I use it as a face serum, tissue oil, body oil, bath oil, lip balm, make up remover, teeth whitener, hair treatment oil and more. Definitely recommend to have coconut oil in the house ]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2020 19:39:48 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40973/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40973/ MPL hairfood as been a pivotal part of my childhood and I absolutely love the smell of the original and coconut. It leaves your hair nourished and well moisturized without leaving excessive residue as the day progresses. Great for baseing your scalp when you have braids. ]]> Mon, 11 Nov 2019 05:56:12 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40969/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40969/ MPL has been a product I have used for years. It’s an old time favorite that just got better. I love how they have evolved and added new versions of the product, to cater to all hair problems. This oil is great for all types of hair, whether used to base the scalp or just help maintain the hairs moisture. Love it and would recommend it, plus it doesn’t break the bank, and a little goes a long way. ]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2019 19:22:26 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40958/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40958/ I transitioned back to natural hair about two years ago, and have been experimenting with a lot of different products to see what works best for my #4CHair. I can safely say I've figured out what my hair loves and what product to use for my desired effect. I've always used MPL hair oil alternating between the Coconut oil and the Sure To Grow oil to help restore my edges. Currently my hair is the healthiest and longest it's ever been. I find the MPL Coconut oil helps keep my hair moisturized for longer (my hair finds it hard to retain moisture) and makes styling much easier. I would definitely recommend this product for someone wanting thicker, stronger hair. ]]> Thu, 07 Nov 2019 11:47:07 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40955/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40955/ All the product did was make my hair overly oily but had no growth or moisture effects ]]> Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:17:25 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40953/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40953/ I always mix it in whatever hairfood I purchase, it works wonders for hair shine, growth and hairline maintance. ]]> Tue, 05 Nov 2019 08:50:02 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40947/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40947/ This product was my mothers holy grail hair product and she passed it down to me. It is the best hair oil I've used. I use it to base my scalp every day or every 2 days and I use it on my hairline. It really works wonders. I used it when I had relaxed hair and also use it on my now natural hair and also when I have braids in or sew-ins. I would definitely reccomend it to relaxed and natural hair types as well as for people with dry itchy scalp and receding hair lines due to braids, it moisturizes the hair, smells great and stimulates hair growth. ]]> Mon, 04 Nov 2019 10:23:16 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40939/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/40939/ MPL coconut oil for hair has helped me restore my hairline after doing braids. I can slowly see changes and I love the smell of coconut in it, the oil moisturise your hair leaving it shiny and with good texture. It can be styled as desired after using MPL, the other thing I love about MPL is that it hydrates your scalp. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone suffering with dry hair & scalp as well as someone who wanna grow their hair and restore their hairline. ]]> Sun, 03 Nov 2019 00:22:54 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/38159/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/38159/ Perfect for growth and damage repair.

After giving birth i experienced a lot of shedding, esp along my hairline, due to post partum shedding and then I started using this product, i used it in my pre poo treatments, in my deep conditioner and as a scalp massage oil. It has made a heck of a difference. My hair is no longer shedding, its grown thicker and my hairline is growing in. I purchased it from Clicks and the price was not too bad,it was just slightly below R200. Hands down, best product for regrowing my hairline! ]]> Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:13:41 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/sofn-free-styling-gel-medium-hold/discussions/35136/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/sofn-free-styling-gel-medium-hold/discussions/35136/ I don't really have long hair, so typing a high pony has and