Hair is simple in structure, but has important functions in social functioning. Hair is made of a tough protein called keratin. A hair follicle anchors each hair into the skin. The hair bulb forms the base of the hair follicle. In the hair bulb, living cells divide and grow to build the hair shaft.



Keratin is the type of protein that makes up your hair, skin, and nails. Keratin can also be found in your internal organs and glands. Keratin is a protective protein, less prone to scratching or tearing than other types of cells your body produces.

Here's two best ingredients easily available at your home that adds up shine to your hair!!

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a healthy natural hair care ingredient and is known to strengthen hair. It's an emollient, which means it creates a seal of oil around the hair, adding extra protection and shine while locking in moisture. Many oils (especially emollient oils) sit on top of your hair and scalp, but coconut oil penetrates. A key natural ingredient for natural hair that can help build a thicker hair texture, it can be used as a leave-in conditioner. It works for all hair types, but it primarily works wonders with dry and damaged hair. Experts recommend the use of products that use extracts rather than applying the raw form of the ingredient, which can be very thick and lead people to over-shampooing to get it all out.


Use: Coconut Oil Conditioning Shampoo and Repairing Conditioner, a hair product with natural ingredients, include coconut oil and keratin proteins. You can also check out Palmers' full Coconut Oil hair care collection.


Avocado Oil

For softness and shine, avocado oil works well as a leave-in conditioner that reduces breakage. It contains Vitamins A, D, and E and contains more potassium than its equal weight in bananas. It spreads easily and coats the hair without weighing it down too much. Rich in oleic acid and monosaturated fats, it is one of a few oils, like coconut oil, that can penetrate the hair follicle rather than just coat the shaft, making it one of the best natural ingredients for hair. It absorbs fast, too, making it an easy way to add nutrients to your scalp and hair follicles, a great option for users with dry or sensitive skin.

Use: Natural Fusions Shine and Hydration DIY Cocktail Kit, containing three all-natural essential oils, including avocado oil, you can mix with your own hair care products as your needs demand.
