I have heard that this oil is good for growing eye lashes, reducing pores, reducing bagginess under the eyes, and for controlling frizz...is this true? What else can this oil be used for? I just bought it, and it smells so good I have to stop myself from eating it! I put it in my hair once but it was too oily...is there something else I can mix this oil with? Or is there something extra I have to do?

My grandma used coconut oil, she made herself from fresh coconut, to get rid of lice on her head. In Asia, thousands of people do.
5 Hair Care MYTHS - BUSTED

âOld wivesâ tales and ineffective products that claim to treat or rehabilitate hair often have a placebo effect because people want them to work,â says Davis-Sivasothy, author of âHair Care Rehab,â (www.haircarerehab.com). âBut many of these ideas and products actually do the opposite of whatâs intended, and they delay the user from seeking out real solutions.â
Davis-Sivasothy debunks the following common hair-care myths:
â¢Â Myth: Thereâs a magic pill (or oil, serum or balm) to grow our hair faster, stronger or thicker. Unfortunately, no. Hair growth is genetically predetermined and controlled by our hormones. Unless the magic pill affects our genes or hormones, thereâs no hope that it might make our hair grow. (This includes prenatal vitamins. Credit the upsurge in hormone levels during pregnancy for those vibrant tresses!) Basic vitamin supplements can offer slight improvements in hair quality, but only if our body truly lacks the particular
"You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesnât get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,â Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.
You get 100% more benefits, eating coconuts, fresh young sliced coconuts.
The ONLY product I use on my hair is shampoo, or bottled water when I'm traveling. We have soft water, I haven't used conditioner since the 80's - 90's when I was dyeing & perming my hair.

Did you use Almond Oil or Coco Butter during pregnancy?
SHORTii O.
I'm 12 weeks and starting to get a small little bump:) and I really do not want stretch marks!!
My sister has horrible stretch marks from her first and only pregnancy, my mom did to (but she had 4 children). So I guess I'm doomed to get some D:.... Also my cousin is 6 months and has a very small stomach (I talking about like just a little gut looking thing!), but also got horrible stretch marks.
So i was wondering if anyone has used Almond Oil or any other type of treatments that worked? Or at least helped reduse stretch marks or the way they look... My auntie recomended Almond oil, althou she did get stretch marks they are hardly noticable.
I know it all depends on the person and how you take care of yourself but i just want to know how good this things are.
I'm natrually thin/thick and I'm also exercising and hoping I don't get any:(
Answer
Don't believe the "you cannot stop stretch marks" or "it's genetic". It's all about your diet and how you take care of yourself. Make sure you drink enough water, stay away from processed foods, and eat plenty of fat (butter, yogurt, eggs, beef). I gained 50lbs during my pregnancy and did not have one stretch mark. I bought coconut oil to cook with and also applied it to my belly after the shower. It's $20 for a huge container of organic virgin coconut oil, and is worth the investment. I would swallow a little chunk every now and again as the health benefits are incredible. It's also a lot cheaper, and safer, than those "lotions". COCONUT OIL!!!
