My hair is a mess. I color it, blowdry it, straighten it and it always looks like I put it through a paper shredder. I don’t like super perfume-y products and it seems like the hair industry has gone totally overboard with fragrance. Tropical island sunset pina colada, lavender mint jullup, Pacific Ocean mist with a touch of fish oil for frizz control. What is up with this junk? The overdose of nasty ingredients has me looking like Bret Micheals in the 80’s

What’s a platinum blonde to do?

Coconut oil to the rescue!! Everyone’s been talking about how coconut oil is so friggin fantastic that it will reverse aging, aid in weight-loss, lower the risk of heart disease, etc. Hell, it can probably cure AIDS.

On a whim, I grabbed some from the pantry, scooped out about 1/3 of the jar and went to town on my train wreck of a ‘do. Lo and behold, the Desert Storm that is my hair soaked that shizzle right up and after about 40 mins I easily shampooed it out.

Cut to: curtains open, harps play and angels fly over head.

I was GORGEOUS!

Here’s the scoop:

• Organic Virgin Coconut oil at Trader Joe’s is $5.99. That’s right. Friggin $5.99.
• Smells like coconut, NATURALLY. None of those gross and overdone added scents.
• It’s just coconut, pure and simple. It wasn’t rubbed into a bunny rabbit’s eyes because IT DIDN’T NEED TO BE! It’s pure and good and clean.
• Unlike shitty “hair masks” there are a zillion other things you can do with coconut oil. Check some out here!

Now go get yourself a lube job and let me know how it turns out!