continues to be a dream :) But i have used this product before, for awhile. I normally used it when I had a clip on pony it pt onto my hair and the gel would keep my hair down. It's a great product, doesn't flake at all. You need to apply it to relaxed hair, it worked and looked better then. I did try it on natural hair and it didn't work very well and required you to use more of the product which i thought was a waste. Once applied on relaxed hair, you don't really have to keep reapplying, I only did touch-ups once a week. It smells good as well, and it is very easy to just wash out. I am not using the product at the moment because I am growing my hair naturally. ]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2018 13:52:01 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-amla-legend-sleek-repair-spray/discussions/34781/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-amla-legend-sleek-repair-spray/discussions/34781/ This is my first heat protector and I don't see myself buying different one apart from this one. Not only does it protect your from heat damage and restores moisture into the hair but it also makes combing through knots much easier. It also helps define your curls when using heat-less techniques such as bantu knots or braid-outs and prevents any moisture loss due to the elements of nature. It definitely deserves a thumbs-up! ]]> Wed, 25 Oct 2017 07:19:24 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/34647/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/34647/ If coconut oil is not in your beauty kit, then do yourself a huge favour and buy yourself some. Coconut oil has so many uses, and it's 100% natural. This miracle oil can be used topically on your hair, your nails, your skin and on your teeth. (Hello , oil pulling!) And it's amazingly beneficial when ingested, because it's a good fat. Organic virgin oil is always the best, but it's also the most expensive. You can choose the type that suits your needs. I personally have purchased a one-litre tub of the Lifestyle Foods coconut oil from Dischem, and it lasts for ages. Plus, coconut oil has a million other uses for your household, garden and food. There's honestly no reason NOT to have some coconut oil handy. It's like Vaseline: totally multi-purpose. ]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2017 17:32:50 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/34629/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/34629/ I've tried every brand available to me because I love this stuff that much.. As a moisturiser, there's nothing better for me. I use this on my body and hair religiously.. During winter it was a lifesaver because dry skin really plagues me at that time of year. My hair has always known coconut oil since I was a child, tnx to mom and it has benefitted tremendously.. I'm addicted to coconut oil. I particularly love the smell of it. I cook with Virgin coconut oil as well..

This is the real McCoy and beauty addicts around the globe are raving about it! This multi purpose oil is great for thickening eyebrows & lashes. It is a great treatment for receding hairlines and overall hair health. I use this as a hot oil treatments once a week mixed with almond, coconut abs olive oils. The result.. shiny and healthy tresses! Regarding the brows and lashes. It's been 2 weeks and I can honestly see a difference! My brows are much darker and seem thicker. Ooh la la!

I recently shaved my hair off because of dandruff and I got coconut oil as it is well recommended for dandruff prone scalp and I've been using it for over a year in my 6 year natural hair journey. I apply it daily to keep my scalp moisturized and since it promotes hair growth it is a plus. It doesn't leave my hair or scalp greasy as i find it absorbs into my scalp in a few hours. The jar i bought is 156g and trust me when I say a Little goes a long way. Its very important to moisturize your scalp more than your hair this i say because the hair grows from the scalp, so when you moisturise the hair from the root it grows better, stronger and thicker. Always cut your split ends every 4-6 months then add the coconut oil to your ends to leave them conditioned which prevents hair breakage. Texture: It has a smooth, soft texture with small balls in the mixture that melt off as you rub the product onto your hair. Not Thick but lightweight. Scent: Beautiful smell almost like cherry labello (lip balm). ]]> Sat, 13 May 2017 23:45:07 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-tea-tree-oil/discussions/31904/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-tea-tree-oil/discussions/31904/ I was not particularly wowed by this product. Tea Tree Oil is not top of the list in the ingredients. It is preceded by coconut oil, castor oil and vitamin E... so... is it really tea tree oil??? It's not really an oil, it's more of the hair food texture and consistency but it