My hair was damaged, dry, thin, brittle. All my fault for starting to slack on taking care of it. I managed to ruin it. I kept using my flat iron without doing my protein treaments and deep conditioners. I had also previously damaged it by overprocesing it, and then trying to help make it look better, I did a Brazilian Keratin treatment to it. Big mistake!!!. It left me with thin, denatured hair. My hair lost all bounce, body, curl(I have 3b hair by the way). As I said before it got thin. It got so thin, that I could see my scalp when standing under a light. Now, that really freaked me out.  It just looked straight (but not in a good way) like straw. It was dry and lifeless. It lacked all natural movement. It was faded. Even after two years of not puting any chemicals to it.

 

I finally decided to get my act together and start some serious hair repair. So I did a protein treatment( I highly recomend Joico K-pak deep penetrating reconstructor). I figure the change in my hair's structure had to do with protein loss. And I also started using Salerm hair energy regenarator vials. That stuff is just amazing!!! After doing the protein treatment (wich MUST be followed by a deep conditioner) You could immediatly see the change. The hair had body again, it looked shiny. It had movement and the strands appeared thicker. The Salerm vials made it even better. It made my hair even more shiny, strong, soft and beautiful. And by the third vial, I could no longer see my scalp when standing under a light. So I figure, what else could do better for my hair. Decided to try the coconut oil.

 

OMG!!! What a difference. I put the oil on my dry hair. Completely saturated the hair with it and tied it into a pony tail and wraped a plastic bag over my head. I initially inteded to leave it in for 30 minutes. But stared to clean the house and lost track of time, and ended up having it in for like like 4 or 5 hours. I washed it out real good with my Lamas Beauty sulfate free shampoo, and used My Salerm wheat germ mask. Rinsed it out. I put a few drops of jojoba oil on my hands and rub it on my wet hair. Tied it into  a pony tail and let it air dry. Slept the night with the pony tail. I got up in the morning and took out the pony tail. My hair looked super thick and shiny. It was super soft. I couldn't resist. I took out my Revo styler, and did a section of hair to see how it looked. It was beautiful! So I decided to do the whole head. OMG, I was ablo to do it in like 15 minutes, and when I was done, I had beautiful shiny, bouncy, thick lookin hair.

 

The next week I did the coconut oil again. This time I only left it in for like an hour. Washed it out. Put in my condtioner and went to my hair salon. Had the conditioner rinsed out. Had my stylist put in my vial of Salerm hair regenarator, and a little Salerm 21 B5 leave in, and blow dry. Wow!!! Hair like never before. It plumped up my hair. Looks thick, shiny, bouncy, straight, polished. No frizz at all!!! And I live in the caribean now. Humidity like crazy.  Just amazing. I will never be without a jar of this stuff. I also use it on my skin and it is sooo soft. I hear it regenarates the skin and even helps with cellulite (wich I have some). Haven't been using it long enough to be able to coment on that aspect, but will be sure to keep using and see what happens.

 

I bought mine from puritan pride. I got two 16oz tubs for $24. They had a 15% off coupon and I got free shipping, so it was a steal. Next I'm gonna try Tropical Traditions. I hear is the best, and they even have one specially for hair (wich is a little higher in protein). Don't forget to get virgin organic, cold pressed oil, whatever brand you decide to get. If you're thinking aobut it, don't!!! Just get it. You won't be sorry.
