Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated coconut oil is a versatile and beneficial addition to natural hair care routines. Unlike regular coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil is processed to remove long-chain fatty acids, leaving only medium-chain fatty acids that remain in liquid form at room temperature. This makes it an excellent lightweight moisturizer for natural hair, as it penetrates the hair shaft easily without leaving a greasy residue. It helps to hydrate and soften hair, reducing frizz and improving manageability. Additionally, its antibacterial and antifungal properties can help maintain a healthy scalp, preventing issues like dandruff. Fractionated coconut oil is also an effective carrier oil, making it perfect for mixing with essential oils to create custom hair treatments. Its long shelf life and non-comedogenic nature make it a practical choice for regular use in maintaining healthy, vibrant natural hair.
How to use:
Fractionated coconut oil is a versatile addition to your natural hair care routine, particularly when incorporated into the LCO (Liquid, Cream, Oil) method for sealing in moisture. As the final step in this method, fractionated coconut oil helps lock in moisture provided by the liquid and cream, thanks to its lightweight and non-greasy nature. To use it effectively, apply a small amount to your hair after applying your liquid and cream, focusing on the ends where moisture loss is most prevalent. Its ability to penetrate the hair shaft makes it ideal for keeping hair hydrated and reducing frizz.
During the week, fractionated coconut oil can also be used as a maintenance oil to refresh and moisturize your hair, helping to maintain softness and manageability between washes. For those who love a sleek silk press, this oil can be lightly applied before using heat tools to provide a protective barrier, add shine, and minimize heat damage. Its stability and long shelf life make it a convenient choice for consistent use in your hair care regimen.
