Hair Care Tip: How to Still Look Good During COVID-19

in /by

With the national stay-at-home order being in place the past few weeks, you may have wondered how can you keep yourself up when you can’t go to the barbershop for a prolonged period of time. You may have even started dabbling into trying to cut your own hair. Whatever situation you find yourself in, there is one thing that you can do to ensure that your hair and scalp stays healthy and strong: apply coconut oil.

Yes, coconut oil is one of the best hair care solutions we recommend. It doesn’t matter what ethnicity you are, African America, Caucasian, Asian, Latino, etc., coconut oil is unlike many of the expensive oils you see on the market that are filled with  harsh chemicals that are bad for both your scalp and hair, coconut oil works for any scalp.

In order for your hair to remain healthy – it is required that you maintain a healthy balance of moisture, something that gets lost in most people’s hair and scalp over time, especially with infrequent visits to a hair care professional. The coronavirus (COVID-19) is preventing people like you from being under the watchful care of a hair care professional.

However, coconut oil works to retain moisture in your hair and scalp, which helps you maintain healthy-looking hair.

Protein In Your Hair

 Just like the muscles in your body that require protein for growth, your hair is made up of total protein composition. What this means is that when your hair loses protein, the result is weak and unhealthy hair. This is not what you want.

The good news for you is that coconut oil works from the inside-out to reduce the loss of protein in your hair. Research shows that coconut oil is the only oil that has the capability to do this.

Antibacterial Properties

With COVID-19 running rapid, cleanliness and eradicating bacteria and germs is at an all-time high. The great news is that coconut oil has antibacterial properties that fight and protect your scalp against viral infections, harmful bacteria and germs.

So as you can see, choosing coconut oil, an all-natural solution, is a great way to keep yourself up during this time of isolation…and even once this pandemic is over, coconut oil is an awesome hair care solution to apply to your hair and scalp.

We recommend that you massage your scalp with coconut oil to ensure that your scalp is nice and moist and that your hair follicles have the nutrients they needs to grow, keeping you with a full head of shiny, healthy-looking hair.

As a Recap, Coconut Oil:

  • Stimulates hair growth getting deep into its follicles.
