In order to keep your hair as healthy and strong as possible, you need to take care of it properly. A great all-natural way to keep your hair healthy is to use coconut oil on it on a regular basis. Many people don’t realize how useful coconut oil can be for their hair. The guide that follows provides you with four easy ways coconut oil can be used on your hair that are effective and nourishing.
Use Coconut Oil as a Deep Conditioning Treatment
Coconut oil is packed full of vitamins and minerals that can help to make your hair soft, well-conditioned and even help to treat split ends. Apply it directly to your hair with your hands and then place your hair in a shower cap. Sleep with it on your hair overnight and then wash your hair the same way you normally would in the morning. Your hair will be softer, stronger, and shinier when it dries.
Use Coconut Oil to Treat Lice
Having a lice infestation in your hair can be very uncomfortable. Fortunately, you can apply thick dollops of coconut oil directly to your scalp to get rid of them. This will suffocate the lice and cause them to die. You will then need to get a lice comb to comb the lice and their eggs out of your hair. Once the lice are removed, you can wash the oil out and return to life as usual.
Use Coconut Oil as a Dandruff Treatment
Dandruff is caused by having dry skin on your scalp. Section off your hair and apply it directly to your scalp. Rub the oil into your skin and leave it on for a few hours. You can then wash it out and you should notice that your scalp is soft and supple when you touch it.
Use Coconut Oil as a Natural Hair Detangler
You can buy coconut oil in a liquid state. Add a tablespoon of it to a few cups of water and place the mixture into a spray bottle, shake the bottle and then spray a small amount of the mixture directly onto the hair. Your hair will be easier to comb through and allow your hair to be moisturized at the same time.
Coconut oil is a very inexpensive, healthy treatment to use on your hair. It can leave your hair looking greasy if you don’t wash it out thoroughly though, so take the time to wash your hair well after using a coconut oil treatment.