melts easily when exposed to warmer temperatures. The scent can get a bit overwhelming, but if you don't mind it then you have nothing to worry about It left my hair looking greasy and heavy, but I have never liked this look so it was a big no for me. Even though applied to the scalp, it also travels onto the hair strands because nature. It does help with flakiness if that's a problem for you and your scalp. It does also contain PETROLATUM, PARAFFIN and ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE, among other things, but if you're not fussy then grab yourself a jar. ]]> Wed, 14 Dec 2016 12:06:23 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/31347/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/31347/ This product would best suit someone who is looking for a product which is inexpensive but effective. ]]> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 19:37:13 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-moisture-plus-satin-oil/discussions/30616/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-moisture-plus-satin-oil/discussions/30616/ I love this product! The smell kind of reminded me of my relaxed hair days and the D&L products I used back in the day. It's a great cheap oil that really works. A little goes a long way so don't be alarmed by the size. This would be great to use in the LOC method. I have braids now but will definitely use on my natural hair. ]]> Mon, 19 Sep 2016 08:41:20 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-hairepair-vital-oils-for-hair-and-scalp/discussions/30334/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-hairepair-vital-oils-for-hair-and-scalp/discussions/30334/ excellent product for dry and brittle hair, it really replaces the moisture and help with dry hair ]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:27:39 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-amla-legend-sleek-repair-spray/discussions/28949/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-amla-legend-sleek-repair-spray/discussions/28949/ I grew up using Dark and Lovely and I am always excited to use their new products. Because I relax my hair and I love it when my hair is sleek and straight, I tend to over-do-it with the hair straightener or dryer. I haven't relaxed my hair since February - so you can imagine the amount of growth happening (I am trying to minimize the number of times I relax my hair a year). Hopefully, the hair gods will help me stop with my little fetish. Because I haven't relaxed for a while, keeping my hair straight has become a bit of a mission coz I am all about that straightener, but I am so petrified that I am causing damage to my hair, since I straighten it so much...then this little beauty landed on my desk so I was happy to try something new. Dark and Lovely’s Alma Oil’s intense moisture rejuvenates every strand of your hair. It left my hair looking thick and healthy and not all like it was breaking. After a few weeks of using it; my hair didn’t break. The Alma oil restored shine to my awesome hair and it is soft and smooth. I think I just found a must have for winter, especially if you are going to be keeping your natural hair or most importantly if you are going to have a weave. If you live in Cape Town, this is definitely a must, as we all know it tends to rain here in winter. Posting pictures soon :-) ]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2016 13:21:28 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/sunny-isle-jamaican-black-castor-oil/discussions/28946/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/sunny-isle-jamaican-black-castor-oil/discussions/28946/ I love Castor oil but Jamaican Black castor oil is the ish:) It leaves the scalp dandruff free and works wonders for hairlines and thickening your hair. Since I started using it my hair has gotten really thick and strong and my edges have been full until i got my son then had to use other stuff to rescue my hairline because post pregnancy hair-shedding got the best of me. But all in all, this is a really good oil and should be incorporated into your daily hair-care routine to get the most out of it, because when done right it works wonders for your hair. ]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2016 09:47:37 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-amla-oil-of-7-wonders/discussions/28420/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-amla-oil-of-7-wonders/discussions/28420/ Just tried the relaxer for the first time over the weekend. Thought i needed a break from my natural curls that are usually hard to straighten out with a flat iron alone. I was pleasantly suprized! after relaxing i tried the oil of 7 wonders and im not going back! my hair feels so smooth and soft . my hair is pretty dry but i have NOO problems with this product. it helped with my dandruff and itchy scalp from the first use. definitely my new best friend!

