▸  DIY hair mask
(Keep the coconut oil in your hair for 2 hours, doing this 1-2 times a week. When washing out the coconut oil, if you have dark hair like me, it may take a couple washes to get the oil out. But when using your shampoo, massage throughly from root to tip and let it sit for 5 minutes or more. Depending on thickness, after rinsing throughly, use a few dabs on conditioner on the tips then follow with another shampoo cycle and repeat. This should do the trick to get the oils out. This leaves you with soft hair and can even make it grow!)
