Coconut Cure-all

As many of you know, our boutique is nestled in Beverly Hills on the lovely, tree lined Civic Center Drive. We love this neighborhood for many reasons, but one of them is that we are neighbors with a few of the most fabulous salons in town. 

We are always inspired by the perfected tresses on all the lovely ladies that breeze through our store, having just had an appointment at Byron & Tracey  http://www.byronandtracey.com/ or Neil George Salon http://www.neilgeorgesalon.com/. 

We have all become much more hair conscious since seeing these bevy of beauties every day, and so we have had to learn a few tricks of our own to keep up with the neighbors.

Here is a recipe for our favorite and most effective at home hair masque.

It's very simple. All you will need is a jar of organic virgin cold-pressed coconut oil, a shower cap and a small head-wrap towel (the towel is optional, but it's much easier if you do use it.)

Simply scoop out a generous amount of coconut oil and apply throughout your dry hair, concentrating on the ends. It is also fabulous for you scalp if you don't mind spending an extra bit of time shampooing it out afterward. 

Once you have really saturated your hair with the coconut oil, twist it up on top of your head, cover with the shower cap and wrap the towel around over that. 

Depending on how dry your hair is, leave it on for at least 45 minutes or up to an entire night!

(Tropical traditions is the best brand of coconut oil on the planet, http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm )

Coconut oil is the only natural oil to be proven to actually repair the hair shaft, rather than just temporarily smoothing it. It works amazingly well!

Coconut oil is also excellent for the skin (even troubled skin) as it is ultra moisturizing, reparative, anti-microbial and anti-fungal. All those properties make it an excellent supplement to take internally as well, very healing for the inside of the body! Eat 1 tbsp. each day for gorgeous hair and skin from the inside out.