It is a light-weight spray that moisturises hair with little build up, and it relieves an itchy and dry scalp. It has a non-greasy formula and helps to prevent breakage. This product is targeted at people with locks but it works superb on other hair types as well. It leaves hair soft and manageable. ]]> Thu, 10 Mar 2016 23:50:23 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/28035/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/28035/ On my search for coconut oils, I tried this one out too. I found it to be too think and it would evaporate rather quickly so my hair didn't stay moisturised for long. I prefer the Extra Virgin Coconut oil. It was quite cheap though I had to use it more frequently. ]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:40:32 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/28004/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/28004/ Dry Skin? Try Coconut Oil Dry Hair? Try Coconut Oil Need to remove make-up? Try Coconut Oil Uneven skin tone? Try Coconut Oil The list is endless... I believe in oil so much that I use it on my hair AND skin on a daily basis. It does not have much of an odour and does not leave my skin or hair feeling greasy. Unlike other oils, coconut oil can go from solid to liquid quite fast depending on the temperature that it is exposed to. I use it as a pre-shampoo treatment because it penetrates the hair shaft well. This way I know that my hair won’t be left dry or dehydrated after I shampoo. If your conditioner does not have enough slip, a few teaspoons of coconut oil will help with that. This will leave you with that baby soft afro feeling. When used on the skin consistently, it can reduce the appearance of dark marks. ]]> Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:34:56 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-moisture-plus-satin-oil/discussions/27950/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/dark-and-lovely-moisture-plus-satin-oil/discussions/27950/ When I received this oil I was sceptical about the size. I thought it was too small and would be finished in no time, but I was impressed and happy to be proved wrong. This oil has become a trusted member in my hair care routine for the days when I don't feel like mixing my own carrier oils. The L.O.C method is great and this oil helps me achieve the "O" - Oil part of my moisturising technique. It smells divine and a little goes a long way so the bottle lasts a reasonable time. I have also used it as a hot oil treatment and it left my hair smelling good and moisturised. I didn't like the fact that it contained mineral oils, but that's a personal thing for me. ]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2016 07:13:37 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27856/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27856/ What I love the most about coconut oil is that is NATURAL. no fragrances and anything that could possibly irritate my skin or scalp. As everyone has mentioned this miracle product can be almost everything. This is how I use it to soften, strengthen and grow my natural hair. 1. MOISTURIZER/SPRITZER: Because virgin changes state from liquid/solid in different temperatures it lends itself to different containers. Use an old spray bottle, melt your coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave, pour it into the spray bottle then add some warm water and voila- daily spritzer! I use this to spray may hair almost every morning especially if I haven't done anything to it the night before. Or (secret), I carry it in my bag and spritz throughout the day when I feel heat has worn out my strands. 2. LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER: Because this is an oil its best for moisturizing and strengthening weak strands and not leaving your scalp layered wit thick product. After an evening wash(with conditioner) or event wetting your hair with warm water, towel dry your hair and rub some coconut oil through your hair and scalp. Tie or braid your hair into four sections to seal in moisture, wrap your head in a sating scarf and your hair is soft, stretched and strengthened the next morning. 3. FOR EVEN-TONED SKIN: Steps: 1. Steam or wash face 2. To dry, lightly dab with a towel without completely drying it 3. Apply coconut oil This is best done the night before, the heat from warm water opens your pores improving the absorption potential of the coconut oil. Result: Soft skin, improved appearance of black heads and improved skin tone ]]> Tue, 16 Feb 2016 20:42:31 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27807/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27807/ One of my earliest memories of childhood is of coconut oil lol, thats how small I was when my mom started using it on my hair. Years later it is still something that I never run out off. We all know by now the many wonders of coconut oil ,it's even included in my beauty regiment. I've tried various brands over the years and thumbs up to all of them. The one I'm currently using is from the Dabur vatika brand. I use it once a week,massaging it into my hair and scalp really well then wash off the next morning. It makes such a difference to my hair ,I can really see and feel how healthy it makes it. Over time it's said to improve thickness, something that I'm looking forward too and will keep you updated on that. ]]> Tue, 09 Feb 2016 10:14:45 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27495/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27495/ love this coconut oil to the moon and beyond, really leaves my feeling soft and moisturized and is a great pre-poo as well. ]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 09:51:16 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-hairepair-silkening-serum/discussions/27491/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-hairepair-silkening-serum/discussions/27491/ Enriched with argon and coconut oil, the ORS Hairepair Silkening Serum left my hair feeling great. I try not to relax my hair too often, so when I am in-between protective styles I just get a hair treatment and keep my hair natural for a while. I obviously love my hair straight so I go to town on it with my straightener. I loved the way my hair felt after straightening it. The serum didn’t leave a sticky residue at all and left my hair feeling weightless and gorgeous. It is even felt better after I have relaxed my hair. It is perfect for both relaxed and natural hair. Absolutely worth every penny! ]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 08:14:45 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27467/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/27467/ The uses for coconut oil are endless! I bought one tub of virgin coconut oil and I use it for everything from cooking to hair! Its a beauty secret that I cant believe I didnt know of sooner! I use it as a hair mask once a week for damaged hair and to promote hair growth. I also mixed a few spoons in a spray bottle with water and salt for an amazing beach waves spray! I know there are shampoos and treatments that contain coconut oil but I find the raw, real thing much better and cheaper! Its great directly on skin as a moisturiser and as a make up remover - its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal so it wont block pores! And it smells great too! ]]> Wed, 20 Jan 2016 12:50:28 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/sunny-isle-jamaican-black-castor-oil/discussions/27459/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/sunny-isle-jamaican-black-castor-oil/discussions/27459/ Since i started using this my hair strength actually increased and im experiencing less breakage.

