Coconut Oil

So for all you south texan ladies, I was in my local H-E-B today and a 32 oz container of coconut oil caught my eye. I've heard about how great it is for your skin and hair, and at $4.98 a pop, why the heck not?! So I got it, went home, took out my twists and applied it to my scalp, ends, and roots. I combed with my wide tooth comb. Can I say this was one of the greatest purchases I have EVER made? I got unbelievable shine and moisture from less than a quarter size amount! Below is some wonderful tidbits about coconut oil! Hope y'all enjoy :)

Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny complexion.
