I learned to use coconut oil from of a person who is dear to me.

Coconut oil is one of the best hair oils because it is rich in saturated fatty acids, which have the ability to spread and penetrate the hair better than unsaturated fatty acids.

Compared to other types of hair oils, coconut oil mainly contains auric acid, which is beneficial for maintaining healthy hair. This oil is light, which facilitates its absorption into the hair shaft.

Also, applying coconut oil to the hair can help close the gaps between hair cuticle cells and prevent chemicals in hair care products from entering the follicle.

Potential benefits of coconut oil for hair:

· Hydrates and soothes the scalp;

·        Reduces the appearance of dandruff;        

Prevents hair protein loss;

·        Strengthens hair and reduces breakage and brittleness;

·        This oil increases hair moisture, making it a good option for dry hair;

·        Increases hair shine;

·        It reduces hair damage caused by the use of hair dyes and other chemicals applied to the hair;

·       Protects hair from lice infestation…

How to use coconut oil for hair:

The best way to use coconut oil on hair is to use it as a hair mask, following these steps:

·        Put two tablespoons of melted coconut oil in a bowl and warm it slightly in a bain-marie. It is recommended to use organic unrefined coconut oil for hair for best results;

·        Moisturize the hair using a spray bottle;

·        Distribute warm coconut oil evenly over wet hair, taking care to increase the amount of coconut oil on the driest parts of the hair, especially the ends, and to leave it out. too much on the parts of the hair close to the scalp;

·        Cover the hair with a shower cap;

·        Leave the coconut oil mask on the hair for one to two hours, and it can also be left on the hair overnight for deeper hydration (especially for those with very dry hair);

·        Rinse the hair with lukewarm water then wash it  - with shampoo - as usual.

A number of other hair-beneficial ingredients can also be added to the coconut oil mask, including:

Honey, egg yolk, a banana, Aloe Vera...

You just have to persevere to achieve good results, and above all take care of yourself… Thank you.
