Coconut oil for Dry Hair

You can use coconut oil as a deep conditioner.  It can be used prior to shampooing, or as an overnight conditioner.  I've found it works best to apply it to dry hair.

• Take a tablespoon or two of coconut oil (depending on how long your hair is) into your hands and rub together to melt it.  
• Rub your hands in your hair all the length of your hair.  
• Massage into scalp as well.    
• Leave on at least 15 minutes before shampooing.  
• If you are using it as an overnight conditioner, put a shower cap on your hair to protect your pillow.                      
• Shampoo out in the morning.  
• Enjoy your shiny, healthy hair!!  

There are lots of articles on how great coconut oil specifically, is the best oil for dry hair!

Another way to apply it if you are going to take a bath with coconut oil in it is to just dip your hair in the water and squeeze the excess water out.

Soft, not oily, skin

One of the best products I've found for my skin is MSM lotion.  I buy one at my local health food store, Good Earth, made by Sunstar Organics (http://www.sunstarorganics.com/935/1901/MSMLotionSunscreen/MSM-PURE--NATURAL-LOTION----UNSCENTED.html) and I believe you can order it online.  I'm loving the Berry Vanilla scented one.

One of the best features is that it's completely ALCOHOL FREE!! I've never seen another lotion that is alcohol free.  Good for moisturizing, controlling acne, and minimizing scars and stretchmarks!  Comes in unscented as well.

COCONUT MANNA

I got Coconut Manna from Nutiva, and it's delish!!! Think peanut butter, but from coconut.  They take the whole flesh of the coconut and grind it up into a smooth paste.  It has all of the coconut oil, fiber, and flesh you want. I've had it on toast and in my hot chocolate.  Others recommend putting it in smoothies! Definitely on my "to do" list!!
