From cooking meals in the kitchen to moisturizing your skin in the bathroom, coconut oil is everywhere these days, so it should come as no surprise that this “miracle oil” makes a pretty fantastic (and chemical free) hair mask.
With harsh chemicals, extreme weather conditions and daily wear and tear of styling, hair takes quite the beating and can often be left looking dry, frizzy, broken and dull. Not to worry! Incorporating a coconut oil mask in your weekly routine is sure to help calm that frizz and bring out the shine!
So what makes coconut oil so great for moisturizing hair? Lauric acid, a main component in coconut oil, is a fatty acid that binds to hair proteins, helping to protect hair strands and prevent breakage. Coconut oil also has the ability to penetrate each strand and condition it from within, helping to protect hair against environmental toxins and heat.
