Hot Oil Treament The Natural Way

I confess.  My hair is salon-virgin. I’ve never tried rebond, perm, relax, or anything.  I am blessed with a nice hair – not the commercial looking silky, shiny nice, but the non-frizzy nice type. 

Another confession.  It’s not that I was blessed with the hair when I was born.  My mother took care of my hair that is why I am blessed.  How?  By using the natural coconut oil (gata) every so often in my hair when I was young.

Coconut oil helped my hair grow straight and black.  It also helped Neo’s hair grow.  Neo was born bald at the top of his head.  Lola Net was worried because he might end up looking like Lolo Jun, so Lola Net diligently put coconut oil in Neo’s head.

Since the last time I used coconut oil in my hair was more than 4 years ago, I decided to do it again last month.  This is how it goes.

Things needed:
*Grated Coconut
*Cotton
*Shower Cap

1)   Squeeze the grated coconut in a bowl.  It is better not to put anything in it, so it would be pure – but I added 5 teaspoon of hot water in mine as we bought it a day before I actually used it.


2)   Heat it in a saucer until it boils.  Leave to warm.

3)   Apply to head – from scalp to the last strand of hair using cotton balls.


4)   Put on shower cap and let it stay for 30mins to 1 hour.

Can you see my photobomber?

5)   Wash thouroughly.

Doing this regimen since I was young had save me trips to the salon.  Lola Net has been doing this for so long that even at her age (I wont divulge but she’s not young) she has minimal number of white hair.

So try it for yourself J

The Start of the Ber-months Has Arrived!

I am so excited.  It’s 115 days to go before Christmas J


I know I told you that last year was supposedly the year that Neo would know what Christmas means, but I have be honest, he didn't L  So I am hoping this year is when he will enjoy the festivities most.

So what are we planning to do?

DECORATE THE HOUSE with a lot of Christmas decors J  I’ve already started shopping for some (because I will just recycle those that are still reusable from last year.)

HAVE OUR OWN CHRISTMAS TREE.  Yes we have our live Christmas tree in our small garden, but I can't put gifts below it (because it will get drenched when it rains)  so I’m planning on having a small Christmas tree inside the house.

PLAY CHRISTMAS SONGS.  I think this is the right time for us to play a lot of christmas songs in our house.  I’d love to hear Neo sing his own version of “Jingle Bells” when Christmas arrives so we better start practicing now.

SHOP FOR GIFTS.  I love giving gifts.  I honestly feel more pleasure in giving than receiving christmas gifts.  But I feel bad when Neo don't receive gifts, so I make sure to wrap a lot of gifts for him J  So we need to shop early.  Nothing beats early christmas shopping.

PLAN THE HOLIDAYS. Where to spend the holidays is always something to look forward to – whether its in our house or the grandparents or a getaway.  Need to plan and set a budget.

How about you?  What are your preparations and plans for Christmas?
