5. Moisturize with Coconut Oil
The sun, indoor heating, alcohol-based styling products, straightening treatments, and hormonal changes—all of this sucks out the moisture from your hair. You need to replenish your hair to make a balance and what’s better for that than the all-mighty coconut oil!
Coconut oil is filled with fatty acids that can benefit your hair’s health. According to research, coconut oil has similarities with natural hair proteins and it is able to penetrate the hair shaft (that part of the hair above the scalp) and reduce protein loss.
I found that unrefined coconut oil works wonders as a pre-wash treatment and since you wash your hair thoroughly after it, even people with oily hair can benefit from it without having to face limp hair afterward. You can simply buy a jar of coconut oil and apply it to the midsection and ends of your hair 30-60 minutes before you plan to wash it (make sure you shampoo your hair twice). If you have very dry hair, you can even use it as an overnight treatment.
