The Magic Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is seen the most effective hair treatment. It is 100% natural, and it's free of silicones, alcohols, and other chemicals that can aggravate sensitive skin and hair. It works incredibly well for damaged hair regardless of what damage. Coconut oil is also anti-fungal in nature, making it a perfect natural anti-dandruff treatment, or as a preventative treatment for dandruff. 

Coconut oil can be found easily at drug stores, grocery stores, organic food stores, or health stores. Coconut oil works well for reconditioning dry hair because the molecular structure of coconut oil, unlike other oils or moisturizers that just sit on the hair, is ideal for penetrating the hair shaft, getting past the cuticle, repairing and preventing damage from the inside out. Lauric acid, capric acid, and vitamin E (all present in coconut oil) help restructure hair, increase hair's strength by preventing protein loss, and vastly improve shine. People that regularly use a coconut oil treatment report increased body, shine, and manageability with less breakage, static, tangles, and split ends. 

For a deep conditioning treatment, massage a couple of tablespoons of the coconut oil into your clean, damp hair and scalp. You may need more for long hair. Use more oil where your hair is the driest and most damaged and less where your hair is healthiest. I find that it's best to section your hair off and apply the coconut oil in sections to be sure that every hair is coated properly. If your coconut oil is in a solid state, you will need to warm the oil gently to create a liquid. Allow the oil to sit on your hair for 20-30 minutes after application. To increase the effectiveness of the treatment, cover with a shower cap and wrap your hair in a hot towel or apply heat with a hair dryer for a few minutes. Because the oil is very heavy, you will need to shampoo the oil out of your hair after the treatment. 

Coconut oil can be a god-send to those with severely damaged, over processed, and heat styled hair. It will be important to experiment with the amount of coconut oil to use, and how long to allow the oil to penetrate your hair in a way that will work for your specific hair type. If the coconut oil leaves your hair feeling weighed down or greasy, try using less or shampooing more effectively post treatment.
