How to Use Coconut Oil In Hair

It's been a go-to staple for many in recent years. Coconut oil has many uses, including culinary uses, skincare and so much more. But did you know that coconut oil is also a natural remedy for hair care and can be used in several ways to promote healthy hair growth and reduce frizziness? Here are some of our favourite ways to use coconut oil in our hair...

1. As a pre-shampoo treatment: Before washing your hair, apply coconut oil to your scalp and hair and massage it in. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing your hair as normal.
2. Leave-in conditioner: After washing your hair, apply a small amount of coconut oil to the ends of your hair as a leave-in conditioner. This will help to hydrate and moisturize your hair, reducing frizz and flyaways.
3. Hair mask: Mix coconut oil with an egg yolk and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes and then wash it off. This will help to strengthen and nourish your hair.
4. Hot oil treatment: Heat coconut oil in a microwave-safe container and apply it to your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap and leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse it off and shampoo your hair as usual.
5. Styling aid: Apply a small amount of coconut oil to your hair before styling it to help reduce frizz and add shine.
6. Scalp treatment: Massage coconut oil into your scalp to help remove dandruff and promote healthy hair growth.

Note: If you have oily hair, we recommend adding coconut oil to the ends of your hair only, avoiding the scalp area.
