Coconut oil for hair: How long should I leave coconut oil in my hair

Coconut oil contains Vitamin E and lauric acid, both of which are particularly beneficial for your hair.

Lauren explained: “Coconut oil is said to help promote hair growth as the vitamins and fatty lauric acid help to bind the protein in hair.

“The oil protects strands and roots from breakage and split ends and therefore contributes to growth.

“Coconut oil can also help to coat and penetrate the hair shaft, protecting it against pollution, weather and heat.”
