Deep conditioning: Wash your hair with a shampoo and do not condition them. Now, heat some coconut oil in a bowl. Once your hair has completely dried, start applying it to your hair and massage it into your scalp. Comb your hair to ensure the oil has penetrated in your scalp and it has coated every strand of your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it for 45 minutes. You can also leave it overnight. Rinse it off with shampoo again. Use this technique whenever you plan to wash your hair.

Fight Dandruff: Take aloe vera gel and coconut oil in a bowl and mix them properly. Apply this mixture on your hair and leave it for an hour. This pack is said to help moisturise your hair scalp, thereby solving the problem of hair loss.

Coconut oil and olive oil hair pack: These two oils are said to condition your hair and fight dryness, further boosting your hair growth giving you soft, frizz-free hair. Mix coconut oil and olive oil in a bowl and heat them. Massage the solution onto your hair and scalp. Soak a towel in hot water, wring out the excess water and wrap it around your head. Leave it for about an hour and wash it off with a mild shampoo. Follow this process regularly.
