Coconut Hair Oil Recipes:
Simple, Natural, Safe and Effective

Coconut hair oil recipes are so easy and cost-effective to prepare. As you will see, there's practically no preparation involved.

Commercial hair-care solutions are usually expensive and depend on chemicals that tend to secretly harm your hair. Coconut oil hair recipes are safe and very effective in giving you strong, beautiful hair.

My Personal Regimen

I personally put about a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil (VCO) on my hair after every bath. This is the simplest way for me. I tried a number of so-called VCO shampoos but they all didn't work for my dandruff. Harmful chemicals must have been added to these products.

If You Have the Time

If time is not an issue, the most effective way is to soak your hair thoroughly with coconut oil but not too much. You wouldn't want to be dripping all over the place. Leave it on for about an hour or two before washing. You can do this once, twice or even more times a week, depending on your situation, for maintenance purposes.

A Popular Method

Applying about a couple of teaspoons nightly and washed out in the morning is a popular method as well. You might want to put a covering on your head while sleeping for this one.

More Free Time?

Others like to cover their heads with a shower cap and then take a long relaxing bath, after which the oil is washed off. If you enjoy using the tub a lot, this one's for you.

Just Coconut Oil Does It

As you can see, recipes using coconut oil for your hair is as simple as using JUST virgin coconut oil. That's it! And it really works remarkably by itself. Give it a fair try. You'll be amazed!

The medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) or medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) found abundantly in coconut oil have antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic properties that keep your scalp from drying and breaking. A nicely MCFA-lubricated scalp is essential in giving you enviable hair.

Coconut hair oil recipes need not be elaborate. A coconut-oil-only-recipe can safely give you manageable, full of body and radiant hair. Indeed, nature knows best.

What about Coconut Milk?

Coconut or coco milk is an indispensable ingredient in many Filipino dishes. But it, too, can give your hair body and luster. Use the milk as you would the oil. My relatives and so do countless others in the provinces swear that using coconut milk even promotes hair growth and restores its natural color.

Personally though, I prefer using coco milk strictly at home, when I'm not going out. I find it a touch messy, hence, a little uncomfortable. But that's just me.
