Ruby


if you know the benefits of each thatd be great!
and what type of hair each are used for


thankyou!



Answer
That might depend on what you want to use it for.
Henna is good for dandruff removal and prevention for a while afterwards. It has to be pure unadulerated henna though....be careful what you buy if you are going to buy henna....look for 100% pure henna only. Read the label before you buy. It is only really suitable for dark brown to black hair. It will gve dark brown hair a reddish glow and shine, particularly in sunlight. You can however add a little coffee powder to the henna powder before making a paste if you want to dampen down the red.It will condition the hair and scalp. It is perhaps too messy for regular use. You should always carry out a spot test first....to be sure you won't get an allergic reaction as it might not suit the scalp of everyone. It will take some washing off.....a few washes. It is difficult to apply....you really need someone to do that for you.

Coconut oil is good for dandruff prevention if used regularly and you could use it once a week for that.....make sure you apply it to your scalp as well as hair. But you will have to wash it off with at least two washes. It also leaves your hair soft and quite conditioned.....though you can still use your regular conditioner afterwards. Coconut oil can also be used for lice removal. It can be used on any hair type and colour.

Hope that is of some help.

Answer
The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength.

Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shiny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.

Weight Loss: Coconut oil is very useful in reducing weight. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems. Further, it increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thereby burning out more energy and helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas, who eat coconut oil daily as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese or overweight.
