Jojoba and coconut oil blend

Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a fatty acid that penetrates the hair cuticle and strengthens hair. Just like coconut, jojoba oil is extremely moisturizing, prevents breakage, and even helps with dandruff treatment.

Ingredients:

  • One tablespoon of extra virgin coconut 
  • One tablespoon of jojoba oil

Warm the mix in the microwave for 30 seconds. Check if the temperature is safe to be applied on hair and if so, spread the oils all over the strands and leave it for 20 minutes. Then, shampoo it as usual.
