How Coconut Oil Protects Natural Hair During Exercise & Swimming

Let’s keep it real, have you ever finished a killer workout or a long swim, looked in the mirror, and felt like your crown was paying the price? Between the salt in our sweat and the chlorine in the pool, our hair is often under attack. Most of us were told to ‘tame’ the frizz or ‘control’ the dryness, but at EBAN, we believe in liberation, not control.

The secret to protecting your hair during your loudest, most unapologetic activities isn’t found in a lab—it’s found in the ‘Tree of Life.’ Coconut oil isn’t just a trend; for the active woman, it is your primary fence of protection. Here’s why your gym bag—and your crown—needs it.

3 Reasons Coconut Oil is Your Workout’s Best Friend:

• It Penetrates, Not Just Coats: Unlike mineral oils that suffocate your scalp, coconut oil reaches deep into the hair shaft to prevent protein loss.
• The Hydrophobic Shield: It naturally repels water. Applying it before a swim or run keeps salt and chlorine out.
• Strength for the Stretch: It increases hair elasticity, meaning fewer snap-offs when you’re pulling your hair back for HIIT or yoga.

When it comes to natural hair care, the praises for coconut oil are well-deserved and extensive. Extracted from the kernel of mature coconuts, this staple oil offers remarkable benefits for hair due to its nutrient-rich profile. Let’s dive deep into the history, properties, and advantages of coconut oil for the optimal health of your hair.

Coconut Chronicles

Coconuts have been predominantly grown and harvested in tropical regions for millennia. Celebrated for its versatility, coconut oil has not only been an essential component in traditional medicine and cuisine, but has also garnered acclaim for its contributions to skin and hair care routines.

Properties of Coconut Oil

Saturated with a spectrum of beneficial fatty acids, coconut oil contains caprylic, capric, and lauric acids, making it incredibly moisturizing and antimicrobial. It’s also rich in Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant beneficial for hair health.

Bountiful Benefits of Coconut Oil for Hair

There’s a plethora of reasons why coconut oil is cherished in hair care routines:

• Deep Nourishment: The small molecular structure of coconut oil allows it to penetrate deeply into hair strands, providing intense hydration.
• Scalp Health: Its antimicrobial properties play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy scalp, preventing issues caused by bacterial and fungal growth.
• Damage Protection: Coconut oil can significantly reduce the protein loss in hair that leads to damage and breakage.
• Hair Shine: Regular application of coconut oil can bring a captivating shine back to dull hair.

It’s always recommended to perform a patch test to ensure coconut oil does not cause an allergic reaction for you.
