    TLDR Coconut and palm kernel oils could be effective ingredients in black hair shampoos.
    The study characterized the physicochemical and rheological properties of Cocos nucifera (coconut) and Elaeis guineensis (palm) oils to evaluate their suitability for black hair shampoo formulation. The research focused on parameters such as viscosity, density, and fatty acid composition, which are crucial for determining the effectiveness and quality of hair care products. The findings suggested that both oils possessed favorable properties that could enhance the performance of shampoos designed for black hair, potentially improving hair health and manageability.
