Coconut oil for hair treatment

Coconut oil is one of the most effective hair treatments for a wide variety of hair issues. It works very well for repairing damaged hair and what is more it is 100% natural so it's free of parabens, silicons, alcohols, and other chemicals. Coconut oil reduces protein loss in your hair, which increases hair strength.  It also repels water which prevents them from being damaged or even broken. By using coconut oil on a regular basis your hair will become more shiny, and you will have less hair breakage, tangles, and split ends. Depending on the type of hair that you have you should use coconut oil on your hair 1-4 times a month. Due to its anti-fungal properties it can also be used to treat dandruff. 

How to do it:

If your coconut oil is in a solid state, you will need to warm the oil gently to create a liquid. You should apply a generous amount of coconut oil on you dry hair, and massage it into the scalp and ends.  Use more oil where your hair is most damaged (usually on the ends) and less where your hair is healthiest. After 30 minutes wash out the coconut oil from your hair applying a gentle shampoo.
