Coconut hair mask provided by Yemeni Products Center
Coconut oil can protect and moisturize the hair and makes an effective natural hair mask. Someone can make a coconut oil hair treatment at home using ingredients they may already have.
In recent years coconut oil has gained attention for its anti-inflammatory properties and active compounds to treat and prevent certain health conditions.
In addition, people use coconut oil topically on their skin and hair as a moisturizer or treatment for conditions such as eczema or irritation.
According to a 2015 review Trusted Source, saturated fats such as coconut oil diffuse into the hair much better than polyunsaturated oils, reducing the amount of water the hair absorbs.
This prevents the hair from repeatedly swelling and drying out, which results in hair damage. Oils can fill the gap between the cuticle cells and stop chemicals in shampoos penetrating the follicle.
The review indicates that coconut was the only oil that reduced protein loss compared to sunflower oil and mineral oil in an older 2003 study Trusted Source on both damaged and undamaged hair.
Coconut oil’s principal fatty acid is lauric acid, and this has a high affinity for hair protein because of its low molecular weight and straight linear chain.
