How to make a Coconut Hair Pack
This time, I’m going to make a hair pack using coconut oil. Coconut oil is used in a variety of ways, including eating and applying it to the skin. In particular, coconut oil has a small and simple molecular structure, so it is quickly absorbed and non-sticky, and it is often used for body/hair care.
There are many people who apply coconut oil directly to repair damaged hair. In this post, I’m going to make a proper hair pack using coconut oil. It is a pack that can supply moisture and supply nutrients to damaged hair. I didn’t put the fragrance separately, but there is a sweet amount of virgin coconut oil in the middle of the day. You may want to add a few drops of essential oil if you like.
*Tips
The citric acid used in this recipe was diluted 10% with citric acid. Mix in the ratio of 9 purified water to 1 citric acid.
