Coconut oil is an excellent hair moisturizer that adds shine to our hair making hair soft and silky. Even though it is beneficial but I still don’t like to put oil during day time. Putting oil in hair and going for lectures, I can’t even imagine. But keeping hair healthy is also important, so I add this oil to hair at night, asks my mom, dad or my brother to massage it for 10 minutes and then I go to sleep. Massages not only keeps mind relaxed but also helps to get good sleep. So the next day I wash my hair using a good shampoo. Avoid adding oil every night, just use it the day before you are going to wash your hair.

Just as described above massage oil for 5 minutes and leave it overnight. In the morning with a good dandruff controller shampoo rinse your hair. This will make hair clean and clear the dandruff permanently.

Coconut oil help to make hair fibres strong and nourished. Using this oil thrice a week can prevent split ends in hair. As you all know the split ends can be either cut off or prevented, so why not to prevent splitting of hair.
