Coconut Oil Hair Mask

Hey y'all!

I am in love with Coconut Oil. I use it for everything, from makeup remover, to a moisturizer, and even cooking with it. It's amazing!

I have oily/combo skin and I was hesitant to use it as a hair mask thinking it would turn out to be a total mess or I wouldn't be able to wash it all out. Well after seeing how amazingly soft and full it made my eyelashes and brows.

I thought, the hell with it. I'm gonna try it.
3 day hair. Before.

Today I did just that! I took about two and a half heaping teaspoon fulls of organic Coconut Oil and put it in a microwavable safe container. Nuked it for 30 seconds and then poured it all over my head.



I was worried at first I did not have enough for all of my hair but once I kept working it in with my fingers it was just right.

I twisted my hair up into a loose knot and clipped it to my head. Then let it sit for 5 hours.


I watched a little TV, groomed my Standard Poodle, and baked some cupcakes. I would imagine you could leave it in over night if you have really damaged hair. But, it was hair washing day for me and I had a few hours to kill before taking a shower. I used a tea tree shampoo mainly on my scalp and then used conditioner on just the ends.


I towel dried and then just let it air dry.

It turned out so smooth and shiny I kept wanting to touch it. I had no excess oil build up any where and it smelled wonderful.

After!


I will definitely be adding a Coconut Oil Hair Mask to my hair care routine. I'm thinking once a month should suffice.

Let me know if you try it and how you like it.

Ta for now,
Kayla

I Used To Groom Dogs

Image
Hey Everyone! So as you may or may not know I am an avid animal lover but my personal faves are dogs. I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I wanted stuffed puppies before ever wanting a baby doll to play with and The Littlest Pet Shop was the shit. I was in 4-H for 5 years with dogs, even briefly trained dogs. Dog shows are my sporting events of choice. I rescued dogs for many years but purebreds will always have my heart. I started grooming dogs in 2004 when I was 18. I loved it, getting to be around dogs all day meeting new breeds and making the dogs (and owners) feel good. In April of 2016 I was able to move my little home run shop into a rental space in the heart of downtown. I was so excited. I though this is it. I'm doing the thing I've always wanted to do. But it seams that happiness for me is only a fleeting notion because my body can no longer cope with the demands of my job. Long story, an MRI and a couple of months of physical therapy, short I g...

November Favorites 2014

Image
It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave...

Dogs.

Hey everyone! I am a self proclaimed Dog Snob. I love dogs and the sport of showing dogs. Anything involved with dogs, I love. Now I say Snob because I prefer purebreds. Mutts are great, I have several but my heart is pedigreed. This is also why I love being a pet groomer, getting to be hands on with so many different breeds and making them look as close as I can to their breed type is a thrill for me. I have always wanted to breed/show purebred dogs. Westminster is like the Super Bowl for me, I love reading about animal genetics, and raising puppies. But getting a breeder of quality dogs to give a virtual 'noobie' like me a puppy in the my chosen breed is nearly impossible. Now my breed of choice is the Poodle. Big or small I love them all but trying to find a healthy, well bred companion Toy Poodle is nearly impossible, almost as impossible as getting one from a show breeder. I was heavily involved with animal rescue for many years and I will always lend a hand to a d...
