Coconut Oil: Knowledge from our ancestors to our scientists
Posted on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 by Arman Zulhajar
3. Coconut oil reduces swelling of the hair shaft when the hair is immersed into water, protecting the hair from hygral fatigue. (Journal of Cosmetic Science pg 169-184,2001) I could have stopped at number 1, seriously how good is number 1?! This is not to say that coconut oil is the only oil you should have, but if you are going to have just one, then this is THE ONE.African women have used coconut oil for hair and skin for centuries! Our ancestors probably landed on this oil after trial and error (as most things in science) but they definitely found a real gemstone. They did not have the instruments that scientists have today to prove just how wonderful this oil is. Here are some scientific reasons to go out and buy some coconut oil.
1. Coconut oil penetrates into the cortex (Journal of Cosmetic Science pg 169-184,2001).Why should you care? This oil can help condition, moisturise and strengthen your hair!
2. Coconut oil reduces damage to hair cuticle during combing especially wet combing that many naturals (not me) are fond of (Journal of Cosmetic Science pg 327-339,1999).
