Ladies, never underestimate the power of virgin coconut oil. This natural elixir nourishes the hair shaft to create a vibrant sheen. It also conditions the hair to restore moisture and repair damage.

Our friend and fellow beauty pro Wendy Rose Gould is all about boosting beauty benefits. "When applied at the scalp, coconut oil can help reduce buildup and soothe sensitive or itchy skin," Gould added. And just how do you boost the benefits of coconut oil? You add lavender!

You have to try this simple DIY hair treatment. "It's no secret that lavender smells amazing, but topically, it acts as an antibacterial and therefore helps with dandruff. It also helps to soften hair," Gould shared.

All you'll need is a small bowl, virgin coconut oil, fresh or dried lavender springs and measuring spoons.

- Measure out 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add it to your bowl. Depending on the length of your hair, you may want to add more or less oil.

Then shampoo and style as normal. You're all done!
