Caribbean Hair Tips

Let’s face reality no matter how much product or how expensive the product is, living in the Caribbean and maintaining beautiful hair is quite challenging.

As a woman of east Indian decent I found it quite difficult to maintain my hairstyles – the wind, the rain, the heat, the dust, the Caribbean lol. As you can see below my hair isn’t straight nor is it extremely curly.

Finding the right products to maintain my texture is always a trying process but never fair in the Caribbean :-  where there is a will there is a way, usually the long time traditional way, the way your great great grama use to do lol.

Some great products to treat your hair with and maintain your natural texture.

Note please use these products when you’re at home and not heading out to and event.   

I swear by this product, not only for hair but skin, nails, as a general body oil  anything that you think may need being repairs on your body. Nevertheless when it comes to the hair COCONUT OIL IS THE LIFE 




One of the greatest applications of coconut oil is for your hair, whether it be to intensely moisturize and condition, to stimulate faster growth, detangle, defeat dandruff and more. Here are six reasons you should start putting coconut oil in your hair.                  

Coconut Oil For Deep Conditioning

Because it is comprised mainly of smaller medium-chain fatty acids, the oil of the coconut penetrates hair more deeply and faster than other conditioners. 

Coconut Oil As a Daily Detangler

If you have long or curly hair, dealing with tangles may be a daily battle for you.  Coconut oil can help here, too!  Also, because it’s 100% natural, organic virgin coconut oil won’t leave any residue or long-term damage to your tresses!

Coconut Oil To Defeat Dandruff

If long-time use of chemical shampoos, conditioners, styling products, or colorants has left you with itchy, flaky, dandruff – you can use coconut oil to heal your scalp. 

 

Coconut Oil As a Base for Hair Coloring

Coconut oil makes an excellent medium for mixing your all-natural hair coloring.  Because coconut oil penetrates hair more deeply and faster than many other natural oils, it can help your color to be more vibrant and keep it from fading too quickly.

Coconut Oil For Faster Hair Growth

Use coconut oil as a natural way to help your hair grow longer, thicker, and faster.  The vitamins and essential fatty acids naturally found in coconut oil nourish the scalp and help to remove sebum build-up from hair follicles.

Coconut Oil To Protect Hair From Sun Damage

Coconut oil makes an excellent all natural sunscreen.  In the morning – especially on a day when you know that your hair will be exposed to the elements more than usual – apply coconut oil to protect your hair.
