With all the nutrients of coconut milk (as well as healthy fats) its no wonder it works great for hair. To get the full benefits you must massage coconut milk into your scalp with your fingertips and then brush the milk throughout your hair.

Once you are done, cover your hair with a towel and let the coconut milk sit for an hour or two. The longer it sits, the better.  The oils within the coconut milk works in conditioning, moisturizing and strengthening the hair.  A common practice in Cebu and throughout the Philippines is to warm the coconut milk up prior to applying it to stimulate the active ingredients.

In my experience of using this for 4 years the benefits to my hair have been:

• Strengthening my hair
• shiny fuller hair
• limits the split ends
• helps remove tangles 
• Avoid harmful chemicals
