Meanwhile, coconut oil, which has a pleasant aroma, is an absolutely safe natural material for hair. Not only to treat dandruff thoroughly, but coconut oil also works to recover damaged hair. If you want to experience this use of coconut oil, you can easily follow these steps:

• Rinse out the dirt from the hair, wipe hair until it is slightly damp.
• Apply coconut oil on the scalp and massage gently with your fingers, or you can use cotton pads, cotton swabs to rub coconut oil evenly.
• Allow about 30 minutes to 2 hours for coconut oil to penetrate deeply into the scalp.
• Rinse with your shampoo 1-2 times until the hair is completely clean of greasy.

Just do it 1 – 3 times a week, you will have shiny, beautiful hair that doesn’t have the appearance of dandruff.

Damaged hair is significantly improved after using coconut oil.

The habit of using chemicals to beautify the hair and the effects of the polluted environment makes many people suffer from damaged hair condition. While the cost of steaming hair at Spa or Hair Salon is too expensive. However, you can use coconut oil as a way to regain smooth beauty for your hair without spending a high cost. This measure should be done through the following steps:

• Wrap your hair and incubate it for about 1 or 2 hours.
• Rinse with shampoo 1-2 times until the hair is no longer greasy, making sure there is no excess coconut oil left in the hairline.

Small tip: To align the amount of coconut oil so that it’s just enough, you can take advantage of the old bottle of water with the squeeze tube or the old eye drop bottle to drip every drop of oil onto the scalp and comb, avoiding taking too much oil that may lead to greasy hair. While washing your hair after rubbing coconut oil, you should also scrub the shampoo with water before cleaning it, which will effectively remove the lubricant, so that you don’t need to wash your hair repeatedly.

You should persistently apply care with coconut oil as above 2-3 times/week. Dry hair will improve after 2 to 3 months of regular use of coconut oil.
