Beauty Tip: De-Frizz Hair With Coconut Oil

My two pregnancies have taken their toll on my long locks. It wasn't long ago that I had really healthy, shiny, straight hair. Now I have dry, frizzy, wavy hair. I really don't have time to bother with my hair these days while chasing around wee ones. Instead, my new signature hairdo is a simple pony tail. Sadly, it looks like a frizz ball.

Anyway, I've been reading about easy, homemade hair treatments like virgin coconut oil. In desperation I pulled out the coconut oil I store in my bathroom to remove eye makeup (of course, I also have some in the kitchen for cooking, too) and ran some over my hair (both when wet and dry), especially at the ends. Then, I run the hair dryer over it for about a minute. I have too much hair to spend the time drying it completely.

Amazingly, the virgin coconut oil treatment took about 75% of the frizz away and cranked up the shine by at least 10 fold. It doesn't make my hair look greasy either. It's pretty amazing! Definitely a keeper in my beauty arsenal.
