Vitamin C: aids the skin in building collagen protein which is key to hair growth. Vitamin C also plays an essential role in absorbing iron, which keeps our locks healthy and strong.
Fatty Acids: Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid. This gives the coconut oil molecules their long, straight structure enabling them to be more easily absorbed into the hair shaft. This allows the hair to reduce protein loss and remain healthy. Olive oil is rich in Oleic aid, palmitic acid, and squalene. These fatty acids help your hair to retain moisture and prevent dryness and breakage.
Anti-bacterial and Anti-fungal properties: Create a soothing effect on the scalp and help to unclog clogged follicles and fight dandruff. These two ailments are some of the major contributing factors to hair loss.
Antioxidants: These molecules help to protect the hair against damage caused by free radicals. They improve hair growth by boosting collagen levels to protect the connective tissues of hair follicles and scalp cells in the blood vessels.
Reduced DHT production: Olive and coconut oil are shown to block the product of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone linked to hair loss.
