*HOW TO MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW USING COCONUT OIL*

There are so many oils out there it's impossible to keep up, but many consider coconut oil the HBIC of all oils. Its gained such a glowing reputation because there's not a lot of things coconut oil can't do. It's one of those do-it-all miracle oils that might as well be the beauty world's holy water. Not sure what all the hype is about? Well, coconut oil has the power to burn fat, bless you with healthy, thick hair, fight off bacteria, seamlessly remove makeup, work as a whitening toothpaste, and more. Although we could go on and on about its uses, today we're here to talk about hair, and the many ways coconut oil can help in that category.

How exactly should you be using coconut oil to transform your hair? Celebrity stylist to the stars Cynthia Alvarez along with master stylist and colorist at IGK salon Stephanie Brown share the many ways they put this magic oil to use. Arguably the best thing about coconut oil is its super cheap price tag. So if you don't have a jar, you're going to want to buy 10 after reading this.

Tip #1: Coconut Oil Has the Power to Make Your Hair Grow Longer, Thicker, and Healthier

Let's start this story off right with the answer we've all been waiting for: Does coconut oil make your hair grow? Yes, indeed it does. "Coconut oil will definitely help your hair grow healthier, thicker, and longer," Brown confirms. "The vitamins and fatty acids in coconut oil help nourish your scalp and penetrates the cuticle of the hair. A treatment mask about once every week or two weeks for five to 10 minutes will do the trick" (...keep scrolling for Brown's favorite coconut oil-infused mask). Alvarez agrees, adding that incorporating coconut oil into your routine creates the optimal environment for hair growth. "The vitamins and essential fatty acids also helps to remove sebum build-up from hair follicles, which speeds up growth," she explains.

Tip #2: Lather It All Over Your Hair For a Pre-Poo Shampoo Treatment

It's no secret that harsh ingredients found in many shampoos can strip your hair of its natural, good-for-you oils. "If your hair is feeling a little dry or damaged, coconut oil is a good pre-shampoo treatment to prevent shampoos from stripping all the oils from your hair," Brown suggests. So massage coconut oil into your hair from root-to-tip before you shampoo to prevent this.

Tip #3: Use It Before a Big Dye Job to Prevent Hair Coloring Damage

"I like to tell certain clients to put a little coconut oil in their hair before getting major highlights or going platinum because it helps protect the hair from bleach," Brown says.


Tip #4: Rub It On Your Split Ends For a Quick Fix and Frizz Control

If running to the salon to solve your split end problem is not going to happen any time soon, consider coconut oil your right-hand man for a quick fix. Before we go any further though, sorry, you still have to go to the salon eventually to really get your split ends taken care of—by no means is this a permanent solution. "Coconut oil will help smooth the cuticles on your split ends, so your hair doesn’t looked frayed at the end. It also helps tame frizz due to split ends or humid weather." It actually can control frizz on your whole head, not just on your split ends. "It prevents frizz because it's great for replenishing moisture in your hair," Alvarez adds, so you should use it on the driest parts of your hair.

Tip #5: Apply It on Your Hair As a Leave-In Treatment

"I love using coconut oil as a leave-in treatment in the summer," Brown suggests. "The heat from the sun will open up the cuticle so the oil will penetrate your hair even more. Its ingredients have natural protectants that save your hair from sun damage. Coconut oil also protects the hair from drying out or getting brittle from salt water and chlorine." In other words, you're going to need it this summer, so keep some in your beach bag too!

As you may already know, shea butter is a very rich source of oleic acid, the essential fatty acid responsible for deep moisture and long lasting protection. It is also this oleic acid content that is responsible for the unique thick and buttery texture of shea butter.

Coconut oil is unique in that it contains a high amount of lauric acid, which has strong antimicrobial properties. The blending of these two plant oils creates an interesting and effective botanical oil blend. This combination not only moisturizes and protects the skin, but can be used to ease the symptoms of bacterial, yeast and fungal infections that itch, burn, and create unsightly flaking and peeling. The combination of these two oils also creates a balm with a wonderful smell and texture.
