Coconut oil is known worldwide for its exceptional moisturizing properties. There are many varieties of hair masks and treatments available that contain coconut oil because of its great results. Using coconut oil on hair regularly has been proven to increase shine and softness. Unlike other oils and moisturizers, coconut oil can repair the hair over time by reversing protein loss and moisturizing it thoroughly, making it stronger and healthier. Coconut oil is also great for dry skin and dry scalps, too, meaning you can save space, time, and money by using this one simple product for all of these issues. You won’t need much either, as a little goes a long way. Simply warm up a chunk of coconut oil in your hands until it melts and carefully brush it through your hair with your fingers. Repeat this step until all of your hair is thoroughly covered. The treatment can be left in or you can rinse it off with cold to warm water after it has been on your hair for several hours. Try and avoid hot water when rinsing as this can do more damage. Coconut oil is available in most health food stores and supermarkets so it should be easy to try some out. It is also commonly used in cooking so it may be found in the grocery section. Make sure that you pick up the cold-pressed kind for the best results.
