I’m sure you have heard that coconut oil is very beneficial and does amazing things to your hair, but have you ever wondered how or why?
Coconut oil is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals which are good for the human body. The components in the oil keep your hair strong, nourished and protected from the effects of premature aging, like baldness and excessive hair loss.
Some of the main benefits of coconut oil are:
1) It stimulates hair growth by getting deep into the hair follicles.
2) It promotes the scalp health by fighting against problems like insect bites, lice and dandruff
3) It helps moisturize dry hair
4) It adds luster, shine, and softness to the hair
5) It helps prevent hair breakage and split end
6) It helps slow down hair loss
Coconut oil is also very easy to use in the hair. You start by melting the oil in your hands until it becomes a liquid. Massage oil into your scalp, and down the hair until it is fully saturated. Leave in for as long as you desire. Leaving it in for 20 minutes is enough for a healthy and shiny look and feel. However, some people prefer to leave it in overnight with a hair cap for a intense deep treatment.
