Oils 101-Coconut Oil for Beautiful Hair

I always tell you guys, beauty should and could be affordable. My cousin who lives in a 1 room shack in the Dominican Republic, literally takes the coconut oil off of the trees and makes herself a hair treatment every week. Guess what, this girl who has no money, has hair that can rival any Pantene Models. As you guys know one of my favorite and most inexpensive beauty secrets is Coconut oil. For hair growth, hair shine, hair strength, you ladies know how much I love, adore, worship the ground coconut oil walks on. Why? Well one, I’ve seen first hand what application of that oil can do on your hair over time. I’ve seen dry damaged hair, turn to long lustrous shiny hair (yes I’m talking about mine and many other family members) There’s not much to say about the oil except it is proven to work by science. Here’s the link to the study. But I don't care what science says, the proof is in the pudding and in my case, "the pudding" is my hair, and let me tell you, my hair adores this stuff.  Obviously it’s made from the fat of coconuts. The high amount of Lauric acid is really beneficial to your hair and scalp.  If you have time you can actually make the oil yourself. Here’s a link on how to do it too.

Currently Tropical Traditions is the one I've been using:

Give your hair a good scalp massage with the oil about once a week. I guarantee you’ll see a difference. 

Although i've been using many coconut oils throughout the years, Tropical Traditions actually sent me theirs to try. 

Hair Hair Hair & New Giveaway

I take a lot of pride in my hair. It’s jet black, healthy, thick with an incredible amount of shine. But there are other reasons I take pride in it. When I was younger, I remember crying because my hair wasn't as full and shiny as my moms. My hair was dry, never grew, and just dull. Now I’m not saying these products will change your life but I think they’ll help. My hair tonic will probably help you more (i promise i will try to do the vid this weekend), but these will assist in giving you beautiful hair. So here’s my last giveaway. It’s a personal one because I actually purchased these products myself to give to you. These are products that I credit with helping me get my hair to where I want it to be and I want your hair to be healthy and beautiful as well.

1) Aubrey’s Honey suckle Conditioner-leaves my hair not only smelling great, but thick and shiny as well.
2) Aubrey’s GPB Conditioner-A great protein treatment
3) Spectrum’s Coconut oil (although recently I’ve been making my own coconut oil with coconuts. I may do a youtube on that)
4) Giovanni Smooth As Silk Conditioner
5) Giovanni Tea Trea Oil Shampoo (great if you have dandruff)
6) DE’s guide to the perfect scalp massage
7) Aubrey’s White Camelia (don’t use it as much, but used to use it all the time)

Just send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the subject being “DE, I want fabulous hair too.” Winner gets announced tomorrow.

Thanks for reading. We'll be back tomorrow with some reviews on new glosses and nail colors.

Hugs,

What are your plans for the weekend?

Hair Product that has Benefited you Most!

Hey guys,

As you guys know, my hair routine is incredibly important to me. I'm a huge hair fanatic. I love love love hair. (I'll be posting my secret hair drink on youtube later on his week). I think I love my hair so much because growing up my hair would never grow past my chin, but now it grows so much that I have to cut it every 4 weeks so I can maintain a decent "reporter" length. Anyway, I wanted to ask you, what is the product you think has benefited your hair the most. Besides my internal "hair tonic" that I drink every morning, I believe it's been my coconut oil,



and the hair massage that I do. Stimulate the scalp mamas! What about you?
What hair product do you think has benefited you the most.

Hugs,

DE

Coconut Oil for Hair-The Proof

Running this site, I get a lot of e-mails. Some are nice, others are weird and some can be really negative. I got a mean e-mail around a week ago with someone spewing anger my direction. I don't like negativity so I'll just quote you some of the e-mail:

"Dear Mrs. DE,

I really don't like the fact that you always tout Coconut Oil for being a magical ingredient for hair. You give false hope to people who follow you in the hopes that their hair will transform itself."

The e-mail went on being insulting afterwards but we don't need all that on my blog. I try to be as positive and as encouraging as possible to my readers. But, I wanted to address something. I grew up in a Dominican family obsessed with hair. If you are familiar with Dominican people, we come in a variety of beautiful shades and hair textures. I have family members that have type 1 hair and others who have Type 4b hair. We are such a beautiful mix of people. I will say this though, we all used coconut oil, and our hair saw the benefits of it. If you don't believe me, then here is a scientific study that tested coconut oil with other oils and showed that coconut oil was really the only one that actually did benefit the hair:

I hope this helps and for that reader, it's not good to be so negative. Lighten up and smile, life is not that serious.

Hugs (even to the mean reader),

DE
