Coconut oil is a very popular superfood around the world for its amazing benefits. It's been used for centuries for cooking recipes & maintaining a healthy hair.
I myself is a regular user. I use it for the following:
HAIR SHAMPOO + COCONUT OIL
This process stimulates the hair, scalp and follicles without clogging and causing hair loss.
- Mix equal quantities of coconut oil and your regular shampoo.
- Apply on the hair and leave for few minutes and wash your hair normally.
HAIR CONDITIONER + COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is free of the scary chemicals that lurk in commercial hair products, and is an excellent conditioner, for all types of hair.
- To Condition, mix your conditioner and 3 tablespoons of cold pressed virgin coconut oil.
- Apply mixture to damp scalp, massaging in circles for 3 minutes.
- Rinse with water and towel dry.
- Repeat 2-3 times a week.
COCONUT OIL + RAW HONEY HAIR MASK
This mask helps to treat dry and damaged hair and makes your hair soft, smooth and healthy.
- Mix equal quantities of organic coconut oil and organic raw honey.
- Heat it on the stove for few seconds to get warm.
- Apply to scalp and hair and warp in shower cap, and leave on 40 minutes.
- Rinse with warm water, wash with natural shampoo, and towel dry.
- Repeat atleast 2 times a week.
COCONUT OIL & BROWN SUGAR FACIAL
SCRUB
Coconut oil is naturally good for acne prone skin because of its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. It also contains lauric acid, which lifts dirt & bacteria.
Coconut & coffee mixture is also great because coffee is the world's source of "antioxidants" but I use brown sugar for the reason that its much softer on my face.
- In an empty small glass jar with lid,
- Mix 3 tablespoon of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Mix well and viola! You already have an organic facial and body scrub for silky smooth skin. Natural and chemical free!
- Massage your face with the mixture in circular motions for 30 seconds.
- Rinse and pat dry. The oil will absorb immediately.
In the winter & summer season, the weather can be so harsh and my skin get so dry so I use the coconut oil to rub into my dry elbows and feet and leave it for 25 minutes before taking a shower. It helps to moisturize and removes all the dead cells on the skin’s surface.
COCONUT OIL FOR WEIGHT LOSS
According in Healthline, coconut oil is the world's most weight loss friendly fat. It contains a unique combination of fatty acids with powerful effects on metabolism.
Coconut oil can reduce appetite, making you eat less without trying.
Several studies show that just by adding coconut oil to your diet, you can lose fat, especially the "dangerous" fat in the abdominal cavity.
Therefore, coconut oil can support a healthy, real-food based weight loss diet, but don't expect it to work any miracles on its own. Combined with other proven weight loss strategies such as cutting carbs, eating more vegetables and fruits and ofcourse proper exercise, it can lead to a dramatic result for sure!
