Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is high in healthy saturated fats that reduce inflammation and prevent protein loss, which is one cause for dry and brittle hair. When used correctly, it penetrates deep into the hair shaft to provide moisturizing relief to dry, itchy scalps. Individuals should use coconut oil as a leave-in treatment before washing their hair. It can also be applied to the scalp and left overnight, though individuals should be sure to rinse it out first thing the next morning. Coconut oil can also be massaged into the scalp and throughout the hair to improve the absorption of vitamin and minerals. Individuals can also find countless shampoos and conditioners that contain coconut oil should they wish to, though it's important to look at the ingredients on these to make sure there aren't unneeded ingredients.

Lemon has excellent detoxifying and purifying properties that may be able to promote hair growth. It is also naturally cleansing and clarifying, making it a good product for individuals to clean their hair with. For best results, individuals should apply freshly squeezed lemon juice to their scalp and leave it on for fifteen minutes before rinsing off. Adding lemon essential oil to coconut oil or another carrier oil can also be helpful. They may also leave it on as a hair mask overnight or at least for a few hours before rinsing it out. Treatment with lemon juice should only be done once or twice a week, since it can dry out the hair if used too much without a good conditioner.
