How to Treat Dry, Colored & Relaxed Hair

If your hair is dry, colored or relaxed, it might be time for some TLC.

There are countless products that promise to revive dry, colored and relaxed hair to its former glory. What if you could use a food product to make your hair healthier? Coconut oil is incredible for giving hair softness and shine. You can find coconut oil in most grocery stores. It's available in liquid or solid form. The solid form, which is more of a paste, is easier to use because it doesn't drip. It smells gorgeous and makes your hair look like a dream. Great hair is a few simple steps away.

Things You'll Need

• Coconut oil
• Boar bristle brush

Instructions

1. Leave your hair wet after a shower. For long hair, put about 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil on your hand. Rub your palms together. Short hair may need less oil.

2. Grab the ends of your hair with your palms and rub the paste into your hair. Start moving your hands upward and rub the paste in until you reach your forehead hairline.

3. Gently brush the oil through your hair. Hair should dry without oiliness. It will soak up the oil. If it is oily after drying, wash it, and next time apply less oil.
