6. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a cost-effective solution for treating dry or damaged hair. Just a tiny amount penetrates the hair shaft and, since coconut oil repels water, prevents the shaft from swelling due to moisture. This swelling and de-swelling process, called hygral fatigue, is a leading cause of hair damage.

It is best to apply coconut oil to dry hair for maximum permeability.
