I cannot bear seeing so many of my hair dropping on the floor, chair, carpet, kitchen and everywhere in the house. It is also very demotivating for a woman to lose what it looks like million strands of hair in a day. What can I do to stop this? The expensive way is to get myself an appointment at the ladies salon. That would be my last option. In this oil rich country, nothing is cheap.
I have read somewhere that Extra Virgin Coconut oil can be useful for our hair. The last time I had coconut oil in my hair was when I was in Primary school and had lice in my hair. Eek. My mother was here in Abu Dhabi when I delivered my second baby and she brought a bottle of Virgin Coconut oil. When she left I decided to put it to good use. First, I used it as my baby's massage oil. Did not like the smell at first but after that I love to use it on my baby's skin. So smooth! Second, I warmed up the oil and massaged my scalp using the warm oil. How to warm it up? Actually I am not sure how other people do it. Is there a rule to this? I do not know. I simply pour a bit in a mug (depends how much oil you want to use on your head) and use a bigger ceramic bowl at the bottom to support the mug. Run my tap water to reach hot temperature into the bowl and leave the hot water heat the mug. Oil will be warm in few minutes. Voila ~ Hot oil treatment! Use your fingers to gently massage the scalp. Very therapeutic. I had the oil in my hair for two hours before I washed it with shampoo. I used an organic shampoo that has Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
I had my first spa last week and I love the smoothness and shiny look. I intend to do this hot oil therapy for my hair once a week.
