Coconut oil- Old bells ever ringing

Hey all,
             I have been debating within me, whether to say something about the legendary fairy godmother of hair growth for some time now. I just felt we've all seen too much about the benefit of coconut oil, there was no need to flog the issue any further. But i have realized that, if you believe in something, you gotta stand for what you believe in; don't matter how many people have been doing it already. So here's your post guys!

I have been using Coconut oil in my hair care regimen from the beginning. I have unbeatable evidence that it always works ( even the tiniest percentage in any hair product), i know  most of you have been using it too- if you've not, what you waiting for?
There's no healthy hair care journey without coconut oil. Matter of fact, coconut oil adds the "H" in the healthy hair- make that a double "H".

If you've never known in full details, here are some benefits for coconut oil listed below.
- Its an excellent emollient, which is due to the numerous fatty acids it contains, hence its ideal for locking in the moisture and retaining it. (Lock in the moisture gals- very important!!!)
- Its good for damaged hair, due to its restoring ability, it helps repair the hair follicles.
- The thick hair which is known to be an endowment of people in areas like SriLanka ( boy!! do they have hair), Philippines and Malaysia, is attributed to the widely known use of coconut oil in its most virgin form.
- It helps prevent breakage and dryness which ultimately leads to breakage.
- I read about its benefits on split ends, but having used coconut oil for over a year now,I don't think coconut oil alone is sufficient for preventing split ends, you need to get your regimen together to fight that, plus an occasional trim too.

Nuff said. I'll be too shocked if there are people who have never heard about this- but no worries, that's why i have this blog!! you'll hear it all, read it all, see it all.
One love

Argan Oil of Morocco- to use or not to use?

Hey Readers,
                      How's y'all doing?Its been a while, but as you know, i would always and surely be here to update on my latest experience as we thread this path of healthy hair.
so i picked up the creme of nature leave-in conditioner with Argan Oil from Morocco, I've heard just about too much noise concerning the benefits of this oil and it was time to find out for myself- and of course, let you know.

the argan oil, which is gotten from beating argan kernels, is pretty much an all-round miracle oil like the Shea butter. I say that because its benefits are not just for hair, but for skin and nails. It boasts of the ability to clear wrinkles and stubborn unsightly stretchmarks.

I am still to find a product that actually stimulates hair growth apart from Biotin. However, this oil has actually visibly made my hair more manageable. I went off heat for a while and started trying various heat free methods like flexirods, silk wrap without heat and even roller curling. These seem to be good for like 6 hours , after which my ends poof up all over again (but trust me to gel it to submission and do my regular bun).
I have found my hair much more manageable, as i moisturize and seal at nights, i wake up to see a well straightened end, with no puffs. The hair also shines, but its not oily or greasy.
Its also been said to strenghten hair while improving its elasticity, but hair strenght has not been a problem for me recently, so i can't say for sure.
Based on the above evidence, i can actually give argan oil of Morocco some credit for the noticeable manageability of my hair so far. Its not bad at all.
My next action plan is to make up a more authentic oil mix for my hair, definitely including the argan oil to this mix!!. I currently use a mix of coconut oil, olive oil and tea tree oil, but I'm going to add the argan oil, and after a few weeks of trial, I'll be adding the Jamaican black Castor oil, if its as good as they say.

Watch out for my Jamaican Black Castor oil review after i have used it.
My knowledge increases with each new experience, i hope its the same for you. Please comment below

One love
