coconut milk and olive oil hair treatment
As the cold weather sets in, the moisture is significantly reduced and that means your hair dries out far more easily. Add to that the stress that hair straighteners, dryers and curling wands can add to the condition of your hair, and your winter locks are crying out for a little TLC. Using a deep conditioning treatment once a week over winter is a great way to give your hair a break. This helps restore moisture taken out by indoor heating in your workplace or home, as well as the dry, cold winter air. Our tip is a coconut milk and olive oil treatment. Au natural, this is simple to create and effective. The coconut milk fills up hair strands with proteins and adds moisture from roots to ends, making it perfect for damaged hair or split ends. The rich, fatty acids of the olive oil work to lubricate hair strands individually and helps strengthen them against breakage. It’s a very oily substance however, so remember to stick to the measurements.

Step 3 Let the hair sit for 15 minutes so the treatment can penetrate. Step 4 Rinse off thoroughly using warm water. Do a final rinse in cold water to help close the hair follicles.
