Due to its unique chemical structure, coconut oil may also benefit your hair. And one of the best ways to nourish your hair with coconut oil is by using a hair mask. Coconut oil is the holy grail of haircare: it contains lauric acid, a type of fatty acid that permeates the hair shaft to support growth and moisturize dry spots. It’s also known to replenish proteins that are lost to color treatments and bleaching. Coconut oil hair masks have risen in popularity given their ability to penetrate the hair shaft (thanks to lauric acid) to moisturize and repair from within. They’ll also leave your strands shiny while repairing damage from all those aggressors like salt and chlorine.
