Coconut Oil For Your Great Hair

Stop using harsh chemicals on your hair and scalp your causing your hair to thin and it will start falling  out or you will get dandruff, Coconut oil works great on the hair. I have discovered the benefits of coconut oil. It’s natural, healthy and inexpensive too. And I’ll explain in this article how to use coconut oil on your hair.


 Have you ever seen pic’s of the women from the Polynesian Islands, they have long silky beautiful  hair. Yes they eat a lot of coconuts  but they also apply coconut oil to their hair.

Once you start using coconut oil or coconut butter as some people call it, you’ll no doubt want to get rid of all the expensive conditioners and creams and mousses you’re using for your hair. Coconut oil will give your hair a lot of tons of body, coconut oil will protect it and control  breakage of your hair,  and this will give you less hair thinning. Of course, many hair stylists who know about it want to keep this secret for themselves. Why because they make a ton of profit from selling hair conditioners,. But the word is slowly getting out.

Here’s how to use coconut oil as a hair conditioner,  I like to warm it up a little bit and then simply massage it into my hair right before bedtime. You can hold some in your hands for a few moments if you don’t have the means or the time to heat it. Coconut oil will melt fast. You only need about two teaspoons or so.
In the morning just shower and wash it right out. I  use organic virgin coconut oil because it is the highest  quality. When you buy coconut oil online or in a whole foods store, make sure it hasn’t been refined, bleached and deodorized. You want the unrefined kind. One way to tell if it is unrefined is to make sure it smells like coconuts, makes sence right?

For a great salon-type hair treatment you can apply the coconut oil, next put on a shower cap, and then wash it out in about an hour. If you have a dandruff problem apply one to two teaspoons to your scalp and gently massage it in. Your shampoo may be causing your dandruff so you may want to find a shampoo with fewer chemicals.

You can also use coconut oil for a shampoo but only use a little bit and mix with your regular shampoo in the palm of your hand. You can also put a tiny bit on your hair using your fingertips after you style it.
This should give you a good idea how to use coconut oil on your hair as a hair conditioner or a shampoo. You’ll save a lot of money and have the healthiest, silkiest shiniest hair you can imagine. It will look thicker too because you will be losing less hair.

How To Blow Dry Hair

Blowdryer
Blow-drying allows you to have more control over your hair, especially when you are planning to style it. How to blow dry hair does not have to be too complex. Here are tips you can follow:

Start from the roots to tips. It is common for women to blow dry only the wettest part of the hair. However, the correct way is to begin from the hair follicles to the tips of the strands.

This means you need to hold the nozzle over your head. Sometimes this may weaken the arms, particularly if they are short. If it is going to take a while to complete blow-drying, it is recommended you try to sit down.

Use a moisturizing shampoo. It is okay to shampoo your hair before blow-drying. However, if given a choice, utilize a moisturizing brand. Blow-drying uses intense heat, which may make the strands brittle, dry, and prone to breakage. The moisturizing shampoo will ensure your strands will have enough natural oil to maintain their shine and softness.

Divide the hair into different sections. You cannot blow dry your entire hair at the same time. You need to start at a particular point and move from left to right or vice versa until you can cover everything.

To make sure you can definitely dry every hair strand, divide your hair into different smaller portions. This way, you can clip the hairs you are still not blow-drying and focus your attention to a particular section only.

Make use of the brush. You need a brush to bring the hair strands much closer to the nozzle of the dryer. Find one that you can hold with a tight grip and can conveniently roll over your hair.

Practice. Blow-drying is an art. It requires patience and constant practice to perfect. Do not wait until blow-drying to know how to handle both the brush and the dryer simultaneously. At night, before you go to sleep, you can train yourself how to do the steps with more ease.

Avoid using the dryer at one section for a long time. Do not expose your hair to the nozzle for a very long period, or it will definitely burn the strands and suck out all the moisture. It is enough it removes the water out of the hair.

Maintain dampness. Leave the hair just dry enough to become more manageable. Again, you want to retain some moisture.