After rubbing a few drops into my hair and scalp, it leaves my hair feeling softer and shinier. I've used it daily since I received it from Beauty Bulletin :D. It's an oil but it doesn't make my hair look or feel oily although you have to make sure to use just a few drops on dry hair. The scent is pleasant and subtle which i love. A great affordable product and one that I will carry on using.

I have been using it for a few months now, and can safely say that its one of the best oils for hair out there currently. I have relaxed hair, and i use it in conjunction with the Billion Hair Potion also from dark and lovely, and base my scalp with the product at least once a week. After a few weeks hair looks shiner, feels thicker and looks healthy too, without dry patches. Its great when you massage it into your scalp, as it stimulates blood flow to the scalp and encourages hair growth. I love this product!

I used the basic method of oil pulling where you melt the oil and use it like mouthwash. I lasted 11 minutes before the thought of all my spit expanding in my mouth freaked me out enough that I had to stop! I did not notice an immediate difference but that evening I had an EXCRUCIATING headache - which in itself was awful but the coconut oil is supposed to pull out toxins from your body and clearly it had done that job. I have not yet used this oil on my hair, but I hear it works miracles. Personally I find it to be amazing when used as a lip balm and for frying veggies :) ]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:34:15 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/20262/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/20262/ Consistanty/smell: liquid form on warmer days and solid on colder days. light coconutish smell Price: About R50 for a 1lt (Quinns Brands @ Spar) I am so in love with coconut oil. I use it face, body and hair. It's great :) Face routine: I wash my face at night and then I massage a small amount onto my face, I've seen a great difference and the dark circle under my eyes are much lighter. My face feel moisturized and soft with a nice glow. Body routine: I apply a small amount under my armpits after I bath and there the dark marks have really lighten. I also use it after I shave, makes it really soft and relieves the burning. Hair routine: I prepoo with coconut oil, so basically I heat up some coconut oil and massage it into my scalp and the length of my hair before each wash, I put on a plastic cap for about an 1hour. I then rinse my hair and shampoo, then I add a little more coconut oil to my deep conditioner or normal conditioner and let that sit for about 30 minutes. I rollerset and apply a little again. On dry hair I apply coconut oil to the length of my hair each time I moisturize. My hair is softer, stronger, longer and healthier than ever. Would I buy it again: Hell YES !! I love this stuff. It's so versitile that it can be used for anything ]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:13:45 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/20031/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/20031/ Coconut oil is so awesome you can use it for many things and it is really good for your health. I personally use it every night and massage it into my scalp it gives great results for hair growth and it leaves my hair looking healthy! Another thing I use it for is to remove my make up works like a bomb. Also much more healthier to use coconut oil for cooking your food.

I've suffered from eczema all my life and I've been worried about the effects of using creams containing cortisone on my skin. Cortisone is known to thin the skin, but coconut oil provides an all-natural alternative. Rub coconut oil on affected areas before bed, leave it on overnight and you'll soon see results. WARNING: It can stain sheets, so use the 'less is more' method or use an old sheet. ]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2014 07:01:14 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/19724/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/19724/ Not only for cooking, Coconut oil works wonders when used as a conditioner, i also use it all over my body before i go to bed. When using as a conditioner or treatment it may be best to use when you wont be seeing anyone the next day, i found after using it and washing it out, it was sort of oily until the next wash, after my second wash my hair was in the best condition it had been in ages. when i use it on my skin, my skin has this glow about it the next day (totes devine, but it oil, so beware) No need to use the expensive coconut oil (extra Virgin) you can purchase a small 100ml at a pharmacy, i paid R13 for mine. and then i buy the better quality for cooking with (which is incredible) ]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2014 08:58:05 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/18703/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/18703/ I absolutely love this used as a lip balm and as a hair mask!

