Coconut oil is beneficial for the whole body. Along with coconut oil body massage, coconut oil is also used for oil pulling to detoxify the body. Massaging the scalp with coconut oil is one of the oldest natural methods. My mom still recommends shampooing with regular coconut oil for scalp and hair.
Also in Ayurveda, champing is done with coconut oil, which provides complete nutrition to the scalp and hair. Mom also recommends applying a DIY coconut oil hair mask along with a coconut oil shampoo. So, how to prepare coconut oil hair mask and how it benefits your hair, let us know.
Know the nutrients present in coconut oil
In fact, coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties. The present lauric acid softens the hair and prevents it from falling out. In addition, it contains vitamins and fatty acids, which rid the scalp of sebum build-up. If you regularly massage your hair with coconut oil, the saturated fats present in it can never damage your hair.
A coconut oil hair mask provides dual benefits to the hair
Coconut oil hydrates and nourishes the hair. Prevents protein loss. If your hair is prone to dryness and breakage, then the nutrients present in coconut oil can provide relief from all these problems. This makes your hair shiny. Coconut oil in combination with the other components of the hair mask becomes a double benefit for your hair.
To give your hair double the benefits, try this coconut oil hair mask that my mother told me.
