Coconite Cassia Bars

• 2 oz unrefined cocoa butter; hydrating and high in vitamin E with emollient (smoothing) properties.
• 2 oz extra virgin olive oil; penetrates the strands increasing strength and elasticity.
• 1 oz pure cocoa powder; antioxidants protect against free radicals.
• 2 tbs cassia obovata (sometimes called neutral henna); conditions scalp and thickens the strands.

While this recipe is great I would change a few things.
1. I wouldn't use cocoa butter, due to it being a sealant. It doesn't (or atleast there is not evidence of it doing so) absorb into the hair. When doing a deep treatment you want the treatment to go "deep", so you want to only use ingredients that will be absorbed into the hair. I would switch it with coconut oil, avocado butter or even just freeze it with some coconut water and pop them out of the freezer when ready to use.

2. I would add my beloved amla powder, wheat germ and some fenugreek to the mix. These are a personal preference and each of these ingredients combat certain hair issues I deal with. 

I plan to try this soon and will check back in when I do! If you try it let me know!
