Hi guys, Vivienne again.
I added a post a while back about using olive oil to repair frizzy hair. I still use this for chlorinated hair, but now also use a coconut oil mask every other month. I just put a rounded tablespoon of coconut oil into my palm and rub my hands together until it melts. This is one of my favourite overnight treatments.

I concentrate on the ends to start with, then rub my hands though my hair until the oil has vanished from my hands. I sleep on a towel, and in the morning all the oil is absorbed by my hair and it looks amazing. The effect last several days. Highly recommended.

I am a great fan of coconut oil. Its is economical and smells delicious! it’s great rubbed into my nails after I have removed the varnish and I also use it to soften dry skin on my feet. (Sorry if that was a little gross!)

Back to hair,  I have recently changed my hair colourant as I have been getting more dry patches on my scalp. Switching to Garnier Olio  has eradicated the problem. This is claimed to be the first oil powered and ammonia free permanent home hair colour. When I apply it it smells lovely and does not irritate my scalp. It lathers up well and is much easier to rinse than other products I have tried.

The shade I currently use is Soft black as it is really a dark brown colour, more than black, and that blends with my natural colouring. Since using this I have had no issues with dry ecsma type patches on my scalp and my hair looks glossy and natural.

Incidentally when I first purchased it came with a weird tear drop shape bottle that must have been designed my a man with large hands. You may see on other reviews that it was far too big to hold and it toppled over unless wedged in the box. They have now switched to a regular applicator bottle which is easy to use.
