Red Palm Oil

I've been on a coconut oil kick since I read about it's countless benefits a few years ago.  I use it while cooking, as well as for natural beauty products and remedies.  I keep it on hand at the house at all times.  See my post on coconut oil for more details regarding this oil.  So now I've read up on red palm oil, another great option for health and beauty concerns.  See the link below from Livestrong.  I currently use rpo for cooking everything that calls for oil.  It can also be used for oil hair treatments and applied to the skin.  The down fall is that this oil is even messier than coconut oil-  it's red and has a bit of a staining effect.  But it's still worth considering based off all of it's benefits!  Try an organic version to be sure you get a true product. http://www.livestrong.com/article/198458-what-are-the-benefits-of-palm-oil-on-hair skin/ Here is a link discussing the differences between the two oils, if you are now torn

Hair Rules - The Hair Process that Changed My Life

Looking for better hair days, try the LOC method-  this is my tried and loved process for getting my hair to finally work with my schedule. For liquid, I typically just use the moisture from the shower to work through my hair.  I then apply an oil (moroccan argan oil or Jamaican black castor oil), and complete my routine with some type of creamy moisturizer, usually Camille Rose or Jane Carter.  And this equals success on most days! http://www.curlynikki.com/2013/09/loc-method-hair-routine-every-curly.html
