The Wonders of Coconut Oil


BetterBody Foods Naturally Refined Organic Coconut Oil, 28 fl oz
Coconut oil is an essential in any girl’s life, boys can use it too but I wouldnt know why other than for food? Anyways, most people will use coconut oil as a healthy alternative to the fatty and sodium consumed products to add to food. I have found many other helpful uses for coconut oil. These applications may not be useful to everyone, but these slight changes have helped my life tremendously.

  1. For Soft and Beautiful Hair - My hair is breaking-brushes thick, tight-as-a-poodle’s curly, and why-do-I-even-bother frizzy. One solution that I have been able to use is coconut oil. Before I go to bed, I apply copious amounts to my long, dry, and big hair. I don’t use a comb to spread it, but rather just run my fingers through my hair until the oil is spread out. Then I wrap my hair in a bun and go to bed. The next morning in the shower, I wash my hair and conditioner it like normal. I comb my hair after the shower and watch as the frizz is contained and the curls are gorgeous ALL DAY! Now, different people have different hair. Because of the way my hair is so obnoxious, I only apply coconut oil once a week. For your hair, research if coconut oil is good for it and how much and how often you should apply it.
  2. Soft Skin - Coconut oil on your legs and arms (if you do that) after a shave is great for your skin. The natural qualities of the oil is great for your skin. To avoid the greasy hands and grease marks on my phone, I apply it at night before bed.
  3. Yummy Stir Fry - Using coconut oil as the cooking oil for stir fry is a healthy and yummy alternative to other oils.
