Here at Lucy Bee, we are all about simple, natural and organic. We think it is important to use products and ingredients that are safe for your skin and scalp. Using organic and natural coconut oil on your hair makes a fantastic mask, serum and oil. We also include coconut oil in some of our skincare and body products.
Organic, Extra Virgin or Virgin is what you should look for when buying coconut oil. An added bonus and an important one at that is looking to see if it is fair trade which means you are making a better choice in the way the coconut oil has been produced.
Coconut Oil: Facts
The people living in the coastal and tropical regions have been using and have known and seen first-hand the beneficial properties of coconut oil for thousands of years.
Coconut oil is the first plant oil ever used by mankind. It is derived from mature fruits of coconut trees. It is thick and white semi-solid; therefore, you need to warm it before using for hair and on the skin. Just rub it in the palm of your hands before applying. It is also consumed as a cooking oil and in raw treats and bakes. Coconut Oil is very versatile.

Coconut Oil for Hair Growth: Hello Glossy Hair
Coconut oil completely penetrates the hair and as a result it gives the hair more volume which makes it look denser, healthier and fuller.
Fatigue Prevention
Hair is easily damaged by overheating it, friction, over washing it, harsh chemicals, colouring it regularly. You can prevent damage by using coconut oil once or twice a week.
Conditions from Within
Coconut oil retains moisture, so necessary for well-moisturised and strong hair. This keeps the hair looking shiny and healthy.
Anti-bacterial Properties
In addition, coconut oil has antibacterial properties (it contains something called lauric acid) and nutrients, responsible for ideal hair and scalp protection from bacteria/protozoan/viral infections.
Please note, all hair is different, we recommend doing a small patch test on your hair to see if this suits your hair and scalp.
