Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil for Hair Treatment Review CLOSED

Closed.
Congrats to winner: Nothing of the Sort said...
One of the characteristics is, the Gold Label standard is the highest standard for Virgin Coconut Oil.



   Recently I was lucky enough to get the chance to try Tropical Traditions' Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for review and I loved it! After that, I was given another chance to review one of their many other incredible products, and I must say it was a hard choice because Tropical Traditions has alot of products to choose from! I chose the Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for Hair Treament because my hair needed some help.
  My hair is long and blonde.  I def. have damage effects from highlighting and using heat on my hair.  I knew this would be a great item that I could hopefully benefit from.  It was!  One thing that quickly caught my eye was that the coconut oil hair treatment works with all types of hair. I loved that I didn't have to have 2 or 3 different products for all the different hair types in our home. I also read on the jar that this product can be used for dry scalp too.
   After shampooing , I rubbed the coconut oil into the ends of my hair and worked it all the way up to my scalp. The hair treatment had a great texture and smell to it. It felt fresh and made my hair smooth. I love the coconut scent, reminds me of the beach!  This hair treatment truely is wonderful and works like it says!
   Coconut oil has been used for hair treatment in coconut producing countries such as India and the Philippines for thousands of years. Studies in India have been done on how effective various oils are on treating damaged hair. The study compared mineral oil, sunflower oil, and coconut oil because these were the three most commonly used oils in hair treatment products used in India. Coconut oil was the only oil found to reduce the protein loss remarkably for both undamaged and damaged hair when used as a pre-wash and post-wash grooming product. Both sunflower and mineral oils do not help at all in reducing the protein loss from hair. 
Tropical Traditions is a great, family-owned business that offers original and great quality products!  This Coconut Oil for Hair Treatment is a natural product that you can't just find in stores. I love how there aren't any harmful chemical ingredients. Overall, it's a great buy. I would def. recommend this for anyone wanting healthier hair!

Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway CLOSED


Closed ~
Congrats to the winner: One Southern Girl

Tropical Traditions was kind enough to send me this wonderful Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for review! I figured the coconut oil could only be used in place of cooking oil--it wasn't until I started reading more about this product until I found out it's multi-functions. The Coconut Oil can also be used as a skin softener and to help reduce the  appearance of scars.  This pure and natural Coconut Oil is picked from the finest coconuts in the rural areas of the Philippines.  Tropical Traditions, a small owned business, then very carefully tests, produces, and packages this Coconut Oil along with many more products they carry. 
I tested the Coconut Oil for cooking tonight.  I used it for frying french fries. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It smelled so clean & fresh, reminding me of the beach & suntan lotion. Mmmm! This was a wonderful replacement to the usual scent of cooking oils! When the fries were finished cooking, I placed them on a paper towel on a glass plate. I instantly noticed that they were NOT greasy unlike every other time I fry food!  Incredible!  The french fries tasted great!  They were very crisp and not a bit "greasy"!  I love this Coconut Oil! I would highly recommend this product over the usual vegetable and cooking oils!  I still can't get over the fabulous scent!
