Mischo Beauty: My "Pre-Poo" Hair Treatment

So I wanted to share with you all one of my "pre-poo" or "pre-shampoo"/hot oil treatments. And I'll admit, it's somewhat of a "hair cocktail" (yes, I made it up!) but it works for me- and of course, I do enjoy experimenting. So basically it's just a mixture of equal parts Desert Essence's Jojoba Oil, Wella's Keratin Oil and Elixir Vital by Kerastase.

I section my hair into small sections, and apply the treatment from roots to ends using the brush pictured above. I then cover my hair with a plastic cap, sit under a hooded hair dryer for about 30 minutes, and then shampoo!

It's very simple to make, and very easy to use- and very necessary during this cold, dry winter season. Simply put- it's a great nourishing treatment for the hair. Any questions? Love your hair.

Mischo Beauty Pick: Desert Essence Organics' Coconut Shampoo & Conditioner

I'm the perfect candidate for Desert Essence Organics' Coconut shampoo and conditioner, which is for dry and damaged hair. My hair falls into the "dry" category- it is and has always been dry, and seems to soak up everything I use to nourish it. Both the shampoo and conditioner are formulated with organic coconut oil (which I've added to my haircare regimen after reading DE's blog!)- and coconut oil is great for the hair because it deeply penetrates the hair shaft!

Well, both passed my tests! The shampoo left my hair soft (my hair is texturized at the moment, but type 4a/4b) and the conditioner detangled my hair, allowing me to easily comb through it and section it for blow-drying. I highly recommend both!
