Nowadays damaged hair is very common because of the use of hair dyes, styling with
excessive heat or simply using too many products on your hair.
Most skin types are sensitive to an extent that we don’t realise we are applying so many
chemicals to our skin. The effects this can cause to our skin cells can lead to early ageing
signs, breakouts and even an increase in hyperpigmentation.
Most hair products contain silicone, this makes the hair appear shiny and renewed. But
Silicone is not a natural mineral, it contains a plastic like compound, which over time, can
weigh down the hair making it limp and lifeless.
Coconut oil is a great solution for damaged hair, as it is composed of natural minerals
that will continue to restore your natural hair texture. It will help make your hair stay
moisturised, healthy and strong.
If you suffer from damaged hair we suggest having an all-natural hair treatment, that
involves trimming the ends of your hair and swapping out your hair products for
coconut oil.
Coconut oil can also be used for styling hair, because it’s an oil based product that
leaves a natural shine without the hard drying effect that normal hairsprays and
products would leave.

Even the most trusted product baby oil, can in ways not be very good for your skin. Most
mineral oils also known as “comedogenic” can clog pores and increase the risk of acne and
blackheads.
Coconut oil is very rich substance, when it is applied to the skin it sinks into the pores
allowing your skin to stay moisturised for up to 48hrs. The constant use of the product
allows the skin to become soft, this evens out your complexion leaving a natural glow.
The most convenient factor about using coconut oil on your skin is that you only need a small
amount; so you don’t have to worry about spending ridiculous prices for such an amazing
beauty product.
