6. Coconut Junkie.





Let's talk coconut oil!

I don't know when or how coconut oil became so popular but I am thankful that I jumped on the wave. You better believe that my hair, skin and life is popping severally all thanks to coconut oil.
I love how versatile it is. I use it; on my hair, as my lotion, lip balm and I cook with it too. I remember reading a post on tumblr that was advertising people to put a teaspoon of coconut oil in their tea and drink it 😕. Coconut oil shouldn't be taken THAT seriously! It's really not that deep b. I personally would never advise to anyone literally drink oil that's a bit mad but each to their own. 
 I'm going to derail just for a bit; but I've noticed a lot of 'naturalisas'
like to do the most, they love going above and beyond when it's not necessary. An example would be; when a friend sent me a picture of a woman using baby poop as a hair mask 🙁🙁🙁excuse me ? You cannot be surus. You cayynnntt be suruss. Wanting long and healthy hair shouldn't make you do crazy things. If you've ever thought of putting baby poo in your hair, please erase that memory from your mind ASAP. That's not cute. I feel like it's because of extreme procedures like what I've stated above that allows people to mock the "natural hair movement ".

Anyways back to Coconut oil. what are the benefits ?
  • Moisturises your hair and scalp.
  • Anti-fungal and gets rid of dandruff 
  • Protects your hair from losing protein when washing, which results in thicker hair.
  • Contains vitamin E and Lauric acid, both essential for strong healthy hair and prevents hair loss.
  • Gives your hair healthy shine 
  • Slows hair loss 
  • Makes your skin really soft 
  • It can increase your energy expenditure helping you burn more fat.
I think we can all agree that coconut oil is simply amazing! and if you haven't tried it yet please do, you can find it Paks or any other beauty supply stores, as well as super markets for a very decent price. Give it a go for a few weeks then let me know how it goes. x
