Particularly loved by Indian women with thick, long locks, coconut oil has been used for thousands of years to keep hair shiny, soft and luscious. Even if you don’t have Indian genes, you can achieve that beautiful sun reflecting hair. Dip a towel in coconut oil and rub into the hair from root to tip. Comb through to make sure that it gets to every strand. Cover your head and leave on overnight. Wash off in the morning and you will be stunned by the shine on your hair.
