Coconut oil<\/a> has grown in popularity due to the inherent health properties and versatility. Some people have started oil pulling with coconut oil to naturally get rid of plaque<\/a>, while others solely use it for culinary purposes. Because coconut oil has natural moisturizing properties, it is ideal to apply it to your hair to help naturally detangle, fight against dandruff, and accelerate the hair growth process<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wondering how coconut oil is good for your hair and scalp<\/a>, let us give you a little insight. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, medium-chain fatty acids, and antimicrobial properties, all of which work to condition the scalp and strengthen hair. Do yourself a favor and use coconut oil on your hair; you\u2019ll thank us later. We\u2019ve detailed how it helps your hair below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faster Hair Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because of the vitamins and essential fatty acids that naturally exist in coconut oil, using it as a daily treatment can help to nourish the scalp and remove sebum build-up from hair follicles. About an hour or two before bed, wash your hair with all natural shampoo and conditioner. Massage melted coconut oil into your scalp and then wrap your head with a towel to leave the coconut oil on overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gets Rid Of Dandruff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bacteria on the scalp, yeast infections, or the excessive use of chemical-rich hair products<\/a> can cause dandruff. The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, which work to get rid of bacteria or viruses on the scalp. Coconut oil moisturizes the hair shaft and scalp to keep your scalp dandruff free<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps Detangle Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have curly hair or regularly deal with tangles or knots, coconut oil is going to become your best friend. It is good to brush your hair with organic, virgin coconut oil on the daily because it doesn\u2019t leave any residue or long-term damage to your tresses. Using melted coconut oil, massage a little into the ends of your hair, slowly working your way towards the roots. Use a comb to help detangle your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repairs Split Ends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Split ends can be caused by the excessive use of hair straighteners, styling products, curlers, blow dryers, and more. To help repair split ends<\/a>, you\u2019ll need several ingredients that strengthen hair follicles and moisturize the scalp. You\u2019ll need two tablespoons of organic virgin coconut oil, one tablespoon of raw honey, and five tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Mix the ingredients and apply it to your scalp and hair. Leave this on for about 30 minutes and then rinse with an all natural shampoo. Do this once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneficial For Dry Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your hair can actually absorb coconut oil more efficiently than any other oil. It also contains vitamin E, which works to moisturize hair. Because it doesn\u2019t evaporate easily, coconut oil doesn\u2019t let moisture escape, meaning that it can keep your hair healthy and hydrated all day!<\/p>\n
