Organic Fiji - Coconut Oil tretaments for your Hair

Organic Fiji’s Coconut Oil is a great way to luxuriate your hair. From intensive treatments to styling secrets, it works wonders with all different hair types. Follow our organic beauty tips and get ready to have those luscious locks you have always dreamed about.

Coconut Oil always needs to be in the liquid state before using it on your hair. Organic Coconut Oil solidifies under 76F. To warm it, you can just run the bottle under hot water, or leave the bottle in the sunshine, or even hold the bottle in your hands. I usually draw some hot water in the sink and leave the bottle in the water for 3-5 minutes.

One of the ways our coconut oil can be used, is as an intensive conditioning treatment for your hair. That’s right. You can skip that expensive hot oil treatment at the Salon, and get the same results with a little help from your coconut oil friends. Leave your hair looking shiny, feeling smooth, while providing the essential proteins, vitamins and minerals required for nourishing damaged hair. At the same time you’re treating your hair, you will also be getting a scalp treatment. A twice a week scalp treatment with Organic Fiji’s Coconut oil will prevent dandruff, lice and help your hair grow thicker and fuller.

To perform an intensive conditioning treatment on your hair, you should follow the steps below. This method should then be adjusted to suit your personal hair type. Variables will change depending on length, thickness and type of hair.
Shampoo the hair first, the hotter the water the better.
Then towel dry your hair.
Cover the hair with the liquefied coconut oil, working from the ends up. The amount applied will depend on the length and thickness of hair. If you have fine or greasy hair, stay away from the roots and focus on the ends of the hair.
Leave for desired amount of time. The longer the oil is on your hair, the more intense the treatment.
(If convenient, get out of the shower, wrap hair up in a warm towel and leave on for as long as possible).
Next, shampoo off. Make sure you shampoo and rinse thoroughly, so that the coconut oil is washed off completely. You may need to use a little more shampoo than usual.
Use a little of your regular conditioner as well at this point if you have super dry or damaged hair.
And then fully rinse with cold water.
Dry and style hair as normal.

It also helps to know that the hair’s made up of scales, the warm water opens them and the cold closes, so the oil treatment will work twice as good if the scales are opened first so it can really treat the hair. The cold water closes the scales and locks in the moisture, making the treatment last a lot longer, even after following washes. The first time you do the treatment, expect the hair to look a little flat, however following washes will bring out your nourished hair to the full.

Organic Fiji’s coconut Oil can also be used in your styling routine too. You can use it to achieve flowing, silky straight hair, wonderfully glossy, well defined curls and even as a smoothing serum for that unwanted frizz.

To style straight: Wash and dry as usual. (Straighten with straightening irons too as this point for best effects). Next rub a tiny droplet of oil in your palm and smooth over the ends of your hair with your hands flat. This helps keeps the hair straight and silky, and also eliminates any possible frizz or visible split ends.

To style curly: Wash, towel dry and wet scrunch hair to initiate curls. When the hair is still a little damp, rub a tiny droplet of oil in your hands and scrunch over the curls. (Your usual curling products can be used in conjunction with our coconut oil). Whilst hair is drying, scrunch at intervals, or dry with a curling diffuser. The coconut oil eliminates any possible frizz and also leaves you with well defined, silky curls.

With both these methods, we remind you to only use a very small amount, as too much can leave your hair looking a little greasy.

Please note, the coconut oil can also act as a barrier around each hair, to protect the hair and scalp from heat damage, which can be caused by hair dryers and heated hair appliances.
