Coconut oil is the holy grail ingredient that comes to mind when thinking of versatile and natural. Extracted from everyone’s favorite tropical fruit (or not?), coconut oil can be used in cooking, and it can be used to moisturize your body. 

Coconut oil has been having its moment as the shining star in hair care products. Many hair care products have incorporated coconut oil in their ingredient list because of the moisturizing benefits it offers to hair. 

While it can be used for all hair types, coconut oil is an ingredient people with curly hair should consider incorporating into their hair care routine.  

Curly hair needs extra moisture and nourishment, so incorporating coconut oil in your hair care routine is an excellent way to quench your curls!

When using coconut oil in your hair, it is always important to steam your hair. Steaming your hair opens your hair follicles and allows the product to be better absorbed. 

These are some ways coconut oil can be used to enhance your curls. 

Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff is tough to deal with in general, but it is more challenging to deal with dandruff when you have curly hair. Coconut oil can be used to nourish a dry scalp. Part your curls into sections depending upon how much nourishment your hair needs. If you have a relatively dry scalp, part your hair into smaller areas and add a few drops of coconut oil, and massage into your scalp. 

Shining Polish

Curly hair draws a lot of attention to itself. It is a statement and frequently gets more attention than whatever fabulous outfit you’re wearing. But dull hair is also a reality. Many people with curly hair complain about having dull hair. Using coconut oil as a leave-in conditioner can help add shine to your curls. One important thing to remember is to have clean hair before adding coconut oil to your curls. Coconut oil is rich in consistency, and adding it to a scalp that already has build-up may clog the hair follicles. 

Frizz Treatment

There are two types of oils. One can penetrate the skin and go deep within, and the other stays on the surface. Coconut oil falls somewhat in the middle of both these categories. It can penetrate the skin to provide nourishment but not enough to clog the scalp, and coconut oil also remains on the surface level. Adding coconut oil to your curly hair routine to tackle frizzy hair is a good idea because it can provide your hair with the desired moisture. 

Untangling Treatment

Untangling hair has to be one of the most tedious tasks a person has to perform. Untangling curly hair is a whole different story. Not only is it time-consuming, but it can also be painful and time-consuming. Apply some coconut oil to your finger to help melt it and apply in your hair from root to tip, untangling your hair with your fingers as you go. Try using this method of untangling the night before you plan on washing your hair. 

Coconut Oil is very versatile, and adding it to your hair care routine can enhance the way your curls look and feel! The Kenna Stimulating Scalp Tonic features virgin coconut oil as a star ingredient in its unique formula featuring 19 natural ingredients, and can help with all the above mentioned curl treatments.
