Coconut oil scalp treatment: The route to thick, long & shiny hair

When was the last time you gave your scalp a facial? Yes… you read right. I said when was the last time you gave your scalp a facial? Because, like our face, the scalp is also ‘skin’. And it needs just as much love and care. In fact, hair experts say a good scalp treatment is key to healthy, glossy, sleek strands. And it makes sense: like all other skin on our body, the scalp also needs to breathe. It needs oxygen, moisture and nutrients. And since our hair is rooted in the scalp, it is kind of important!

It seems our grandmothers understood this pretty well. I know mine did – she was regularly brewing up lotions and potions for the skin on top of her head and her hair looked super-gorgeous even at the age of 80. So, I am borrowing a page from her beauty diary – two luscious coconut oil scalp treatments that she would use at least once a month to make her hair thicker, longer and silkier. Both remove product build-up, loosen the hardened sebum (natural oil) that clogs hair follicles, bust dead skin cells and boost circulation.

Pick your scalp recipe

First, however, you need to choose your scalp treatment formula.

For dry, flaky, dandruff-prone or acne-ridden scalps, take 6 tablespoons of extra virgin, organic coconut oil, olive oil or jojoba oil (depending on your hair type). Mix with 3-4 drops of tea tree oil and 4-6 drops of rosemary oil.

On the other hand, if you have an oily scalp, tons of product buildup or hair that just generally feels lacklustre, mix 6 tablespoons of extra virgin, organic coconut oil with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoon of grapefruit juice.

How to apply the scalp treatment

Done? Good. Now, apply the chosen mixture to your scalp with a hair dye brush or cotton ball. Make small partings through the hair and work in 1-inch sections to make sure the mixture is evenly distributed. Then give your scalp a good massage (mothers, kind friends or loving significant others are priceless here), rubbing with your fingertips in a circular motion for 5-10 minutes. Let the mixture sit for another 20 minutes before washing off with your regular shampoo. Finish with a good conditioner.

Why does it work?

Easy right? And totally worth it, as your hair will attest. These ingredients are great for rebalancing the scalp’s oil and hydration levels, ridding it of toxins, calming down the sensitive skin and stimulating the follicles for hair growth, among other things. Neglecting your scalp, on the other hand, can result in hair damage and premature hair loss.

Which option do you choose?

    I tried this last night with cocnut oil, eucalyptus essential oil and some fresh sqeezed lemon. It felt great and my hair feels to soft today, but I was afraid that my roots would look oily, so I exfoliated my scalp with epsom salt (after I let the hair mask sit for a half hour) and then shampooed and conditioned like normal–but my fears have still been realized: The roots of my hair are very greasy! I thought that with all that scrubbing I had made it impossible for any greasy oil to be left behind for the next day. Any tips, tricks or suggestions?

    I tried something similar to this today because I recently started my curly girl journey (3 months in). My scalp is no longer oily as I’m not producing as much oil since I stop washing my hair every day that was causing my curls to dry out so much. My scalp has been so flaky and I tried oiling my hair with Avocado oil first and did the apple cider rinse but I would still have some flakes after my wash. Today I did coconut oil, honey, and tea tree oil and no flakes at all! I’m shocked and amazed how well this worked for me.

    I know that Coconut oil has recently been heralded as the latest trendy way to treat many conditions, but it’s popularity has masked over a lot of truths about the cureently popular remedy. I have read from numerous sources, that it can clog the pores and as such, wonder if it’s advisable to use it on a dry scalp that has issues with hair loss also?
    I know that if the hair follicles become constricted with product build up, this can lead to nutrient and blood supply constriction to the hair bulb. Does coconut oil contribute to that in any way? ,
    Thanks to anyone who can advise.

