The magic potion for hair growth, coconut milk is a lesser known aspect of hair growth. 

Coconut milk is a magic brew for promoting hair growth. It is rich in protein, essential fats, iron and manganese. These are the elements that are valuable in growth and maintenance of healthy hair, as well as preventing hair loss. When applied topically to the hair, coconut milk provides quick positive results. Hair gets noticeably softer and hair loss diminishes instantaneously.

Extracting Coconut Milk

Take a dry coconut and grate it. 

Grind to a fine paste and then sieve through a soft fine cloth to collect the milk of the coconut. 


Applying Coconut Milk

•    Extract sufficient coconut milk depending on the length of your hair.

•    Apply the milk on the scalp and hair and allow it to dry.

•    Keep it for about 2 hrs and then rinse your hair with normal water (do not apply shampoo). 

•    This will leave behind the pure coconut oil in your hair. The natural oils from the milk coat the hair thus making it silkier and easier to manage.

•    Keep the oil for 24 hours and shampoo the following day. 

•    This process will make your hair softer and smoother. You can also see an almost immediate drastic reduction in your rate of hair loss. The hair fall gets arrested and fresh hair growth begins.

Frequency

•    For chronic cases of hair loss, do this once a week. 

•    For people with moderate hair loss, it can be done once in 2-3 weeks. 

This treatment helps just not in however it also improves the overall health and texture of hair.

Aloe Vera and Tulsi leaves can also be added to the coconut milk, they help in strengthening the hair.
