Benefits of coconut oil for maintaining healthy hair.
Pure coconut oil comes from coconut seeds and is a medium chain fatty acid consisting of lauric acid, capric acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. Several studies have revealed that the lauric acid in coconut oil can work as a hair moisturizer and make it feel softer.
The lauric acid in it has also been proven to be more effective in preventing hair from losing protein. This lauric acid also makes coconut oil easily absorbed into the hair shaft, so it can overcome damage caused by chemicals from hair dye.
Using conditioner can keep hair soft and prevent it from damage.
Conditioners generally contain cationic surfactants which can protect the outer layer of hair, namely the hair cuticle. This cuticle plays a role in controlling the water content of the hair fiber and protecting the deepest layer to provide strength and texture to the hair. Conditioner will also smooth the cuticles, so your hair looks smooth, shiny and healthy.
