CHAPTER I

The Introduction

Background of the Study

Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil can be used for a number of things, some the

same and some different. From what I have found is that Coconut Oil can be

used more for skin and hair in the reference of beauty, as well as cooking. Aloe

Vera seems to be used more for the purpose of skin care and medical reasons.

As Coconut Oil can be the same, each of these have their own benefits. So have

fun enjoying the benefits of both Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera, neither of these are

bad, and they are both good choices. It all really matters on your own

preference and what your using with it. Aloe Vera and coconut oil for dandruff

are known traditional ingredients. The skin cells on the scalp constantly renew

themselves by pushing away old cells. This process is called flaking. This flaking

is accelerated in times in case of a person suffering from dandruff adding

itchiness to it. Dandruff is caused due to a fungus called Malassezia globose. The

anti-inflammatory action of aloe Vera and coconut oil reduces scalp irritation and

anti-fungal properties protect against flaking and Malassezia globose. There’s

plenty of medical research on the health benefits of Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera

for your body, skin, and hair. Some people use coconut oil on their hair and scalp

because they believe that it helps hair grow faster. We’ll explore if this is actually

properties like Aloe Vera gives your hair strength and sheen you always wished

for. You can combine Aloe Vera with Coconut Oil to make a simple yet effective

hair mask. Coconut oil may help your hair feel softer and promote strength and

shine. It may also help reduce frizziness.
