Miraculous Monoi
July 11, 2008 by Courtney
An ancient Polynesian beauty secret can still give you strong, beautiful hair today: monoi oil. A blend of coconut oil and the exotic tiare flower, this oil is scrumptiously scented (like a floral-accented cake) and powerfully moisturizing.
Monoi oil can be used as an overnight oil treatment to heal dry hair, soothe irritated scalps and seal split ends. Coat your hair evenly, cover with a shower cap, and sleep on it. Wash in the morning with your usual shampoo and conditioner, and discover healthy, island scented hair! If your hair tends to be oily, apply only to ends.
One to try: The Body Shop’s Spa Wisdom Monoi Miracle Oil ($20.00) can be used as a bath oil and moisturizer in addition to hair treatment!
