The Wonder Ingredient That Will Improve Your Hair Instantly By David McKenna
Got tired, lifeless, dull hair that seems to be thinning? If so, you need to sit up and take action. Continue doing what you are doing and the situation is only going to get worse.
Hair loss has many different causes including genetics, environmental damage, as well as the day to day usage that you are inflicting on your hair.
If you want to improve your hair quality, it’s time to make a few changes on what you can control. This means how you are treating it.
There is one ingredient in particular that tends to really boost your hair health that should be making it’s way into your pantry.
Yes, that’s right – pantry.
It’s not a special hair care product that you’ll pay good money for at a salon but rather something that you can pick up at your everyday grocery store.
What is this product's peak of:
Coconut oil.
Coconut oil is well known for it’s many health boosting effects, but did you know that you can use it on your hair as well? A coconut hair mask is an excellent way to improve the condition of your hair and nourish your scalp as well, which may then help to prevent future hair loss down the road.
Coconut oil contains a wide array of antioxidants, which can stimulate hair follicles and promote growth while also helping to protect against dryness as well as dandruff.
On top of this, coconut oil is also a great way to add shine to your hair, so if you simply want to improve the hair you’ve already got, this can really help out as well.
How do you use coconut oil?
While eating it will provide the benefits you are looking for with your body, you want to use it topically to improve the health of your hair.
To prepare your very own coconut oil hair mask, the process is relatively simple.
You’ll want to mix together about 2-4 tablespoons of coconut oil, heating it before you do. You don’t want it to be very hot (as this can lead to more dryness), but warm oil will penetrate the hair shaft and scalp better, so is more desirable.
To this oil, add 5-10 drops of essential oils to provide additional hair benefits. Some of the best essential oils to consider incorporating into your mask include lavender, cedarwood, sage, basil, lemon, rosewood, as well as Melrose.
Each of these will help to further nourish the hair as well as add a pleasant scent to the mixture as well.
Stir these two together and then massage into the hair. Really put extra focus towards the ends or any areas of the hair that are especially dry.
Leave this one for 30-60 minutes and then wash out by rinsing with cool water. You want to avoid hot water here as this will again lead to more dryness and the cool water instead will close the hair cuticle, helping ensure that your hair is shiny and healthy as a result of it.
Note that if you have very long hair, you’ll want to use even more coconut oil throughout this process.
So next time you are suffering from hair that needs a little boost, try coconut oil. It’s a cheap and very effective way to revive your strands.
