Im a teenager and have been reading alot that it isn't very good to be SUPER picky on calories during your teen years or it could hurt your growth. I want to model so I can have money for a horse. I read somewhere that if you have three tablespoons of coconut oil a day it can help you loose weight? Is this myth or truth? If its true I'll add it to my schedule, my mom loves coconut oil for her skin and for her cooking. So we have tons of it!
Answer
Your kiddin me right!!! Coconut oil. I have heard it is good for the hair..yeah...but for losing weight...haha that is downright a myth.
Coconut oil is all saturated fat. WHich is bad for you..period!!!
So If I were you I stop looking for shortcuts and stick to what works. That is the combination of a healthy diet and good exercise at least 4 to 5 times a week for 30min least. You wanna model you say. I assume that you are not fat to begin with then. SO why do you wanna lose weight. THe industry is changing in case if you have not heard. THey do not take in anorexic looking models no more. Paris was the first to start doing that and it is the fashion capital of the world.
You are growing like you said, so eat lots of fruits and vegetables and lean meats. That will not only improve your health but your complexion and radiance of your skin. GOod Luck on getting your horse!!

Answer
Your hair is virgin, bleached blonde hair NATURAL, it should ALREADY BE SHINY & healthy silky, shiny, soft & smooth LIKE MY HAIR. I do not put oil on my hair. My grandma used coconut oil on hers, only to prevent lice from getting in her head, in Asia, many people do, it's normal, but she makes her own oil Soft shiny hair comes from: Good genes. Good hair care. You get more benefits eating fresh coconuts, drink the juice that came with it, when you cracked open a coconut, but hair oil only last on your hair until you wash them off again.
Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS.
There are more hair oil on the shelf now, than 30-40 years ago, and it's because it is a billion dollar business! There are more hair loss now, too, than 30-40 years ago!
There are many hair oil brand out there, man-made oil, none is better than the other. It can very well even harm your hair, even causes hair loss, since you don't know exactly what kind of oil they say it is. In the lab, they add other ingredients that can prevent from spoiling.
Read the labels if they state that it contains like for fish oil supplements: "one or more of the following: Cod, English Whiting, Shark."
It does NOT make hair grow, it does not make hair thicker, it does help keep the hair moisturized, until you wash them again, that's about all it does, they're not glue to fix split ends, prevent, or reverse the damaged hair. Anything else they say on the label, it is to attract your attention. It is a billion dollar business and they do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Maharashtra is ready to go on record saying that most manufacturers in the Rs 3,000-crore Indian cosmetics industry are rampantly misleading consumers with tall claims. This affliction goes beyond hair oils. FDA has found that from face creams to soaps and other items of personal care, cosmetics companies are taking the general public for a ride. The industry, of course, sees the whole issue differently.