Looking for an anti-stress fragrance? ⁣
⁣
A fragrance that pulls you from the chaos into a sense of calm. Which can drop your blood pressure and make your body feel less wound up. 💚💚⁣
⁣
Want to know more about it?⁣
⁣
First we need to talk about “forest bathing” — scientifically proven for reducing stress and bringing our mind and body into balance. 🌳🌿🌱🍃⁣
⁣
In fact, the Japanese are even known to medically prescribe shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, which is about spending time in a forest. ⁣
⁣
There's no jogging, no hiking (and no bathing)... only immersing yourself in nature.⁣
⁣
Science establishes that this practise has very real benefits, including:⁣
— Stress reduction⁣
— Decreased inflammation⁣
— Drop in blood pressure⁣
— Increased positivity⁣
— Heightened immunity⁣
— Better sleep⁣
— Better skin⁣
⁣
Unfortunately though, this is becoming impossible in the chaos of city living.⁣
⁣
Which is why I have been LOVING The Nue Co’s Forest Lungs. Inspired by forest bathing, this is literally the next best thing to walking in a forest. 💚🌿🌿💚⁣
⁣
Green, woody, citrus and smoky, it mimics the effects of nature in more ways than one. ⁣
⁣
There is, of course, the fragrance itself — a blend of bergamot, vetiver, cedarwood and pine.⁣
⁣
But more important are the phytoncides: the  organic compounds produced by trees, which when inhaled, are both physically and emotionally healing.⁣
⁣
You will find me spraying it liberally on high stress days or when I need some centering. In about 15 minutes, I feel myself sinking into a state of calm… a state of relaxation.⁣
⁣
It’s like walking deep into the woods, under a canopy of lush green trees, feet sinking into the leaves and moss and fallen flowers. 🍀☘️🌿🍃⁣
⁣
It helps me just breathe easier, be less on the edge, have more bandwidth to focus. ⁣
⁣
Drop a 💚 if you could use some stress relief as well right now!⁣
⁣

Are you a sexy red? Or a demure ballet pink? Or maybe a bold and daring black? Fact is that whether they’re glammed up with sparkly polish or left unadorned, nails can tell a lot about a person. ❤️💙💜💛🖤💚⁣
⁣
Try to remember for a moment, what’s your instant assessment when you see someone wearing black nail polish? Now do you see my point? And does it make you wonder exactly what secrets your own nails are spilling?⁣
⁣
Swipe to see the scoop from colour psychology experts, who explain how your choice of nail polish could be making that first impression for you. 😎😻⁣
⁣
So, what nail polish color do you typically wear? And don’t cheat and say clear! Personally, I am all about a burnished gold or a soft glitter. You?⁣

Close your eyes and imagine you are stretched out on a freshly made bed. A bed layered with clean, crisp linen sheets that have been drying in an idyllic, rural backyard all day. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
There’s the lingering warmth of a languid summer day. ⁠☀️☀️☀️☀️⁣
⁠⁣
The cooling freshness of the sheer breeze blowing off dewy grass. ⁠🌾🌾⁣
⁠⁣
The embrace of wildflowers. ⁠🌻🌹🌸🌼⁣
⁠⁣
And the coziness of putting on clothes straight from the dryer after you step out of a long, languid bubble bath. ⁠🛁👚⁣
⁠⁣
That’s Clean Classic’s Soft Laundry eau de parfum: Clean, cool, comforting.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
With top notes of bergamot, pear and a marine accord that bring a burst of freshness the second you spritz on the fragrance. A middle of jasmine, waterlily and iris to bring home sun-drenched meadows. And a base of musk, amber and sandalwood to envelop you in a sense of well being.⁠ 🥰🥰⁣
⁠⁣
This is a perfume I can wear every day. Mornings, afternoons, evenings. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And while it’s not technically a nighttime, “going out” fragrance, I have had so many compliments whenever it’s remained on my skin for a party (because it has great longevity — so, if I have sprayed it on in the morning, there’s still a flicker late in the evening!). ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
It’s just so comforting and fresh and casual — light and perfect for layering.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And, like all Clean’s fragrances, it’s made up of clean, sustainable ingredients. Even the corn-derived cellophane wrapper is biodegradable and compostable.⁠ 🌿🌱⁣
⁠⁣
In short: It’s pure love for me. The hug I need as the day begins. The freshness that cools down my afternoons. The trail of comfort that goes with me through the day.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
What’s YOUR favorite daytime scent?⁠⁣

