What makes coconut oil so special is that it has a lovely creamy texture that is filled with medium chain fatty acids. These fatty acids have a small molecular structure that gives them the ability to easily penetrate into the skin. Hence, they go deep into the hair follicles and nourish them with much-needed nutrients.
