Coconut oil is one of the
few oils that can actually penetrate hair and provide great deep conditioning. While most conditioning oils (like silicones and mineral
oil) just sit on top of hair, coconut oil is literally able to work
from the inside. In result you will experience less breakage and softer
stronger hair.
How do you apply coconut
oil to hair?
First you have to make sure
you have the right type of oil. When buying coconut oil to hair and skin it
must be organic, pure and unrefined.
Research has shown that
coconut oil is best used as a pre-shampoo treatment. After shampooing, coat
your hair in coconut oil and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing
and washing. Apply a small amount to hair after the wash to seal in moisture
and prevent frizz. Coconut oil is also great for detangling hair as well. But
remember when applying to dry hair that a small amount goes a long way!
For a weekly hot oil
treatment, heat jar of coconut oil and massage into clean wet hair. Then cover
your hair with a shower cap warm towel, heat cap, or something that will allow
hair to marinate in the heat and absorb the oil. After an hour rinse oil (wash
if hair is too oily for your liking) and enjoy your incredibly soft head of
hair!