Yes. And Yes. But you need to keep some things in mind for skin icing to be safe AND effective. (Plus, how gorgeous are these flower ice balls that are super-simple to make at home)? ⁣
⁣
Benefits of icing your face:⁣
⁣
🧊Reduces puffiness and inflammation⁣
🧊Helps minimize acne⁣
🧊Reduces redness⁣
🧊Makes pores look smaller⁣
🧊Tightens the skin⁣
🧊Soothes a sunburn⁣
🧊Reduces dark circles and puffiness under the eyes⁣
🧊Boosts blood circulation to gives you an instant glow⁣
🧊It’s super-refreshing!⁣
⁣
⁣
How to ice your face — safely and effectively:⁣
⁣
🔹If you have sensitive skin, don’t apply ice to it directly. Instead, wrap the ice cubes in a soft towel or muslin cloth.⁣
🔹Don’t hold the ice to one area of your face… keep moving it around constantly in small circular motions.⁣
🔹Don’t ice more than once a day.⁣
⁣
⁣
As for these gorgeous ice cubes you see here. Simply pop a few small flowers, leaves and herbs into your ice tray along with the water… they will freeze into utterly gorgeous pieces of art. 🌸🌼🌿🌱⁣
⁣
You can even use them for some super-cool looking beverages, if you can get your hands on some edible flowers.⁣
⁣
The easiest way to elevate your skincare and turn it into a self care experience, right? 💙💙💙💙⁣

The perfect red lipstick doesn’t exi—. But it does! ⁣
⁣
Red lipstick is my love language and after going through about 54738648957868768 of them in my 15-year career as a beauty editor, let me tell you that GXVE Beauty’s Original Me Matte Lipstick and I'm Still Here Matte Liquid Lipstick are real thing 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻⁣
⁣
Let’s say that again: The. Real. Thing.⁣
⁣
@gxvebeauty — the makeup brand by @gwenstefani — could have been just another one of those celeb launches with all the form and none of the function.⁣
⁣
With one small difference: Gwen has some serious real world makeup experience. ⁣
⁣
Before the Grammy-bedazzled music career, she worked as a makeup artist. And to date, she continues to do her own makeup for the stage. 🎙🎙⁣
⁣
AND she spent 4 years formulating her makeup line along with some of the best brains in the business.⁣
⁣
The result? High performance formulas that deliver.⁣
⁣
My favorites are the red lipsticks, an obvious starting point as Stefani made it her signature look in the 90s. 💄💄💄💄⁣
⁣
‘I’m Still Here’ is a budge-proof liquid lipstick that’s intensely pigmented, dries down to a matte finish and is super lightweight.⁣
⁣
‘Original Recipe’ is Gwen's signature true red — a luxurious, velvety matte that will stay on for hours without drying out your lips.⁣
⁣
Both shades have the happiness of those rare reds that work with all complexions, so you don’t need to play guessing games with undertones and overtones 💋💋💋⁣
⁣
And both are clean, vegan, and cruelty-free.⁣
⁣
So, yes… the perfect red lipstick does exist. With GXVE. Which, by the way, is pronounced as “give" and was inspired by how Gwen’s signed her name forever — Gx. That’s Gwen with a kiss 💋⁣
⁣
Are you Camp Red Lipstick? Or Camp Subtle? C’mon… SHARE!⁣

Lipstick? Sculpture? Something to casually swipe across your lips? Or a pure work of art?⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Somehow @florasis.official is the rare unicorn that manages to combine all these opposites into one GORGEOUS makeup offering that looks just as dramatic on your vanity as it does on your lips. 💄💄💄💄💄💄⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Scratch that actually... what it needs is its own glass box and spotlight. Get the lips out of the way!!!!!⁠⁣
⁠⁣
This modern Chinese brand is bringing to life heritage Asian legends and crafts for makeup products that have an instant heirloom quality. I mean, hold this intricately engraved lipstick in your hands and you will feel regal. I promise!⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And it's not a superficial feeling. It's one borne from an authentic mastery of the crafts. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Florasis has assembled some of the best artists in China — including Zhou Chunyi, a Master of Miniature Carving, who has collaborated on these carved lipsticks that are inspired by Chinese relief sculpture. 💋👨‍🎨👨‍🎨💋⁠⁣
⁠⁣
The brand also sources local floral essences and medicinal plant extracts for its color cosmetics. These Love Lock lipsticks, for instance, contains extracts of Dendrobium Nobile (an orchid native to southern China) and lotus flower — two beauty ingredients that were highly prized by indigenous Chinese beauties. 🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷⁠⁣
⁠⁣
I still haven't swatched this one because it's just too pretty to touch but I promise to get there soon 😭😭 ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Till then, I will just take it out every once in a while and soak up the pure joy it brings me ❤️🥰⁠⁣
⁠⁣
However, other friends who have been able to get around to actually using them (heartbreak city!) tell me they are super pigmented, lightweight and wear for a long, long time without fading or feathering. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
AND you don't need a passport to get your hands on one — they are available on Amazon (link in bio). 🗺️🌏️⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Would you buy a product and then tuck it away because you can't bear to spoil the way it looks? Or is that just me 🫣😳😵🥶⁠⁣

