The Benefits of Using Coconut Oil on African American Hair

 

 

I am a die-hard stylist that believes in the benefits that Coconut Oil provides for Black Hair Care.  Check out some of the benefits below.

 

Coconut Oil shields hair protein with the Lauric acid being a major component of the oil which gives its protective qualities.  Lauric acid is a fatty acid that easily binds hair proteins and helps in protecting the roots of the hair strands, and in turn prevents hair breakage.

Coconut Oil also seals in hair moisture and helps to keep hair strong if regularly applied.  Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft where it conditions the hair from within.

Coconut Oil contains antibacterial and anti-fungal agents that give the oil the ability to protect your scalp against dandruff, which can stop the natural growth of hair.

Coconut Oil is a rich source of nutrients like vitamin E, vitamin K and iron. These nutrients are essential for maintaining your hair’s shine and softness. Vitamin E is particularly effective in preventing dandruff, which is a major cause of  hindered hair growth.
