Many women dream of longer, thicker, and healthier hair—but commercial products can sometimes do more harm than good due to harsh chemicals. Luckily, natural ingredients like chia seeds and coconut oil offer powerful benefits to support hair growth and strength.
Why Chia Seeds and Coconut Oil?
· Chia Seeds: These tiny seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and proteins—all essential for nourishing hair follicles, reducing hair fall, and promoting growth.
· Coconut Oil: A well-known natural conditioner, coconut oil deeply moisturizes hair strands, reduces protein loss, prevents breakage, and improves scalp health by fighting fungi and bacteria.
Ingredients Needed
· 2 tablespoons chia seeds
· 3-4 tablespoons pure coconut oil (organic cold-pressed is best)
· Warm water (to soak chia seeds)
Step-by-Step DIY Hair Mask Preparation
