Coconut Oil

This natural oil is taken from mature coconuts. Coconut oil is a reliable source of lauric acid, which is an antimicrobial, saturated fat. Lauric acid also works to make the skin effectively absorb coconut oil, which makes the oil particularly soothing. Coconut oil also has a neutral smell and isn't harsh, so individuals won't need to dilute it before applying it to their scalp. This oil can also be used for an itchy scalp that occurs due to eczema. Placing the oil on the scalp can prevent and reduce head lice as well. If coconut oil is mixed with anise, the combination will help to eliminate scalp irritation caused by lice, according to a study conducted in 2010.
