This Easy Peasy Hair Hack Is The Secret To Eva Mendes’ Glossy Locks

Trine Jensen-Burke

Some people just have it all, don’t they?

Take gorgeous actress Eva Mendes, for instance. Not only has she managed to bag the dreamboat that is Ryan Gosling and produce two baby girls with him, she is also totally stunning and has hair to die for.

The thing is, there is shag all we can do about getting our hands on Ryan (unless you really want to go down the route of stealing someone’s live-in baby-daddy, that is), but at least now Mendes has revealed how we can all get her lovely, glossy hair.

In a recent interview with Byrdie, the 42-year-old actress spilled all of her beauty secrets, from her genius makeup applying tricks (like never skipping blush on the nose) to her secret behind that shiny, bouncy hair (seriously, have you seen that volume?).

The great news is that getting hair like Eva needn’t break the bank. Are you ready for her easy peasy, all-natural hair hack?

Overnight coconut oil.

“I’m a big fan of coconut oil and using it as a treatment,” Mendes explains. “I’ll just leave it in my hair and put a shower cap on it and sleep with it overnight. I go after that beachy look, but obviously, that can leave your hair feeling unhealthy, so I really like this coconut oil trick.”

For first-timers, she suggests trying it on your ends first to see the benefits and then go from there.

Well, guess who who is rooting out the shower cap tonight?!
