Coconut oil

If you are like me with 4B kinky thirsty hair, I urge you to try sealing with coconut oil.  Yes I said coconut oil; “Heller” if you did not know let me enlighten you. Coconut oil which comes from coconuts. It is one of the few natural oils scientifically proven to penetrate the hair shaft resulting in the users experiencing softer, shiny more manageable hair.
This oil has been around for many years, it has multiple usage from acne treatment, cooking, and hair treatments and beyond. Additionally it is a popular ingredient in most house hold products.
So if you are frugal like myself and wish to benefit from this amazing oil but aren't willing to spend up to 1200 JM dollars on a bottle I implore you to try making it right in your own kitchen. However unlike me if you cannot extract the meat with a knife please ask an adult.....yes I am adult lol. Removing the meat can be a little challenging sadly it cost me the loss of a bit of blood. So please ask someone who is more of an expert with a knife.
Firstly you need 1 or 2 dry coconuts preferably aged. Older coconuts produce more meat thus more oil. After obtaining your nut now we need to crack it open and extract the meat. The meat is what we want so now we need to shred the meat into tiny bits. This can be done with a greater or a high-end power shredder. Now here comes the fun part we will now combine the shredder meat with water as best as possible. My advice is to use a sizable container, use your hands for best result. Now kick your feet up and watch some Netflix movies...joke.
After we have married the coconut meat with the water we need to cover the container and let it sit for at least 12 hours over night for best results. In the morning you will see some milk like substance at the top and the water at the bottom. Scoop off the top and place it into a pot and then start boiling it on your stove. This takes a little while but just keep eyeing it until the oil emerges.
There you have it guys and that’s how you make coconut oil. I give this oil 5 stars from experience however if you do not wish to wait or go through this lengthy process just purchase it from one of those organic stores.
