Coconut Oil For Curly Hair
Coconut Oil
What is Coconut Oil?
Coconut Oil is one of the most popular oils in health & beauty. Known widely for it's many health benefits, this "Tropical Topical" oil is taken internally for health benefits and as a topical treatment to nourish skin & hair. Added to hair care routines and products, Coconut Oil boasts a list of benefits a mile long!
The environmental impact of Coconut Oil is very low. Growing coconuts doesn't require pesticides or herbicides, and coconuts are harvested by hand, which make them very eco-friendly and highly sustaibnable. Coconuts harvested for Coconut Oil used in commercial products are grown in the island countries of Fiji and Samoa, but are also grown in many coastal and tropical areas like the Philippine Islands, India, Thailand and Indonesia.
Coconut Oil is beneficial for curly hair as it is mostly made up of a Lauric Acid, which is a medium-chain fatty acid. This type of fatty acid, gives a long, straight structure, which is more easily absorbed deep into the hair shaft rather than just coating the strands.
Coconut Oil can be used in curly hair for an array different reasons.
Here are a few:
