Georgia Toffolo, the former I'm A Celebrity winner, has revealed how a simple kitchen ingredient helped her give up hair extensions for good. The star, known for her fine and damaged hair, now proudly shows off her natural locks, crediting coconut oil as the game changer.
The Struggle with Hair Extensions
For years, Georgia relied on hair extensions to feel confident. She admitted that even on her wedding day, she couldn't go without them. However, after years of peroxide dye jobs, heat styling, and extensions, her real hair was left thin and broken. “I completely destroyed my real hair,” she said. “It was so thin, it was broken. I was solely relying on hair extensions to feel confident.”
The Coconut Oil Revelation
In a recent Instagram video, Georgia shared her secret: VitaCoco Coconut Oil. “This has been such a game changer,” she said, showing both a travel-size pot and a larger one she keeps at home. “Before hair-washing day I lather it on, leaving it overnight. I swear by it. This is what has made my hair grow.”
VitaCoco Coconut Oil is 100% raw, extra virgin, and cold-pressed from organic coconuts. While it's commonly used as a cooking oil, it has a loyal following for hair care. Currently, it is on offer with 25% off at Holland & Barrett, making the 50ml travel size just £2.24 and the 750ml pot £11.47.
Georgia's Full Hair Growth Routine
Georgia took a multi-pronged approach to restore her hair. Here are the steps she followed:
- Removing hair extensions: She worried about long-term damage and took the first step toward healthier hair.
- Reducing heat damage: She invested in a Dyson Airwrap to style hair without causing harm.
- Using the right brush: She never brushes wet hair, preferring the Mason Pearson Boar Bristle Brush (£120).
- Scalp massage: She uses the Champo Shampoo Brush (£16.50) to stimulate growth, often while watching TV or in the shower with a hair mask.
“Scalp massage has been an integral part of my hair growth journey,” she explained. Now, fans are asking if her hair is real, and she proudly confirms it is.
