The Beauty Oil you DON'T know about
FOR THE SKIN:
It's rich in beta carotene (higher than carrot seed oil!) as well as oelic acid, linoliec acid and tocopherols -jam packing it with anti-oxidants and unsaturated fatty acids help to rebuild + hydrate the skin protecting the collagen and elastin and therefore preventing damage and breakdown of the skin!! YAY!
(Not to mention leaves the skin silky soft- completely delicious to the touch!)
Due to the oils natural pigment is can also can be used as a NATURAL SKIN BRONZER. Just make sure you significantly dilute in a natural body lotion before applying so you don't turn orange!
FOR THE HAIR:
It moisturizes, strengthens, and smooths! (Great for us girls with thick wavy/curly hair!) Basically I've cut Freeze-ease to the curb for this natural alternative.
Although it is a safe oil to use neat, I would not recommend using undiluted or without caution of your skin care therapist or natural health therapist to make sure it's good for you in conjunction with other products you may be using...plus you can stain your hair or skin orange if your not careful!!

No POO Diet
There's always a new gimmick a new fad, something new to try in every industry...and in the holistic one it's currently the NO SHAMPOO for healthier hair trend.
So I did it. One full month of ZERO Hair washing, ZILCH hair styling products, NATA on the hair drying. Just straight up rinsing with water, coconut oil and a butt load of braids and buns.
So what did this do?
Well, during the month my hair was actually more manageable.
My hair texture is thick and wavy and can be a little out of control, so this NO POO trial benefited my hair as it looked more polished and done on most of the days, not to mention it was easier and more quick to actually do!
Braids and buns were quick to create, polished waves were a cinch and I SAVED TIME because I no longer had the one hour prep time with drying my thick ass hair.
Yes, of course, there were days that my hair looked like shit; stringy, greasy and like I possibly didn't care about myself in any way, shape or form. However the good days well OUT WEIGHED the bad in my opinion (maybe not my boyfriend's?)
Throughout the 30 days, my hair looked thicker and definitely seemed to have grown longer, and by day 31 after my FIRST HAIR WASH IN ONE MONTH, by hair looked ultra thick, soft, smooth, flyaway free and most of all HEALTHY.
Do you dare to try?
