There is no mistaking the wonderful benefits of coconut oil for the softening and healing dry and damaged skin and hair. Coconut oil works wonders for burns, cuts, bruises, and speeds the healing while it fights infection. Coconut oil is different from other saturated fats because it is composed of medium-chain fatty acids, MCFAs. Dietary oils are composed of triglycerides that break down into fatty acids in the digestive process. These fatty acids have antimicrobial properties, and the most active are the lauric acid and capric acids which form 50 percent of the fat content of coconut oil. Lauric acid is was first identified in the fruit and seeds of the bay laurel, which has been used in folk medicine since ancient times.
Coconut oil is used to treat dry and damaged hair and adds a tropical aroma to hair pomades and conditioning oil treatments, and as a lathering ingredient for natural shampoos and soaps. Apply warm coconut oil to damp hair and keep covered for 15 minutes. Shampoo and enjoy luxuriant shiny hair.