Taking Care of Your Hairbrush

We can spend hours reading about how to improve the look and feel of our hair, and yet so often, we neglect to learn how to take care of our hair styling instruments. What's great is that looking after your hairbrushes and combs is not difficult or unpleasant, and it takes just a few minutes a month to keep them in optimum condition. Here's a handful of tips on how to take care of your hairbrush, so that it lasts the distance and keeps your hair looking its best.

A healthy hairbrush will take you one step closer to healthy hair.

Remove old hair strands at least once a week. Keeping your hairbrush free of dead hair is the most important thing you can do when it comes to keeping it in good condition. Personally, I remove the old hair from my brush every time I use it; it's a good habit that will quickly become second nature to you once you've done it a few times.

Store your hairbrushes with the bristles facing down, in a drawer or closed cabinet. This prevents airborne dust from settling into the bristles, and later being transferred into your hair (ew!)

Don't let your friends use your hairbrush. I tend to view my hairbrush in the same way as I view my toothbrush - a personal item that is not to be used by anyone else! Letting others use your hairbrush will expose it to dirt and germs that can later be brushed right back into your own hair. Rather than having to deal with the awkwardness of refusing your friend access to your hairbrush, it's best to keep it hidden from view (see above) and offer to let her use a comb instead - a much more hygienic option.

Use each brush for its intended purpose. Some women have a big collection of hairbrushes, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.... however I find that I only need three, in addition to my wide-toothed comb. I use the comb for detangling my hair when it's wet, my rubber-cushioned vent brush with plastic spokes for detangling my hair when it's dry, and my boar bristle brush for 'polishing' my hair to a fine gloss. Occasionally, when I want to blow-dry my hair, I'll use my radial boar bristle brush, but most of the time it's tucked away in a drawer as I like to keep heat styling to an absolute minimum.

Of course, everyone's hairbrushing needs are different, so pick and choose the hair styling instruments that are right for you. There's no shortage of hairbrushes available to buy, but you won't need every single one in existence!

Just a few of the many types of combs and hairbrushes that are on the market.

Keep your brushes and combs clean. Some hairstyling experts recommend cleaning your hairbrush every week, but if you've been following the advice given above then cleaning your hairbrush once or twice a month should suffice.

To clean your boar bristle brush, remove all traces of old hair from the bristles with a comb, and place it into a bowl of warm water mixed with a small amount of shampoo. Swirl the brush around in the water and gently massage the bristles (doing it roughly will cause them to break, as they will have been weakened by the water) then leave it to soak for around twenty minutes. Rinse it thoroughly under warm water, then leave it to air-dry face down on a towel.

If your boar bristle brush has a wooden base - and many do - then soaking it is not an option, as the water will cause the wood to swell. In this instance, you need to wet the bristles with warm water and shampoo them gently, before rinsing them thoroughly under a tap. Shake off the excess water, then using your hairdryer, blow-dry the bristles and the wooden base of the hairbrush. Being touched by water won't cause the wood to swell and distort the brush, but soaking it most definitely will, so avoid this at all costs!

As for your rubber-cushioned vent brush, it is difficult to clean these with water because the water will get into the hole in the base and eventually erode it. Because of this - and the fact that the tips of the spokes get worn away with repeated use - it's best to replace these vent brushes on a yearly basis, rather than subjecting them to being cleaned with shampoo and water.

Replace your vent brush every year, to prevent worn-away spoke tips from scratching your scalp.

Cleaning combs is much easier: I just fill a bowl with warm water and half a lemon's worth of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and let it soak until the water goes cold. The lemon juice is a natural disinfectant and will help to remove any product build-up that has lodged itself between the teeth of comb, but if the build-up is stubborn then you can remove it manually by brushing it away with a toothbrush. After soaking your comb, rinse it with water, wipe it with a towel and allow it to dry naturally.

Taking good care of your hair styling instruments is well worth the small investment of your time. It goes without saying that a hairbrush that is clean and in good condition will be a far more effective styling tool than one that has been left to gather dirt and dust. By following the simple tips listed above, you'll be ensuring that your hairbrushes and combs are doing the best job that they possibly can in keeping your hair looking and feeling the way you want it to.

Hair Loss Treatment for Women
