Coconut oil is one of the most popular oils among natural heads, first because its can be used as a sealant and also because it helps  moisturize the hair....Coconut oil is gotten from coconut(obviously).
A small jar is sold for 1500 naira and trust me its worth every coin..Am going to be sharing how to make your own coconut oil, right there at home, in your kitchen....

                                  USES OF COCONUT OIL

 According to experts, coconut oil is used in every beauty and hair products because its antibacterial and anti fungal..Its also a good moisturiser and it penetrates the hair better than other oils..it also prevents hair loss and adds shine to your hair....

PREP TIME:                                    20 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME                                          24 HRS

                         

                                                             INGREDIENTS

                                                 DIRECTIONS  


    STEP 1; break the coconut and remove from the shell and cut into tiny pieces . Pour in your blender and add enough water so that the blender's blade can go through them easily.


   STEP 2 ; scoop in a bowl and squeeze out the juice using a sieve and then cover overnight




   STEP 3: the next morning, the juice would have some particles floating on top of it, scoop these particles or better still sieve your juice again and transfer the particles left in the sieve into a 'not so important' fry pan and fry, after frying  for about a minute, the oil begins to separate itself from the particles. turn off the burner and pour in a container and your coconut oil is ready for use..




so, there you have it, instead of spending a fortune on a store-bought coconut oil why not DIY....AND the smell is divine not like our dear shea butter..
