Steps

Method 1 of 4: Moisturize Hair

1. 

   Put old clothes or towels on. Coconut oil can drip down, so put an old shirt or towel over your body to prevent it from dripping onto the clothes you are wearing. It's best to start applying oil in the bathroom, but while you wait for the coconut oil to soak in your hair for a few hours, you can still walk around and do other things.

2. 

   
   
   Use a hair cap. You can use a cap, plastic wrap, or an old T-shirt to wrap around your hair. Choose something that stays in place for a few hours, or even overnight.

3. 

   
   
   Measure 3-5 tablespoons of coconut oil in a bowl, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Use 5 spoons if your hair is long and thick; 3-4 tablespoons if the hair is shorter and thinner.
   • Use oil that has not been refined, manually pressed (not refined or extracted with solvents).Refined coconut oil contains additives and has been processed, so some natural compounds that work to make skin and hair healthy are lost after the refining process. Meanwhile, virgin coconut oil retains its natural essence and has a good effect. Similarly, solvent-extracted coconut oil often contains the toxic hexane solvent.
   • Be careful not to use too much coconut oil; Only apply oil on the body and ends of the hair. If you use too much, especially near the scalp, your hair will become greasy even if you wash it well. The scalp is the natural oily production of the hair.

4. 

   
   
   Warm up coconut oil. Do not use the microwave oven to avoid destruction of biological activity.
   • You can melt the coconut oil by hand. Place a teaspoon of coconut oil in your palm and rub your hands together. Coconut oil will melt with just a little heat.
   • You can also heat coconut oil on the stove. Scoop coconut oil in a small saucepan and heat on the stove on low heat until melted.

   Rub coconut oil into your hair. Apply coconut oil around the top of your head, smoothing it all over, but avoid oily skin and roots unless your hair is extremely dry. Use your fingers to massage hair down the ends. Continue with the massage until the oil is completely absorbed into your hair.
   • You can use a comb to brush the oil to soak evenly anywhere in your hair. Brush from roots to ends.
   • You may just want to moisturize the ends, not the roots. If so, simply rub coconut oil into the ends of your hair instead of the scalp. Use your hands to gently massage your hair.

6. 

   Wrap your hair up and snap it back neatly. Put an old hair cap, wrap or T-shirt over your head and wrap all of your hair.
   • You can also maintain your hair by using a loose headband.
   • Use a washcloth to wipe down any drops of coconut oil that run down your face during the incubation process.

7. 

   Leave the coconut oil on for 2 hours or overnight to allow it to penetrate into your hair. The longer you incubate, the higher the moisturizing effect. So please wait patiently to get the best results.

8. 

   Remove the cap and rinse it off. Use your favorite shampoo to wash off coconut oil. Wash 2 to 3 times until you feel the hair is gone.

9.
