Coconut oil hair masks are perfect for those women who suffer from split ends and dry hair, and for those who have battered and very dry hair.

To apply this mask you will need 2 to 4 tablespoons of oil, depending on the length of your hair. Again we recommend heating the oil if it is solid, then you should apply the same from the middle of your hair down, avoiding the roots.

Rub well into your hair for a uniform effect. Then put on a bathing cap and leave on for at least 2 hours. If you want maximum moisturizing effect then leave this coconut oil mask on your hair overnight, this way your hair will look much healthier and beautiful. To remove, wash your hair regularly, making sure that it is not greasy.