Not only can you eat it and cook with it BUT you can use it for your beauty needs as well, hair body nails, coconut oil has a use. For my hair I like to apply coconut oil at night, wrap my hair in a disposable shower cap and sleep with my hair like thirst, in the morning I do a double shampoo and condition and wash all the remnants away. If you don't have the time to do that you can apply to your hair leave for 20-30 minutes while blowing hot air from a hair dryer onto it and then wash out. This leaves your hair silky, smooth and shiny, it's my favorite way to use coconut oil. For nails and hands you can use coconut oil in place of hand cream or cuticle oil, in fact it is so good for your hands and nails because it is one hundred percent natural! For your face/ body, you can use coconut oil to treat acne, eczema, pigmentation, and many more. It is perfect for applying just after your bath but like most oils will take a while to soak into you skin. Don't forget a little goes a long way. It is great as an all over body moisturizer and leaves your skin feeling supple and smooth, with a healthy glow. ]]> Sat, 12 Jul 2014 05:13:36 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/17690/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/coconut-oil-2/discussions/17690/ Coconut oil is a God sent, it is extemely beneficial to the hair and aids in hair growth and health as well!!

A friend told me to try coconut oil and see what happens. Whats the worst that could happen? I tried it and well, the worst that could happen was that I could get completely mesmerised by the results...and the worst did indeed happen...which was also the best. After using once, I could feel and see an enormous improvement. It also added to giving my hair more volume. Researching coconut oil for hair, I found some of the following problems CO could be a solution for: ?Dry hair; ?Split ends ?.Fly aways (also known as baby hair) ?it helps hair grow faster ?hair with tendency to break ?hair that falls out easily With all of those perks, why wouldn't you try it? And guess what.......it doesn't make your hair oily at all!

Well, with me, at least. Just as with the rest of the range, the first thing that makes me smile about this Oil of 7 Wonders is the lovely scent. Because I had never used an oil such as this one, I looked at the directions for use and they turned out to be a bit confusing for me. The directions indicated that you can use the the oil by, Applying directly to wet hair, add some to your regular hair conditioner or for use in a hot oil treatment. At no point do they indicate how much you should use. And so, On my first application to wet hair, I put way too much. I'm not sure how much i put because I squirted it directly to my hair (silly me) and did not squirt a bit on my hands then apply to my hair, as i probably should have. Anyway, My hair was not greasy looking, but looked very much ''alive'' for the next few days. Since I do not know how to do a hot oil treatment, I have not done one using this oil. I have not added the oil of 7 wonders to any conditioner because I'm a fan of 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner and I'm not sure if it would work out well if I added the oil to it. So, for now, I will only apply a couple of R5 coin sized amounts to wet hair after washing it. The oil is fantastic for those with dry and brittle hair, as well as those with course hair. My hair is easier to comb, even a few days after applying the Oil of 7 wonders. It's not the best product on the market based on the fact that I don't know how to use it to its full potential. But it smells great and helps give your hair a boost. ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2014 13:27:30 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/jamaican-mango-and-lime-cactus-gro/discussions/16693/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/jamaican-mango-and-lime-cactus-gro/discussions/16693/ Jamaican Mango & Lime Cactus Gro thickens & strengthens, prevents breakage, repairs & heals. The Cactus Gro balm is infused with cactus extracts specifically designed to retain moisture from the environment to soften & condition dry and damaged locs & hair. I bought this Cactus Gro from Clicks for R28 and I applied it 3 times a week. At times, I used to use it as a treatment by applying it on my scalp and placing a warm towel on my head for 3-5minutes. This I used to do a day or two before I shampoo my hair. It is really tingly on application. It contains olive oil & carrot oil in addition to the cactus extract. However, this product does contain mineral oil & petrolatum. ]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:46:04 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-tea-tree-oil/discussions/16408/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-tea-tree-oil/discussions/16408/ ORS Tea Tree Oil is a soothing scalp and hair oil. It relieved my dry scalp, restored moisture and added shine to dry, dull hair. I applied a small amount and massaged it into my scalp. It does cause a slight tingly sensation on application. It is a good product. It does contain