Coconut Oil

In the last beauty tip, you’ll find a comment from my good friend at the Muslimah Blog asking about coconut oil.
Specifically, she said;

In addition, did you know Coconut oil helps your hair growth? Can you find out more about it and enlighten us.

Thank you

JazakAllah Khair

Well, I did some research.

I learned this: that coconut oil is good for… just about everything, actually.

The biggest deal appears to be coconut oil’s benefits for your skin. It’s a great moisturizer with almost no adverse effects. I haven’t tried it myself, but I plan to, at which point I can give a description of how it affects acne-prone skin (which I have.) Because of it’s powerful moisturizing properties, it can help prevent wrinkles–but also because it’s a powerful antioxidant (an antioxidant battles free radicals, which cause aging.)

A coconut oil massage is very relaxing, so it’s also been cited as a stress-reducer. But if that wasn’t enough, it can help treat a full host of diseases and ailments, such as Alzheimer’s, tooth decay, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, Diabetes, infections, and probably others.

Now to answer the actual question: Yes, it is also good for the hair =3 A coconut oil scalp massage can eradicate dandruff and itchiness (product of the powerful moisturizer), and it can replenish the natural coating on a hair follicle, especially a damaged follicle, to shield it from breakage and splitting. This will help keep your hair thick and give it a nice lustre. For this reason, you’ll notice that coconut oil is an ingrediant in many shampoos and conditioners, but nothing beats the real thing!

Thanks for the question =3