Buy a perfume and save the earth? Sounds lofty and no one product can actually undo the mess we have made of our planet. But kudos to brands that are trying.⁣
⁣
One of my favorites is @guerlain, which supports the super-endangered bee population through its Guerlain for Bees Conservation Programme. Through this weekend, 20% of the brand's sales will go to the Programme, which runs bee schools, sustainability initiatives & supports beekeepers through the year.⁣
⁣
A great fit, given the beauty brand's long association with bees — ever noticed that their iconic perfume bottles are adorned with a myriad of bees? ⁣
⁣
[Scroll through for closeups — and click the link in bio for whole history of Guerlain and the bees. Trust me, it's FASCINATING.] ⁣
⁣
But why are bees so important? Aren’t they just a pain? And can’t we just live without honey? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
Well, when you consider that 90% of the world’s flowering plants & more than 35% of the food crops rely on these tiny, buzzy workers for pollination — and hence survival — do you still think we can live without them? ⁣
⁣
It’s not just honey, it’s about EVERYTHING. The food we eat, the flowers we love, the life we enjoy. Basically, bees may be the third most important thing for humans after the sun & water. 🐝🐝⁣
⁣
As Einstein said: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” 🌾🌺🥀🌻⁣
⁣
And these bees ARE disappearing at a frightening rate. Think pesticides, deforestation, WiFi signals, mono-cropping… it’s all causing bees to die out. 🌍🌏⁣
⁣
The problem is so serious that the United Nations has designated a World Bee Day (it’s today!). So, how can we help? Some of the easiest ways:⁣
⁣
🐝 Buy raw honey from local farmers ⁣
🐝 Reduce the use of pesticides, fungicides or herbicides⁣
🐝 Get bee-friendly plants for your garden⁣
🐝 Leave a water bowl outside for the pollinators⁣
🐝 Support bee-conscious brands — my other favorites are @burtsbees, @trudon and @gisou ⁣
⁣
And share this post to raise awareness... the decline of bees affects us all!⁣
⁣
Drop a 🐝 in the comments if you agree!

If, like me, you think of perfumes as one of life’s little joyful luxuries, Lancôme’s new Oui, La Vie est Belle is a fragrance that will tick all your boxes. ⁣
⁣
Oui, La Vie est Belle… Yes, Life is Beautiful. 💖💝⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s like a shower of dazzling fireworks… etched in gold on the iconic bottle. ✨✨✨✨⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s like the bottle which evokes the rounded imprint of a smile at the heart of a crystal square. ⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s dressed with the juiciness of raspberries, underlined with uplifting patchouli and overflowing with happy, gorgeous flowers like the powdery Iris, seductive jasmine, opulent Damascene rose and spicy ylang-ylang. 🌹🏵🏵🌹⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it makes me want to sparkle from the inside out. 🌟⭐️🌟✨⁣
⁣
Oui, La Vie est Belle. Yes, life is beautiful. And this perfume has become my reminder of that uplifting, reaffirming fact every single day. It inspires me to take pleasure in the little moments. It lifts my spirits when things get tough. It shines and sparkles when I slip into a silk dress for a night out with friends. And it radiates pure bliss when I don my oldest PJs and snuggle up with a good book for a night all to myself.⁣
⁣
Life is joyfully, utterly beautiful. So is this limited edition fragrance. I promise.⁣
