In this article we will be looking at the reasons you may want to coconut oil your hair to improve look and feel. Coconut seems to have taken a bit of a front seat in beauty over the last two decades and people are rapidly finding new and effective uses for it.
It seems to have made a sneaky transition out of people's meal plates onto the skin and hair of many a young ( and old! ) lady. I first came across the the idea to coconut oil your hair through a friend of mine who opened up her own beauty salon about five years back. She claimed the coconut oil held very powerful repair properties for your mane!
So I looked into the methods to coconut oil your hair and gather up some research for this article here. I was pretty surprised with my findings particularly when I found out this oil can be used to combat hair loss.
Apparently it's all down to its vitamin E and lauric acid components that penetrate deep into the hair shaft. A lot have users claim that the shine they get from using coconut oil is better than any of the high priced . on-the-shelf beauty products
A lot of these beauty products will cost you in excess of $10 and will not really last that long. If you choose to coconut oil your hair you will be paying about a quarter of that price! Just visit any food store and look in the cookery section for some true/natural coconut oil - it costs next to nothing!
So without further ado let's get into the methods to coconut oil your hair........

Deep Conditioning You can choose to coconut oil your hair simply for a monthly deep conditioning regime. By doing this you are replacing the lost and damaged nutrients that various styling techniques cause. If you think about the blow drying, the washing and the products you use on your hair you will realize what we take out of it on a monthly basis. Coconut oil is great at replacing these lost nutrients and your hair will really thank you for it! | |
To coconut oil your hair as a deep conditioner you must first heat the coconut oil up a little bit. Now a lot of people choose to do this by using a microwave but I don't really trust this method! I feel that microwaves take a lot of the good stuff out of things when they heat them up - they sort of nuke foodstuffs! A better way to heat up your coconut oil is to put the jar in a bowl of warm water for about five minutes - much more natural.
You then need to coconut oil your hair and massage it into your scalp gently. Once it is spread evenly across your head you can then place a hair cap over the mixture on your head and leave it on for about 45 minutes or so.
When it comes to washing your hair you may have to do it more than once to get the oil out properly - it can become a little sticky! Once you feel enough of the oil is out rinse quickly with cool water to stop the hair from frizzing up.
Battle The Frizz!
You may make the choice to coconut oil your hair to improve the 'frizz factor' of your look. If your hair becomes to frizzy then it usually means that your hair has got much to dry at some point.
On the days when the frizz rears it's ugly head and you are due at a works meeting why don't you coconut oil your hair to get things in order? It's actually a pretty simple method - simply spread some coconut oil across two hands and run it through your hair to beat down the frizz factor.
Now don't go to town when you coconut oil your hair to remove frizz. You want to use enough to get the job done but you do not want to use enough to make you look like a greasy girl! If you do take up this method then remember to wash your hair regularly to avoid smelling of rotten coconuts!
Who's Got Split Ends?
You cannot really coconut oil your hair to repair split ends but you can use it to prevent them from happening. If you want to actually repair the split ends then I'm afraid a trip and a trim at the hairdressers is the only way!
If you use coconut oil on wet hair it is great at stopping the hair from tangling up and breaking off. You may also want to try touching up the dry ends of your hair with coconut oil to create a protective shield against split ends.
The Rest is up to You!
So there we have it! If you choose to coconut oil your hair then try out these three awesome methods above. You will be so surprised in the difference to the feel and the condition of your hair - spread the word to all your friends!
