Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Hair Treatment

More great stuff from Tropical Traditions today, folks! Since the change of seasons I have been all about the hair. I have super long hair that I love, except that I get these crispy ends. (yes, CRISPY!) Even right after a trim. I think it's some strange combination of heat, humidity and sneaky little end-crisping gnomes. Whatever the cause, I found the solution in Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Hair Treatment.



Ease of Use

This varies a bit. When the oil is cold (ish) it is solid. I take a bit and rub it between my hands to liquify it. When the oil is warm, I just dip a couple fingers in the jar. Once my hands are oiled, I massage the oil all through my hair from the tips to the roots. I personally put a lot more on the ends than at the roots. I have to be careful not to use too much, though, more than a few drops and my hair goes from shiny to an oil spill.

Appearance

When cool, the oil is solid and white. When warm, the oil is crystal clear.







Scent and Texture

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Hair Treatment has a light coconut scent, almost like toasted coconut. The texture is, well, oil.

When used in my hair, it almost seemed to thicken the strands. My hair felt strong and looked soft and shiny. The ends were no loger crispy, but did remain a little stiff. I'm still experimenting to see if long term use improves my hair even more.

Versatility

Throughout the life of this blog, Tropical Traditions has definitely provided some very versatile products. The hair treatment is no exception. As far as I can tell, it is just pure coconut oil.I use it as a whole body moisturizer as well as a hair treatment. I do love the fact that I have an all in one product here that I can use head to toe and still snack on if the mood strikes :)

Overall Value

A 16oz. jar costs $19.95. If you use it like I do (even adding use for the body) it will last a very long time. I haven't even made a dent in my jar yet.

Rating

Recommended- Especially for people who are plagued by sneaky little end-crisping gnomes.
