Organic Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is extracted by pressing fresh or dried coconut flesh or copra. It contains fatty acids and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to hair health. Numerous hair care products include coconut oil as their active ingredient. It helps with itchy scalp, especially dandruff and dry scalp. Moreover, coconut oil helps good bacteria flourish and cut down on the flaky scalp. The antibacterial and anti-fungal effects of coconut oil are also well-known for their benefits in treating fungal infection in the scalp.
Coconut oil may be used as a pre-wash or conditioning mask and on hair oiling. It is an excellent alternative to store-bought conditioners. Alternatively, add a few drops of the oil to the regular conditioner to increase its soothing effect. You may also use it after shampooing. Apply a coconut oil mask consisting of 1 tablespoon of pure coconut oil. This should be done only twice a week, letting the oil on for a few hours before rinsing it off. No recorded adverse effects are found in using coconut oil for the scalp. However, others have problems with having blocked pores when using coconut oil, so it is best to apply a moderate amount when trying for the first time.
