.........o.k. well not really a warning, but it is kind of a known fact. It's just too funny though.
I have used Dabur Vatika Oil for about a year now and have recently (last month or so) started faithfully doing my nightly scalp massages with it. I am coming up on week 2 of a rollerset where I flat ironed my roots and have probably only worn my hair out b/c the roots tried to puff back up. (month 10 of transition). To combat that, I will just tie my hair down with a scarf if I want to wear it out the next day and it's pretty straight.
Last night after I moisturized my hair, I was doing my scalp massage and then I sealed my hair and put 2 flexirods in it. Hadn't worn it out for the past 3 days so wanted to get a little hang time today. Fast forward to this morning. I get up, take the flexirods out and finger comb my hair. Yeah, I knew I was a little heavy handed with the coconut oil and it was ultra shiny and glossy, but I was probably going to pin it up later on during the day anyway.
I go outside to leave for work. Once I get in the car and look in my mirror, I put my hand in my head and some of my hair strands are stiff and hard as a brick!!!!. At first I was like "what the?????", then I burst out to laughing out loud (yes to myself in the car BY MYSELF) because I realized that the coconut oil had hardened on my hair when I walked outside in the cold. This is no big revelation b/c I know that cold temperature solidies coconut oil, but it was just so funny to see my hair and my curls instantly hardened.
It was fine in the next 10 minutes as I started on my drive to work b/c I had the heater on in the car.
So just a friendly warning to all you heavy handed ladies with the coconut oil
