This morning, I was getting ready for the departmental Christmas picture, and I panicked. I have GF shampoo and conditioner, but nothing else in the way of hair products, and my hair had some serious frizz to it. Just as I was about to give in and use something from the Old Days, I spotted the jar of coconut oil on the corner of my dresser. I don't remember where it was, but I do recall reading that coconut oil is good for your hair.
I was nervous about trying it. My hair is pretty thin, and it generally doesn't do well when I add oil of any sort, but desperate measures and all. So, I used just the tiniest little bit and worked it into my hair, which now smells amazing. So far, it looks good. Good stuff, no?
As promised earlier, in a comment, I am working on a list of hair care products that are GF. However, I'm having a few issues with companies whose websites lie to the public, or who don't answer customer emails, etc. In the meantime, here's one company to tide you over.
I've mentioned ShiKai before--I have their Color Reflect shampoo and Mist & Go conditioner. Both are great products. The customer service rep who answered my email was very helpful, and sent me a list of what is and isn't GF. I've posted them below. Happy styling!
