Hey all,
This is preliminary as I haven't been using it for long, but coconut seems to do wonders for hair loss. I have used it 2x, and each time there is very little hair that I lose in the shower. And my hair is so soft and nice to touch, and shiney! I've also noticed that my red undertones have come out more after using it only a couple times!! The other positive is that I do have a whole bunch of new hair growth that makes me look like perma-bedhead, and the coconut oil help tame those suckers down.
I just buy some good quality coconut oil from the health food store, and put it in my scalp. Because my hair is so dry, I've been putting it through the entire shaft.
My roommate has commented on how healthy my hair looks afterwards, and she thinks thicker as well, but I'm not so sure.
Just note that if you try this, don't use gels or foams or minoxidil after you wash it out. When I did, my hair became hard and straw like so I had to wash it out again! You can put it on once it has dried.
Supposedly coconut oil can help with hair loss and regrowth, seems that most coconut experts (if that's what they actually are) say to use it 2-3x/wk. Apparently can also help with white hairs.
Anyways, just wanted to give you another possibility to add to your already prolonged hair care routine :p I strongly do suggest that you try it! If you do, post here and tell me how it went!
Anyone else have experience with coconut oil?
Cheers