petrolatum. ]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:46:50 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-jojoba-oil/discussions/16407/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-jojoba-oil/discussions/16407/ ORS Jojoba Oil is a lightweight oil which added moisture and shine to my hair when I was using the product. My hair felt very conditioned. If too much product is used, hair can get oily and the product may drip on your forehead:). However, the ORS product is not a pure oil as the jojoba oil is listed as one of the many ingredients and it also contains petrolatum. This product is great unless you are looking for the real deal. Pure jojoba oil tends to be pricy but it is the best in my opinion. ]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:33:12 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-coconut-oil/discussions/16406/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/ors-coconut-oil/discussions/16406/ The ORS coconut oil is very lightweight and has a lovely light smell. When I used it, it made my hair soft and shiny. The only downside is that the coconut oil is only listed as one of the ingredients and that it contains petrolatum. It is a great product but I personally feel that it is best to buy pure coconut oil from Dischem and any other health shops because you can get a 500g tub for the same price and the product is pure coconut oil. ]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:18:41 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/15966/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/15966/ I Started using MPL Coconut oil by chance, when my hairstylist just put some for me after I had relaxed my hair. Personally I enjoy this product but I use it sparingly. How to use Option 1: You can use it like you would any treatment put a bit onto your scalp and a tiny amount onto your hair. Option 2 (my favorite) : use it as a hot (hot) oil treatment, the oil on its own once on the scalp has a warm sensation, in this method you can boil a cup of water and put your oil inside the cup of water to heat it up some more. thereafter you can apply to your scalp. I love this method because it feels so wonderful and it speeds up the process and strengthens my hair. (if you want to go the extra mile, you can then proceed with the inversion method http://naijahaircangrow.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-inversion-test-results-are-in.html ) Pros: Strengthens and promotes hair growth, also helps with itching. Cons: It is a very heavy concentrated oil, so use it sparingly. It also doesn't smell so great. I use my oil about twice a month, i just make sure to use it around times where I know i will be washing my hair as i do not like the smell. Price & Purchase Points I usually buy mine at clicks, however I have seen it at small salons as well as many supermarkets. It does not cost above R100 I just can not remember the price. ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:21:00 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/15927/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/mpl-coconut-hair-oil/discussions/15927/ This is a great product for natural and relaxed ethnic hair. Since ethnic hair continuously needs a well moisturized scalp, the MPL Hair Oil - Coconut is the best option, and I have been using it for the past 4 years on my natural hair. For best results use it as a scalp treatment after every hair wash. Leaves the scalp well moisturized, without being greasy. The coconut factor nourishes and feeds the root of the hair. This stimulates hair growth and gives your hair volume and strength. I definitely would recommend especially to those with receding hairlines and hair that is braided or weaved as a scalp treatment. ]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:05:39 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/motions-marula-natural-therapy-hair-and-scalp-oil/discussions/13465/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/motions-marula-natural-therapy-hair-and-scalp-oil/discussions/13465/ Overall it is a great product but since the marketing point of the product is the 100% African Marula oil, which you find is only listed as one of the ingredients, I believe it is best to buy the pure Marula oil and mix it with your favourite carrier oils. SA is one of the major exporters of the pure Marula oil (a major plus). There will also be the added bonus of being able to use the pure Marula oil on your skin as well. ]]> Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:23:47 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/tingly-fresh/discussions/5859/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/tingly-fresh/discussions/5859/ When I used this for the 1st time, all I could think of was mint gum, an as the shampoo touched my scalp, immediately the tingly feeling from the mint set it. After two washes, rinse then blow dry, my hair felt so light (could be of the minty fresh feeling) but by the 3rd time I washed my hair with this shampoo, my dandruff was completely gone and my hair still looked fabulous - shine and dandruff free. ]]> Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:50:45 +0000
