Hello, remember I said I had a home remedy to introduce?
Yup, it's really easy and cheap + you can multitask while waiting for it to be ready.
I have very serious hair fall due to excessive dyeing of hair + bleaching and my ends are like super dry with lots and lots of dead hair there. It's totally lifeless.
I wished I have more photos for this post - I tried taking while doing it but my phone ended super oily and the photos are super not up to standard. So do pardon me alright (:
All you need is..

Using coconut is a wonderful and natural way for "saving" your hair. In face, this is probably the most effective conditioner ever, which helps with damaged hair growth.
Here are some reasons why...
1. Coconut oil stimulates hair growth getting deep into its follicles.
2. Promotes the scalp health fighting against such problems as insect bites etc
3. Moisturises dry hair.
4. Adds luster, shine and softness to the hair.
5. Prevents hair breakage and spilt ends, contributing to hair length
6. Slows down hair loss
and many many more..
So what I did was really really easy!
Step 1
Pour the amount that you need in a plastic container. Usually I will have like 10 table spoon or more because I have thick hair and I want to max my results (kiasu much). Microwave it for 30 secs - Try not to go beyond that because it might hurt your scalp when you apply - I will let it cool after taking it out from the microwave for 10 secs tops.
Step 2
Make sure you're wearing shirt that you do not want anymore + comfy because it may get messy.
You can either pour some onto your scalp or just wet your palm with the oil. Massage your scalp and add the oil when needed. Massage for at least 5-10 mins or when your scalp is soaked with oil.
Step 3
Start to work your way down to the tips of your hair. Usually I focus a lil more on more scalp and hair ends. I will soak my hair ends in the plastic container and run through with my finger tips.
Step 4
Twirl your hair into a bun shape and pour the remaining oil in the middle of the bun and massage through (do this only if you have extra coconut oil in your plastic container).
Tie it into a bun and wrap your head with a shower cap!
Recommended to let it be overnight and washed it off the next day but I have serious fear of oil on my pillow so I usually would just let it sit on my head for at least a solid 2 hrs or more (up to 8 hrs).
Washing these oil off your head is a nightmare (trust me)
Wash 3 times and let it run with lots of water for each wash.
Small lil tips, last wash after conditioner, let it your hair run under solid cold water for 20 seconds or more. You'll not regret!
Results
I have been doing this for 10 times or less and inconsistently but the immediate result after each washed was really obvious. My hair is shiny + my ends feels smooth. Will definitely try to tolerate the oil and do it at least 1 week once for better result! Will update you guys again!
But so far so good!
Till then!
Love, D
