Treat dandruff

Our scalp is one of the active areas in our body. If we do not take care of our skin then the natural oil in our scalp which is known as sebum will accumulate dead skin cells which will hence result in dandruff. If you have dandruff then coconut oil is one the best things to use. You can apply coconut oil overnight or just apply an hour before shower and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. Repeat the method for better results. There is also another method that many beauty experts recommend. All you have to do is take lemon juice and mix it with coconut oil. Apply to the scalp and leave it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes wash it off.
