A Little Information:

Coconut Oil: Coconut oil was found to reduce protein loss in hair that was undamaged, bleached, chemically treated and UV exposed. It is mostly made up of a medium-chain fatty acid called lauric acid which gives coconut oil a long, straight structure, which is more easily absorbed into the hair shaft.

It could help you grow your hair out by Moisterizing and reducing breakage of hair, prevent damage to your hair when wet and protecting it from environmental damage from the wind, sun and smoke.

Coconut oil can help to prevent lice, gives your hair UV protection, treats dandruff and prevents hair loss.

 Neem Oil: Neem oil can treat dandruff, lice and eczema and is an anti-inflamitory. It is rich in fatty acids, limonoids, vitamin E, triglycerides, antioxidants and calcium. Neem oil should always be diluted with a carrier oil such as jojoba, olive, or coconut oil prior to topical application.

It could help you grow your hair out since neem has high fatty acid content. This oil is a good remedy for those that suffer from hair thinning and balding. Not just that, it will also make your hair shine. Neem oil is even helpful in preventing excess sebum production that blocks hair growth and leads to hair thinning.

Neem oil is effective against several human fungi including candida, which is one of the major cause of dandruff. When you have dandruff there is some underlying inflammation that makes the scalp red and irritated.

Neem has a strong, pungent odor similar to sulfuric garlic.

 Lavender Oil: Lavender oils uses have a wide range from getting rid of acne to promoting healthy locks of hair.

Lavender has antimicrobial properties which prevents bacteria and fungi growth. This means that it can be particularly helpful for sensitive scalps, as it prevents itchiness and dandruff. Lavender oil can also help your hair grow stronger and faster than normal by increasing circulation to the hair follicles.

Lavender nourishes the hair by moisturizing it while leaving it silky soft and smooth, it can also help with hair frizz.
