Growing up my mom always used to put Coconut Oil in my hair once a week to keep it in tip top shape and as I moved out on my own I gave up this practice however in the last year I have started alternating Coconut Oil with Amla Oil every other week as an additional Hair Treatment. I live and work in a Private Game Reserve and our water is bore hole water with a very high lime content which I has found leeches all the nutrients out of my hair leaving it dry, brittle and prone to breaking. Since introducing these oils into my routine my hair has never been softer and the new growth since then is so shiny and healthy! To use I massage it into my scalp and leave it overnight washing it out the next morning to leave my hair feeling and looking divine!
