Using Coconut Oil For Hair Growth
Using
Coconut Oil For Hair Growth
One of the earliest forms of hair growth care was using coconut
oil simply for its properties and help with preventing hair
loss problems. Coconut oil on its own has many benefits, but
is enhanced when used with other home remedies such as these.
Try boiling a few hibiscus flowers in coconut oil, filter out
the oil and then use it regularly can help with hair thinning
and hair loss. While a mixture of coconut oil, garlic and pepper
can be very effective in stimulating the growth of new hair.
Also, when you are bathing and washing your hair, try to massage
your scalp for 10-15 minutes; this will help stimulate the blood
circulation to your scalp and if you do it every day it will
lessen hair loss.
If you find you have dry and damaged hair using coconut oil
is a common and popular product. It provides a lubricant and
contains nutrients like calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium
to provide nourishment for your hair. Coconut hair for hair
growth not only helps your hair grow longer, but keeps it healthy.
It is one oil you can apply to your hair and leave it on overnight
then wash it off in the morning. It will leave your hair shiny
and soft.
Coconut oil isn’t easily found in regular stores however,
but speciality stores should provide it. Stores of south East
Asian origin may well carry it; look for parachute coconut oil
it tends to work the best. You can also use Mira hair oil which
contains a combination of herbs and extra virgin coconut oil
needed for faster hair growth. If you use it overnight and wash
it off in the morning, you will see results.
Even with any home made remedies you use; there are some myths
about black hair you should know if you want to keep your hair
healthy.
Many believe that cutting their hair frequently will make the
hair grow faster, this is not true. Hair is dead, only the root
is still alive or else it would hurt when you cut it. In all
actuality, there is nothing you can do to the strand to make
it grow faster, but cutting it will make it look healthier because
you are removing the damaged ends when you cut it. Although
getting it cut twice a year will make it look better, it will
not make it grow faster.
Another myth is that black hair is stronger than any other
hair types and this is not true. Black hair’s internal
structure makes it more susceptible to breaking than any other
type and if the hair is chemically relaxed, this makes it even
more susceptible to breaking. You should use protein and moisture
treatments to help minimize the damage done to relaxed hair.
Many believe that brushing your hair will stimulate faster
hair growth too, this is not the case. In fact too much brushing
will actually lead to breakage of the hair and this is especially
true if you have relaxed hair.
Greasing your scalp is not good for moisture either. You may
have noticed your hair is still dry and damaged even if you
are using a variety of moisture products on it. This is because
grease and some oils contain petrolatum, lanolin and mineral
oils do not moisturize your hair effectively. They actually
seal out moisture to the hair instead of giving it the moisture
it needs. Only use these products to seal in shine and instead
use water based moisturizers for the hair. For example: Triple
Moisture Silk Touch Leave In, Organic Root Stimulator Carrot
Oil, Profectiv Mega Growth, Elasta QP Mango Butter and Cantu
Shea Butter Leave In. You might want to try using a light conditioner
after a moisture treatment to add moisture or an oil moisturizer
to seal in the moisture.
Taking prenatal vitamins does not make your hair grow longer;
in fact the reason many women have good hair growth while pregnant
is because of the elevation of the estrogen hormone during pregnancy
that is the cause. This hormone locks the hair in the growth
phase for longer than at any other time allowing to grow longer
than it normally would. Once the baby is born however, the hair
usually enters the shedding phase and for many women they experience
extreme shedding and hair loss. The hair will eventually return
to his normal phase and will grow at normal rates; birth control
pills will have a similar effect.
Vitamins do help hair grow though especially if they contain
biotin and folic acid which promotes faster hair growth. Vitamins
should also contain MSN which lengthens the growth phase of
your hair. You can learn how HairFinity vitamins can help make
your hair grow longer.
Another misconception is that relaxing your hair will make
it grow longer, this it not true. Natural hair has a curl to
it usually and straightening it although it makes it appear
to be longer, it’s really not. This is the same thing
that happens with relaxed hair, it is stretched to the maximum
limits sort of like stretching a rubber band. This stress on
the hair reduces its elasticity which is the hair’s natural
ability to return to its normal state without breaking. If your
hair lacks elasticity, it will more susceptible to breaking.
Black hair does not grow any slower than any other hair type
either. Hair tends to grow about half an inch a month and some
black hair will grow a bit slower, but not by much. The natural
curly pattern of black hair can make it seem like it grows slower
because it’s not stretched out. Using too many relaxers
will break the hair and if the hair growth is equal to the breakage,
it will make it appear the hair is not growing at all. Black
hair will also grow as long as any other hair type if cared
for properly.
If you use heat to style your hair, if you do it too often
you will damage it. When you straighten your hair using heat
you are altering the protein bonds in your hair and are in effect
weakening it. You should always use a good heat protection when
using heat to style your hair like Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat
Protection Spray found only at Sally’s. Also going to
a salon every week will not make your hair grow long; this will
happen if you properly take care of your hair.
