Brilio.net - Owners of long hair will experience problems with their hair more often than those with short hair. Some problems that are often experienced are dry hair that breaks easily and falls out. Long, dry hair is also difficult to manage, so it sometimes looks tangled and frizzy.
The problem of dry, tangled and even falling hair in those with long hair is not without reason. This problem arises because long hair strands are farther from the follicles than short hair. This condition causes the nutrition distributed to the hair shaft to be less than optimal.
Another factor that causes long hair to be prone to dryness and frizz is the habit of doing styling which, without realizing it, actually makes the hair unhealthy, broken and split ends. So, to avoid and overcome this problem, you can carry out treatment at home using natural ingredients .

Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids consisting of lauric acid, capric acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. The lauric acid in coconut oil has been proven to be more effective in preventing hair from losing protein.
Lauric acid also makes coconut oil easily absorbed into the hair shaft, thereby preventing hair damage. What's more, this fat also has the potential to maintain hair moisture so that it doesn't look dry and dull.
Benefits of conditioner to soften hair
Conditioner is a hair care that works to protect the outer layer of hair, namely the hair cuticle. The cuticle will control the water content of the hair fiber and protect the deepest layers to provide strength and texture to the hair. This conditioner will smooth the cuticles, so that the hair becomes soft, looks smooth, shiny and healthy.
