Why is coconut oil bad for your hair? This is a question that I am asked all the time by my friends and family. If you are like me, chances are that you have asked this question at least once. The reason that I’m going to write this article is so you can get an honest answer from someone who has used coco oil on their hair. My hope is that by the time you’re finished reading this, you’ll have a better understanding of what you can expect when you choose to use it on your hair.
First of all, let me explain what coconut oil is and how it works. One of the benefits of using this oil on your hair is that it can strengthen your hair. This is an important issue because as we age our hair tends to become weaker in some areas. This weakness may be caused by numerous factors including genetics, stress and diet. The more you can do to protect and strengthen your hair, the better off you’ll be.
So, why is coconut oil bad for your hair? Well, the biggest disadvantage is that it can actually cause some sort of chemical reaction in your hair. This reaction can occur if you decide to put a bit of it on your head, or just rub it against it. The end result of this is that you may develop some sort of hair loss. This can be very worrisome, since many people do not want to consider taking such a drastic step.
The second reason is because of the way it makes your hair stronger. I mentioned earlier that this is an antioxidant so it helps to strengthen your hair as well as make it easier to manage. This is a really great thing that you should take full advantage of but you have to remember that it can make your hair weak over time if you do not pay close attention to how you treat it.
The third reason is due to the fact that it can actually weaken your hair. If you happen to use it to coat your hair when drying it, you are taking a step in the wrong direction. You want to dry your hair with a towel so that it is nice and warm. If you leave it in the bathroom for too long it can cause your hair to become brittle and even break. Try to keep it in the bathroom until your hair has cooled down for at least ten minutes and then style it the way you usually do.
