How To Condition Hair with Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a cheap and effective deep-conditioning treatment for hair. It will fight frizz, moisturize your dry hair and give strength and life to your looks. It is a great option as it does not contain alcohol or chemicals, which are present in a number of drugstore and salon conditioning treatments. Coconut oil is highly rich in fatty acids, which moisturize and nourish the hair and scalp. Polynesian cultures have been using this for centuries as beauty oil.
Studies and findings have proved that coconut oil applied to your hair improved the strength and prevented the hair from breakage. As a result, coconut oil is a great choice and is a good substitute for expensive deep conditioning salon treatments, as you can use it at home with much ease. There are a number of ways to condition your hair with good effect by the help of coconut oil.

Getting started
Fill one full cup of boiling water into a small bowl. Take two table spoons of coconut oil out of the bottle and dissolve it into the glass cup. Make sure that you are using a clean spoon. Put the cup of coconut oil into the bowl of hot water. Place the cup in the bowl and wait for the coconut oil to melt in the bowl. This is because pure coconut oil is solid at room temperature, but melts rapidly at 76 degrees F or higher than that.

Massage the oil in your hair
Massage the coconut oil throughout your hair and onto the scalp. If you possess long hair, you will need to use a little more coconut oil for the massage. Rub the coconut oil to damp or dry hair that is totally up to you. The oil will spread more quickly through the damp hair than dry hair. Therefore, prefer applying the coconut oil on damp hair.

Further instructions
Comb through your hair to spread the oil evenly. Place a shower cap on the head and put all your hair inside of it. Try to have the hair like this for an hour, or preferably for the whole night. Oil will condition your hair the more you let it on. You should shampoo your hair two times to make sure the oil is fully removed from the hair. Take a small amount of coconut oil in your hands and dab it on your hair for extra conditioning.
