The lauric acid found in coconut oil binds to the protein in hair and scalp and helps protects both the roots and strands of hair from breakage.

Coconut oil is known to mimic sebum due to its medium chain triglycerides or the good fats. This enhances coconut oil’s anti-inflammatory properties. This helps to keep the scalp from drying out and also coats hair roots to protect them from damage.

Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft, protecting it against environmental impurities and excess heat. The natural antioxidants and nutrients (vitamin E, vitamin K, and iron) found in coconut oil boosts hair strength and shine. This makes it a good styling agent.

Massaging your scalp with coconut oil improves the blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles, which helps hair follicles to absorb the valuable nutrients, and helps to nourish and hydrate the strands from within.

OIL PREVENTS DRYNESS OF THE HAIR Hair might seem to be dry and rough when you have not gone for spas for a while, but you can prevent that just by a little effort. Take a bottle of oil and apply it to your hair till the hair seems shiny.
