 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Scalp care is crucial since it determines the health and condition of the hair and helps to

avoid scalp and hair problems. Coconut milk protects hair from damage during the grooming

procedure. This action appears to be due to coconut milk's ability to enter the hair cuticle and

cortex (J Cosmet Sci, 2003). Hair is a one-of-a-kind biocomposite that continues to astound us

due to its complexity in structure, morphology, content, and physical qualities. Hair, in addition

to shielding the head from external assaults, plays an essential function in one's attractiveness,

image, and social acceptability. Although the hair arises from the scalp, it really spends almost

12-18 months exposed to the external environment in the case of participants with longer hair. It

sustains different damages over time as a result of several external causes like washing,

shampooing, combing, dyeing, environmental exposure (pollution, humidity, etc.), and physical

therapies (straightening, perming, etc.). These variables all impact hair health differently,

manifesting as weak, dull, stiff, harsh, and unmanageable hair (Wolfram LJ, 2003).

The condition of the hair plays an important role in our physical appearance and

self-perception. The quantity, quality, and styling of our hair define our gender, age, health, and

social status. There are no significant differences in the number of hair follicles between men and

women, or between the different races. Differences in the appearance of hair are due to the type

of hair produced by the follicle and the type of hair care practiced by the individual (Ralph et al.,

2018).
 In order to maintain a healthy scalp and keep your hair healthy and shining on a daily

basis. Experts have combined the effectiveness of coconut milk and aloe vera as hair

conditioners. According to Femima (2019), coconut milk is known for its magnanimous content

of vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5, and B6 as well as iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium,

and phosphorus. Aloe vera contains vitamins A, C, and E. All three of these vitamins contribute

to cell turnover, promoting healthy cell growth and shiny hair( Watson,2020). In fact, because of

those nutrients, the scalp remains nourished and hair follicles are strengthened, thereby

promoting hair growth. What’s more, because of their brilliant moisturizing capacity, coconut

milk, and aloe vera can help you keep your hair smooth and silky ( Femima, 2019).

Human hair serves the purpose of protecting the scalp against the burning sun and

avoiding foreign objects that could hurt the skin or enter the body, as well as physical

attractiveness to the perception of beauty. One way to maintain healthy hair is to use conditioner,

which helps to moisturize hair and makes it shinier and frizz-free. Some types of conditioner

include leave-in sprays and lotions, deep-conditioning treatments, and the most popular rinse-out

conditioner. However, some conditioner products contain harmful ingredients that are bad for the

scalp. For example, sulfate, triclosan, retinyl palmitate, and fragrance. It is recommended to use

conditioner after each shampoo to replace moisture since conditioner helps to smoothen and

detangles the hair, which prevents breaking and split ends (Fasanella, 2020).

Coconut has a ton of moisturizing and nourishing qualities. Almost everything about it,

including its flesh, water, oil, and milk, can be employed in some capacity for its beautifying

properties. It is one of the most traditional and organic ingredients and has been used for

generations to heal difficulties with the skin, the scalp, and the hair. Coconut milk, a natural fruit
rich in niacin and vitamins, is one of the best things to use to treat hair. It improves blood

circulation in your scalp, fights damage, and conditions hair deeply (Sanya H., 2020).

Aloe vera is a plant that supposedly has healing capabilities that are helpful for our scalp

and hair. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids, natural sugars,

and agents that may be anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial (J. Chem. Pharm. Res., 2010).

Since ancient times, people have known and used aloe vera plants for the benefit of their health,

beauty, and skin (Surjushe A, et al., 2008).

Statement of the Problem

Shampoo use has been linked to hair damage, most likely as a result of frequent

applications eroding surface structures. Aloe vera gel and coconut milk have well-known

health-promoting qualities, and because of the many advantages they offer to your hair, they are

also incredibly nourishing. Aloe vera provides anti-fungal capabilities to maintain a healthy scalp

and healing enzymes that restore damaged dead skin cells. By mending and bolstering the hair, it

eliminates dullness from the hair in conjunction with coconut milk.

This study is conducted regarding coconut milk and aloe vera and their applicability and

functions as hair products with the objective to answer the following question;

a. What are the side effects and good effects of using coconut milk and aloe vera on the
human scalp and hair?
b. How bad can the side effects be and how do the good effects outweigh them?
c. How effective is using homemade and natural products, and how does it compare to
commercialized products?
d. What factors make the respondents favor regular shampoo and conditioner over aloe vera
and coconut milk?
Significance of the Study

This research study will benefit the following:

Environment. This research will benefit the environment by promoting the advantages of

organic products as hair conditioners that can aid in the repair of damaged hair.

Future Researchers. This study can be used as a reference in collecting and gathering

information for related studies that will be conducted in the future.

Parents. This research will aid in the collection of data on the efficacy of utilizing natural

products on their kid or themselves. Since children are prone to or sensitive to the majority of

commercial items, it will be advantageous for them to develop hypoallergenic products.

Students. This study will aid in the collection of data on how these items are beneficial for their

well-being and the potential advantages of utilizing coconut milk. The data supplied will be used

to assess if Aloe Vera and Coconut milk are good hair conditioners.

Scope and Delimitation

This study focuses on the feasibility of coconut milk and aloe vera as organic

nourishment in hair products in managing hair concerns specifically frizzy hair.

This study needs to cover the progress in growing new hair by using our product, which

requires prolonged use. And also the researchers would also determine if there are other benefits

to using coconut milk, and aloe vera as hair products.

The purposive sampling approach will be used. The total number of respondents will be

25, all of them are Holy Spirit Academy of Laoag senior high and grade 10 students ranging

from ages 16 to 18. Each person will test the product to see how it affects their hair and scalp.
Conceptual Framework

This diagram depicts the study's conceptual framework. In order to adequately show its
principles in an orderly manner, the researchers used the Input-Process-Output (IPO) model in
the research study.
Coconut milk and aloe vera are the experimental components. Together with the
step-by-step method of mixing the components and using the finished product correctly. The
final result will be recorded, determining if the product is successful as a hair conditioner as well
as its additional advantages.
