How To Use Natural Ingredients In Your Curls
Coconut oil:
This is a great weekly treatment. Once a week, melt a cupful of organic coconut oil and allow to cool for a few moments. Massage the oil directly into your scalp, working in small circles with your finger tips. Use a wide toothed comb to work the coconut oil throughout your curls. Cover with a shower cap, and apply heat if you’d like for a minimum of 30 minutes. Afterward, wash away with lukewarm water and a gentle cleansing shampoo.

Once a week, mix 1 cup of filtered water with 1/4 cup of ACV. Massage into your scalp, and then comb throughout your strands. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before rinsing out with cool water. Do this after your shampoo, and before conditioning. Curls will be refreshed, shiny, and frizz free.
Olive oil and lemon juice:
