Hey guys and gals, so it has been a long time since my last blog post. I am super busy with studies and personal stuff but I recently had a question from Katrianna relating to the benefits of coconut oil.
I know that in Trinidad and Tobago getting pure coconut oil can be difficult,, unless you outsource or make it yourself. We usually get the coconut oil that we use around Divali time to fill the deyas. Although it says PURE Coconut Oil, it can smell rancid which may be due to improper storage.

Some may prefer to use coconut oil that they can guarantee is 100% pure (be mindful there are cold pressed and those that involve heat in the extraction- some prefer cold pressed). In the event that you really don't want to use coconut oil that claims to be 100% pure as you are unsure if it is really natural and pure, you can alternatively use Olive Oil. Olive oil is one of those oils that can penetrate the hair cuticle and therefore, reduce or prevent hygral fatigue which can be damaging to your hair. It can be easily obtained from the supermarkets as well :)
I found this post on NaturallyCurly.com by Samantha Berley that explains using Olive Oil for hair. Hope it is helpful.
