil! It's not the kind of treatment I do very often.
But here it is:this time, I thought it was really time to try a new recipe to revitalize my tired hair .
So I gave myself some time to find an effective trick to come to the rescue of my poor hair all flattened and tangled :-)
And I must admit that at first, applying this mask is a little strange feeling … but I simply loved the result!
I warn you right away:to try this revitalizing hair treatment is to adopt it for life !
And what's more, this recipe is super simple:only 3 small ingredients to mix, and the trick is played! Watch:
- 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of organic jojoba oil
- 3 drops of essential oil of your choice (personally, I used peppermint essential oil and it smells SUPER good!!!)
1. Before you start, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature (especially coconut oil, which should have a thick, creamy texture).
2. Put two tablespoons of coconut oil in a bowl and start mixing. The heat generated by the movement will make the coconut oil more smooth and malleable .
3. Add a tablespoon of jojoba oil and continue mixing, until the jojoba oil is fully incorporated with coconut oil.
4. Add 3 drops of essential oil of your choice.
5. Keep mixing the three ingredients until you get a thick and oily mixture. .
1. To use your revitalizing mask, apply the mixture directly to your hair, from the hairline to the tips .
2. Take care to cover all the driest areas of your hair.
3. Then tie your hair with a clip.
4. Cover your hair with a shower cap, ideally a self-heating shower cap.
If you don't have a shower cap, no big deal. You can also use a plastic bag . But I warn you:it's much less glamorous;-)
5. Keep your hair covered for 15-30 min.
For best results, use a hair dryer to warm your hair during the first 5-10 min.
6. Once the treatment is finished, wash your hair with your usual shampoo and conditioner.
To make the most of all its benefits, do this treatment once a week .
Wait, it's not over! :-)
Now that you have prepared your revitalizing hair mask, try this homemade detangling treatment! Just add a little water!
And trust me, this treatment does pure wonders on the hair.
- 1 part Revitalizing Coconut Oil Mask (easy, you just made it!)
- 10 volumes of water.
- 1 spray bottle
1. Put one part conditioning mask and ten parts water in a spray bottle.
2. Shake vigorously.
3. After your shampoo, spray a little of this conditioner on your wet hair, while combing it.
4. For an ideal result, I recommend using a wide-toothed comb.
FYI, after trying these two treatments and washing my hair, I didn't immediately notice a difference.
It's because my hair was still wet. After drying them, I clearly saw a real difference.
Now my hair is softer , smoother and brighter . I can't help but run my fingers through my hair :-)
This treatment is therefore perfect for straightening hair and for frizzy hair. Of course, this treatment is effective on any hair color (blonde, brown and chestnut).
This recipe calls for a few drops of essential oil. Therefore, do a test on your own skin before applying this treatment on your hair.
To do this, simply apply 1-2 drops of essential oil to a small area of your skin, to avoid an allergic reaction . It's a good precaution to take — especially if you have children :-)
