Each night before going to bed, follow these steps:

• Part hair one section at a time and rub coconut oil into your scalp. A light application is all you need.
• Repeat process for entire head then massage for a few minutes to really work it in. Run a wide tooth comb through your hair to comb out any tangles then put on a shower cap.
• Keep the treatment on overnight, cover your pillow with a towel just in case the cap shifts in the middle of the night.
• Wash your hair as usual in the morning.
• Repeat daily until you are satisfied with the results (may take up to 5 weeks before the dryness is gone).

• Rub a bit into affected area and allow the skin to absorb the nutrients. Treat skin daily for as long as needed.

Acne Treatment:

• Clean face as you normally would, pat dry then apply a light coating on your skin. Leave on overnight (allow skin at least 15 minutes to absorb the oil before going to bed). Repeat each night until desired results are achieved (may take some time depending on how severe the acne is).
• If you have back acne, wash and dry skin before applying the oil. Apply to skin at least 15 minutes before laying down or going to bed.

Note: Some may experience an increase in oily skin and breakouts, this can be the case for several days (even a week or two) until the skin is detoxified.
