Magic of Coconut Oil

Do you have coconut oil, almond oil, or honey in your pantry? If not, go out and buy some because these are completely natural and wonderful ways to take care of your hair - if you're not into the whole chemically-enhanced hair products. We all love natural products, so why not get something you already have and gift yourself with manageable hair?
So I was looking up ways women put up their hair in Chinese dynasties (that's RIGHT, doing my research for upcoming hair tutorials yo)... when I came across this oh fabulouso ways of haircare people used to do for 4,000 years. It's really helpful, take a look at this chart:
This is so much more helpful than the whole egg yolks splattered on hair type of thing you used to hear is a so-called great traditional method, which, by the way, is pretty disgusting anyways.

Plus, just with coconut oil, here are some more beauty tips you can use! Natural eye makeup remover, what up.





4. As a deep-conditioning hair treatment for my totally wrecked ends. There’s a reason lots of conditioners use coconut oil: According to this study, coconut oil is better able to penetrate the hair than is mineral oil (shocking!) and sunflower oil—which is good news because I’ve been dealing] with a little heat damage over here. Because I don’t want to cut off the damage—I’m liking my hair long right now—I’ve been trying to get the ends looking OK as I grow it out. Knowing full well there is no way to physically repair fried ends (I even confirmed this with a cosmetic scientist named Colin, who isn’t a clean guy, but he’s nice and he’s smart) I’ve been loving this method: once a week, I sleep with a handful of coconut oil in my hair. I rub it in, comb it, pile it in a loose bun on the top of my head, and call it a night. In the morning I shampoo and it seems to make a big difference in the look and feel of my ends.
5. To take off my eye makeup. Put a little on a cotton ball or a piece of toilet paper and sweep it over your eyes gently. It even works on waterproof mascara. [NoMoreDirtyLooks]
