There was some questions and talk around the Batty’s Bath studio this week about how to deal with unruly, frizz hair. While I will provide a quick “band-aide” solution in upcoming posts to help you deal with the symptoms of damaged hair, like being unruly, frizzy, breakage, etc… This post is about how to heal your hair so you start working towards solving the problem of damaged hair first!
There are many products on the market claiming to calm frizzy hair. One of these products that are part of the “natural care” world that I am sure you have heard of to tame this type of mane is Moroccan oil.
Moroccan oil is touted as being able to lubricate and help to rebuild the broken hair cuticle which takes away the frizz. This oil is also said to help make the hair shinier as well as help it grow faster. I know, when you heard about it, it’s like wow! The frizzy hair miracle!
However I’m sorry to bust your hair cuticle, but this is one of those infamous hair myths. Sadly, even though it is natural and smells good, it just didn’t get the job done for the hair frizz blues!
Moroccan oil is like the mineral oil of the hair care world, it just lubricates the top layer.
Moroccan oil doesn’t really do anything to heal the hair and banish frizz into oblivion. So what to do you ask? How can I heal my hair without nasty chemicals?
The answer is the oil of our tropical friend the coconut! Coconut oil not only helps to lubricate the hair, rebuild the broken hair cuticle, but it actually penetrates your beautiful locks, for 360 degrees hair health. Coconut oil unlike Moroccan oil contains an essential acid called lauric acid. Lauric acid is what helps this oil penetrate your hair, and moisturize it from the inside out. Coconut oil also helps the hair to retain moisture (which is really important when your hair is already looking crazy!). This is due to it not being easily broken down and coconut oil being high in moisture. Wow!. It also has vitamin E, which helps to keep hair in good health.
Coconut oil is the solution no matter how your hair got frizzy, whether it be from being in the sun too much, genetics, or chemical damage (coloring, perms), and too much heat (curling irons, blow dryers etc).
Here at Batty’s Bath, we know the power of the lovely coconut.
You can find it in the hair serum, which is chock full of coconut, as well as in our shampoo bar!
