Drugstore Discovery Of The week

December 5, 2008  5:08 pm

This isn’t so much a discovery as a personal, multi-functional favorite. For all the thick, coarse-haired girls out there looking for an answer to their dry, brittle, frizzy manes, don’t pass up Queen Helene Coco Butter next time you find yourself in the ethnic aisle at Rite Aid. While you usually hear about this thick, skin-saving salve for its ability to moisturize, relieve stretch marks, and reduce the appearance of scars (not to mention its vatlike quantities for a mere $5.49), I’m a big fan for the magic it works on split ends—and its ability to facilitate the languid, bed-head look of popular favor. Buy the creme, not the lotion, which lacks the congealed mayonnaise consistency needed to do the job properly (yes, it might sound gross, but the results are totally worth the unfortunate mental image). Warm a quarter-sized amount between palms and apply from the middle of the hair shaft all the way to the ends, avoiding the roots to prevent too much greasiness. Then scrunch.

1. Oh wow! I’ve had this in my draw for ages, I got it as a present (well in a hamper) and thought this was just some cheap crap but wow! Thanks, I’m going to use it on my hair right now!
