Pili pulp oil: My Little Secret

Pili pulp oil with the upgraded label from Bulusan

The pili pulp is a by- product of the Pili. Its main product is the kernel  (pili nut) for confectionery uses.

My hair after a year of regular Pili pulp oil use, twice weekly.

I always regard my hair as my crowning glory. So when I hit the 50 mark and my youthful tresses started to show signs of the dreaded sign of age. I began searching for some remedies to slow down the process. I tried coconut oil and its great but the thing is, the stuff is not always ready (the freshly squeezed milk from the grated coconut) whenever it is time for my hair wash and bath. To make things easier, I experimented with the Pili pulp oil after reading an article about the olive oil as hair tonic. As a substitute for olive oil, I picked the locally produced Pili pulp oil which is always readily available at our neighbor's store. My choice turned out to be the perfect oil for my aging hair. The thick and richly nutritive oil seems to cling to every millimeter of my hair from tip to roots  making it bounce and shine after every regular shampoo. After using it (myself as the guinea pig) for a year, I am totally convinced of  its efficacy when the hair salon assistant quipped, "ang kapal at ang haba ng buhok mo" (your hair is so thick and long") as he gently shampooed  my hair during my recent hair cut visit.

Thanks to this Pili pulp oil - my hair will have its second wind hopefully stretching the youthful season of my crowning glory :)

Note: My back view 'selfie' photo with my hair that seems to be in an extended season of youthful glory was only taken a month ago (July, 2013).
