And when we are talking about skin how can we forget about our hair which is heart of every women. Everywhere you turn there are images of women with luscious hair cascading down their back or drawn up into a fashionable braid or ponytail. Then you look in the mirror and see drab, your lifeless hair that seems unable to grow a half-inch despite the laundry list of hair products you have tried. Consider taking a natural approach by introducing essential oils, protein and nutrient rich products to your hair care routine.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is an essential oil that promotes healthy hair by adding thickness and length while working to repair the presence of damage at the same time. This oil is excellent for the treatment of dry or oily scalp conditions. When your scalp lacks proteins and nutrients, it become dry. Same way, when your body produces excessive amounts of sebum, an oily scalp develops.
Coconut oil alleviates these issues by repairing the damage and restoring a more natural balance to your shiny hair. You can do a hot oil treatment which you should do at least once a week. Gently massage it into your scalp, let it sit for approximately 10 minutes and then rinse it out with normal water.
