Product Information

Using a leave-in conditioner as opposed to a ‘rinse-out’ conditioner can provide many benefits for your hair, especially if you have dry, damaged, or frizzy hair. Here are some reasons why you should consider incorporating a leave-in conditioner into your hair care routine: Provides Ongoing Hydration: The problem is that shampooing removes it. And not shampooing can leave your hair looking and feeling greasy. According to Celeste Arnold, senior stylist and owner of Celeste Arnold Hair and Makeup, “Nearly every hair type can benefit from the use of leave-in conditioners, but you may find them particularly useful if you have dry, damaged, or frizzy hair.”

Scientifically speaking, dry and damaged hair has a negative charge, while conditioning ingredients have a positive charge. By clinging to the hair, the conditioner makes hair less static.Even if breakage does not occur, coconut oil applied too liberally or sans strategy can result in hair that looks greasy and grimy rather than well-tended. What kind of coconut oil to use Now that you understand that you should be incorporating a leave in conditioner into your hair care routine, let’s look at how you can add coconut oil to the mix. Benefits Of Coconut Oil As A Leave In Conditioner There is some evidence to suggest that coconut oil may help to prevent dandruff. Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, which have antimicrobial properties. Dandruff is the result of overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia on the scalp, and the antimicrobial properties of coconut oil may help to combat this. How to Use Coconut Oil As A Leave In Conditioner Coconut oil works great to pacify the frizzy hair. Frizzy hair is the result of uneven absorption of water in the hair’s outer layer. Coconut oil creates humidity and moisture barrier and protects the hair fibers from uneven swelling. This helps to keep the frizz away and leaves your hair feeling smooth and manageable. Coconut oil moisturises and adds shine Coconut oil is an excellent moisturiser for weak and damaged hair. Due to its small molecular size, coconut oil can penetrate into the hair fiber, brings out deep conditioning of hair from inside out. When applied after shampooing, it enhances shine and increases the hair fiber’s pliability. Also, there will be less friction between the hair fibers when combing and styling. Coconut oil prevents protein loss

As the hair grows long, it gets farther from the scalp’s natural moisturising oils, and the sebum may not reach the hair fibers. This makes the hair dry and prone to damage. When applied to your hair, coconut oil moisturises and restores the natural oil balance of the hair fiber. Coconut oil keeps frizz away Don’t clog your scalp: Some people find that applying coconut oil directly to the scalp can alleviate dryness. On the other hand, others struggle with issues like irritation and clogged pores. If you’ve never used coconut oil on your scalp, start with a minimal amount until you know how your skin reacts.Think of coconut oil as you would green juice: a cold-pressed option will be much closer to the source (and its benefits) than one made from dried, chemically-treated ingredients.
