There are several types of mercury. They include metallic mercury, and both inorganic and organic mercury compounds. Many of these forms are found in our environment, however, the most common natural forms include metallic mercury, mercury sulfide, mercuric chloride, and methylmercury (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp46.html).
Cover your hair with a shower cap. You can choose to apply heat or not. Applying heat will open the cuticle of each strand so the coconut oil hair treatment can penetrate the core faster. Leave the coconut oil on your hair for at least 30 minutes without heat, or 15 minutes with heat. You can use a hair dryer to apply heat over the shower cap.
Another great hair treatment is to mix melted coconut oil and honey and massage through hair. Leave on for at least 20 minutes and then wash normally. My favorite ratio is 4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of honey.
