COCONUT OIL TREATMENT

Dear December...Day 1 Keeping it simple. Coconut oil treatment to add moisture and shine to my hair. I want that strength, elasticity back in my strands. To view step by step on what exactly to do, follow my other pre-poo routine ( Pre-poo for softness ). For this round, I'm only using coconut oil, about a spoonful of olive oil, shea butter, and some cinnamon oil mixture. Planning on letting it set on my hair for about an hour. Rinse, shampoo, then condition. Most likely I will dry wrap my hair to put it up in a high bun for work tomorrow.

PRE-POO RECIPE FOR MOISTURE

I slacked off but now trying to regain what worked again. Somehow I misplaced the 100% Coconut Oil I just bought. So I had to remix the pre-poo oils. I decided to use Shea Butter and Olive Oil. No matter what your ingredients are, just be sure to check your allergies. Always test a small area prior to doing your whole head. That's with any product you plan to use. This is my routine for pre-pooing hair: DO NOT COMB HAIR PUT HAIR INTO FOUR SECTIONS START WITH THE BACK SECTION SINCE THAT IS THE SECTION THAT WILL MOST LIKELY RUB AGAINST MATERIAL.  APPLY MIX TO ONE SECTION - MAKE SURE IT IS WELL THROUGH THE STRANDS - PIN THAT SECTION UP AFTER APPLICATION REPEAT FOR THE REMAINING THREE SECTIONS PLACE A SHOWER CAP OR PLASTIC BAG OVER HAIR DECIDE IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO UNDER THE DRYER FOR 20 MINUTES  OR WEAR THE SHOWER CAP ...
