Whether we realize it or not, our hair endures a lot of stress. Regular use of chemical products for hair, dry water, pollution, even UV rays cause hair protein and moisture loss. As a result hair looks dull, rough and lifeless. Applying shampoo that has harsh chemicals on it will increase the pain of the hair. Many people use shampoos that claim to be low in ammonium content and high in natural ingredients. But this type of shampoo can also damage the hair, because shampooing inevitably washes away the hair proteins.
Oiling your hair before stepping into the shower has been found to be the best way to keep your hair looking strong and shiny. It should be remembered that no oil should be applied. Apply an oil that has ingredients that penetrate deep into the hair and reach the roots. Only then can the root of the hair be saved from the chemicals in the shampoo. And for this, you must massage with coconut oil before shampooing! Find out exactly what eminent dermatologist, cosmetologist Dr. Aparna Santhanam has to say about this.
Coconut oil is one of the few versatile hair oils that can reach deep into the hair. Coconut oil not only keeps hair moisturized, but also retains essential proteins. As a result, protein is not lost during washing, hair is strong and healthy. Before shampooing, it is better to mix ingredients like amlaki, onion, sesame, black cumin with coconut oil and massage the hair. This is a simple yet effective way to promote hair growth and health.
Depending on how much care your hair deserves, you can apply coconut oil the night before, or just before washing your hair. There's no way to avoid shampooing, so here's how to make a coconut oil mask to apply on your hair beforehand. You can easily make this mask yourself. This mask will protect our hair with much needed moisture and shine.
1) Pour half a cup of olive oil and one cup of coconut oil in a bowl and shake it.
2) Massage it into your hair strands and scalp and leave it for 30-45 minutes (you can leave it overnight if needed).
3) If you want, you can tie a little hot towel on your head for 30-45 minutes.
4) Wash the hair, then shampoo.
