Coconut milk contains essential vitamins and minerals that nourishes the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and prevent hair breakage. Using coconut milk hair mask regularly will prevent your hair from thinning and keep it hydrated. Here is my favorite DIY coconut milk hair mask for hair growth worth trying.

As always, I recommend doing a skin patch test before applying any home remedy on your skin or scalp. To perform one, simply apply a small amount of your mixture on your upper inner arm or behind your ear. If redness, rash, swelling or itching occurs, you should not use the remedy.

How Does Coconut Milk Help With Hair Growth

Coconut Milk + Oil – are both nature’s gift to us all because they come with vitamins, minerals and also have anti-microbial properties. When applied to your hair regularly, both coconut milk and oil provides protein, healthy fats, and lauric acid to your hair follicles.

By feeding your hair and scalp these three ingredients on a regular basis, your hair follicles will become stronger, you’ll start to experience less hair loss, and your hair will become healthier. Coconut milk and oil also moisturizes the scalp, reduces dandruff and hair damage.

Honey – contains humectant properties, this means that it locks moisture into the hair which reduces hair breakage. Honey also stimulates dormant hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.

Another reason why you want to add honey to your hair masks for hair growth is that it contains anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. Both of which help keep the scalp clean from dandruff, soothes the scalp and gives your hair a silky, smooth shine.

Rosemary Essential Oil – increases blood flow in the scalp which is important for delivering nutrients into the hair follicles and stimulating hair growth. It also has anti-androgenetic properties which means it helps reduce hair fall.
