Is virgin coconut oil good for your skin and hair?

ginabobina

Will it clog pores, and does it even get absorbed? Benefits short term and long term would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer
Coconut oil is great for hair! I use it in my hair everyday! I don't know if it works on skin though because I don't use it on my skin. Coconut oil will get absorbed in your hair, and it will also penetrate your hair shaft. I use Organix Coconut products. The Organix Coconut products smell amazing and they work outstanding on my naturally wavy hair. I've even been told that my hair looks longer. Here is the link. http://beautypureandsimple.com/coconutmilk.asp

I also use the Proclaim Coconut Hair oil from Sally's. http://www.sallybeauty.com/Coconut-Oil-Conditioner/PROCLM24,default,pd.html

Will coconut oil benefit me as almond oil? Will it reduce dark bags under eyes?

Smart101

I heard a lot of benefits for both of these oils but right now I only have coconut oil handy. Will it do the same miracle as the almond oil if I massage it under my dark circles for 14 days? I was just wondering since I don't want it to become worse or if it will actually work. Thanks!

Answer
Another waste of money, it is a billion dollar business the beauty industry.

Not possible without wearing tons of make up. Even Oprah & Hilary Clinton who buys the best concealers money can buy can't cover theirs. Don't believe me? Google them and see their latest photos.
Jane Fonda had surgery done, admitted she hated surgeries, but that's ONE she actually had done.

You CAN try to sleep the same amount of hours everyday, and eat all the healthy foods from Mother Nature.

It's possible changing your sleep & diet can do miracles.

I have naturally fast growing hair, will it be messed up if I use things that are known to speed hair growth?

Syke

I like to use coconut oil on my hair, and I like to massage my scalp, which I have only done recently these past 3 months. But scalp massages and coconut oil are said to help hair grow faster, but my hair naturally grows fast. Should I stop using these methods so my hair doesn't become dependent on it and loose its natural speed of growth? Or will my growth patter sty the same no matter what. Because if it stays the same ill be happy.
