Longer and Stronger Hair With a Coconut Oil Treatment Spa

Is your hair brittle and dry, never seeming to grow any longer no matter how you wait and hope? Well this just might help you grow a luscious lock of hair.

What you need to start is 100% pure coconut oil, a tablespoon, a large bowl to contain hot water, a smaller bowl to contain the oil and a small towel to wrap around your head. I personally use Parachute brand coconut oil, it's cheap and great, but you are free to use anything you can find easily. For shoulder length hair, slightly less than 2 tablespoons of coconut oil should suffice. Measure the amount of coconut oil required and pour this into the smaller bowl. Then place it into the bigger bowl, which should have been filled with hot water. Use the spoon to stir the oil around a bit to let it heat up.

When the oil is warm, carefully spoon some up and drip along your parting, massaging your scalp as you do so. Sweep your hair over to expose a different part of the scalp and repeat. Do this until your whole scalp is covered in the oil. You don't really have to apply a lot, just a few drop for each part should do. Massage your scalp for at least a minute before moving on to the rest of your hair.

Using the spoon, pour some of the remaining oil in your palm and briefly rub your hands to spread it on both palms. Then run your hands down the length of your hair, coating it with oil. Repeat this until your whole head of hair, including the inner layers, is oiled. By now, the hot water would have cooled down a little. Soak your small towel in the warm water and wring it out till it's damp. Then pile your hair on top of your head and wrap the towel firmly in place. This gives your hair a sort of spa or steaming effect, promoting blood circulation to the head.

After 1 hour, remove the towel and proceed to wash and shampoo your hair. Be sure to shampoo properly after this treatment or you'll end up with an oily scalp. I do this about twice a week and it provides such a good environment for hair growth that I have to trim my fringe about once every 3 weeks to maintain it. Before I could even go months without trimming!
