Coconut oil has numerous benefits for both
hair and skin. It is nutritious for all hair types, helping hair to
shine, softening hair, remedying damaged hair by helping to preserve the
hair's natural proteins[1] and can even provide relief from dandruff.[2]
For the skin, coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer for all skin
types, and especially for dry and older skin. Coconut oil is so good at
smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles and helping with skin
conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis that it's often added to
commercial skin care products.[3] And there's more––the lauric acid in coconut oil has both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.[4]
If you're not already using coconut oil in your beauty routine, it's
worth trying it––it's inexpensive and you'll most likely love the
results.Steps:
1: Apply the coconut oil directly onto your scalp. If you live in an arid climate, consider lightly misting your hair with water first.
2: Massage hair from hair roots to ends.
3 : Leave on for at least 30 minutes before washing. For best results, leave on for as long as you can and apply at least three times a week.
4 : For deeper penetration, apply directly onto your scalp, massaging from roots to ends before bedtime. Then leave on overnight (cover your head with a cap or towel, or lay a towel across your pillow). Shampoo and rinse well in the morning.
