Pracaxi Oil Blowout Oil Recipe

Directions

• Pour all the oils into the bottle.
• Close and shake thoroughly.
• To use, apply a few drops to hand and spread through the hair with fingers before blowdrying or using a hair straightening brush or one-step hair styler.
• If you’re wearing twists or cornrows under a wig, you can apply a few drops of pracaxi oil to your hair before twisting to lock the moisture in between treatments.

While some people use pracaxi oil as a pre-poo, I believe it works best as part of a treatment left on the hair for a few days at least.

This will ensure you get maximum benefits of the properties this oil enriches the hair with.
