The Wonders of Virgin Coconut Oil on Hair Growth
Remember my entry on Virgin Coconut Oil and Falling Hair? That was six months ago when folically-challenged me was at wits end trying to stop my hair from thinning out. I suffered from thinning hair since I was 42 years old and the cause is probably unhealthy scalp aggravated by dandruff. I was already thinking of buying a wig on the event that the bald spot gets more obvious. Today, I am happy to say to the blogosphere and the world, that my hair has more growth, is thicker and healthier. Hah, I sound like a shampoo commercial. *sways hair left and right* It looks like I have layered hair when in fact that’s the new hair growing. I attribute my luscious hair growth to the twice a week coconut oil massage on my scalp which in turn stimulates the hair follicles. Even my hairdresser noticed my new hair growth. Enough of those expensive hair regrowth tonic or hair spa !
I prodded my husband to massage virgin coconut oil into his scalp 5 months ago. for months, I noticed my husband’s pink scalp gleaming underneath his thinning white hair.
Sooner or later, you could get bald, I told him.
Not only am I happy to note I have thicker hair today, but I also noticed something odd with my husband’s hair. True, he has thicker hair but….
A growth of black hair emerges
part of his white hair has now a patch of black hair which was never there before (see the black hair in between the red arrow)
“hey you are revealing my secret!” he teases me as I take a snap.
His officemates notice the black patch of hair and has dubbed it the “racoon hair”
Could it be due to the coconut oil? Who knows? Maybe the dead hair follicles got stimulated, and nourished that it resurrected black hair?
The wonders of the coconut oil. After all, it came from the tree of life.

Oh Noemi, I’m such a VCO believer! I drink 2 tablespoons a day and massage it on my hair and body and face every evening. It really did help my hair a lot because my hair was falling out everytime I had it rebonded. Would you believe, it also removed some warts from my body. I just applied it frequently and it just dried and fell out. Normally, I would have gone to the derma and pay for an expensive cauterization. Have you read Coconut Cures by Bruce Fife? It’s a great read. I always panic whenever my supply of VCO runs out. Everytime someone comes here from the Philippines, my first bilin is always VCO.
I, too, attest to the healing power of VCO!!!!
@toe- I forgot to add that my husband applies coconut oil on his face. His complexion is so much finer and healthier. He even looks younger
@Eric- and we have to buy those stupid expensive products.
i’ve been hearing a lot of raves for the wonderful effects of VCO, but this is the first time I’ve heard of its effect on hair growth and warts. wow!i must try that too, instead of heading for the derma. thanks!
Wow, does this stuff really work? I sound like a bad actor in a commercial. hehe. Anyway, I’ve got thinning hair myself, I hate to admit it. People have even recommended that I buy horse shampoo like some Pinoy stars supposedly do. I’ll have to look into this.
Well I am very skeptical about this product …I used to take cvo every day for 1 year and it made me loose a lot of my hair
HI,
You mentioned that u applied the vco twice a week. Pls tell me how to apply before shampoo or after? To be left on the scalp for how long? I’m interested to grow my thinning hair too. Pls advise thanks!
Libra

I was wondering how to use the VCO for hairloss. Do you put in on after or before shampooing and how do you apply? Thank-you in advance. Also where can you buy it?

joannas last blog post..Sister of my heart
Joanna I totally understand your problem because I had the same problem. It’s been 2 months I am using coconut oil on my scalp almost daily.
I will wirte a post on my blog about my experience with coconut oil and my hair treatment. It works. Try it and don’t be discouraged. I had big patches and my scalp was clear especially on top and on one side. Now, it is becoming fuller.
could you please help me, in what manner should the VCO be applied on the scalp? should I shampoo first before applying or after shampooing?should I leave it and let dry for a while after application? your response would be very much appreciated! thank you…
I love the effect coconut oil with my hair too! I have been applying coconut oil to my scalp for about 2 months and noticed my hair is growing. I have thin air and the change is obvious. I hope to see fuller and thicker hair soon.

hi mam noemi,
my name is mel. i have read some of the items in your “A Filipina Mom Blogger”. i was looking for information about virgin coconut oil. you see, in one of the books i’ve come across with, i learned that vco is helpful for cancer patients. i don’t know if i have breast cancer.i still have to take a mammogram test next week. i bought a TheraHerb VCO. is this a real vco? is this the one that you and the other bloggers in your site are talking about? if this is not the one, please tell me what vco you are using. this is really very important for me.
please help me.
GOD BLESS.
) Coconut oil nourishes the hair from the roots to ensure healthy growth. It has a cooling effect on the scalp and is an excellent conditioner. Infact it should always be used before shampooing hair, it will work as a pre-conditioner.
2) Regular use of coconut oil strengthens hair, thereby controlling hair fall. It makes the hair soft and gives it a healthy shine.
3) It also helps in treating dandruff, coconut water is also known to be beneficial in hair care. It can be mixed with the shampoo or conditioner for healthy and beautiful hair.
How many times a week do you apply the coconut oil to your scalp before shampooing? Do you apply it every time you shampoo or maybe twice a week?
yes, its great. My hair is growing too.. VCO.. you see the Indians have good hair, the south indians especially.. due to coconut oil.. they are rarely bald…
use it… its great
hi, gusto ko lng malaman kong ilang minutes bago banlawan ang buhok pag nilagyan ng vco? tnx
Smart post. Would you like to provide some content for my site. I will email you.
I LOVE this stuff! I use coconut oil every single night. I wet my hair and towel dry it. I massage the oil into my scalp for about 5 minutes and then add it to the rest of my hair (coat it really good) then I put a plastic cap on and leave it on until I get ready for bed (usually about 2 – 4 hours) I rinse it out (do NOT shampoo) then let my hair air dry. In the morning I rinse again and towell dry, then I add a small amount on my palms and massage into the ends of my hair, dry, curl and go. If my hair seems to go limp (too much oil in the scalp area) I will use a natural soap, like Dr. Bonners to wash it out. Then I reapply a small amount of the coconut oil to the ends. I hardly ever use soap on my hair. I have a couple of different jars of the Virgin Coconut Oil…one is just plain old oil and the other I have added several drops of Tea Tree Oil for the winter months as I get a really itchy scalp in the winter. My hair is soft and silky and at 40 years old who could ask for more?
I am caucasion with blonde hair and I color it regularly.
Oh and one more thing…I add the melted coconut oil to all my lotions and shake them up really good. It is so luxurious and my skin has never felt better! Coconut oil is the all around wonder product for me and I HIGHLY recommend it!
Where can I purchase VCO?
Coconut Oil is an amazing product to use. Not only for beauty, but as a cooking agent as well. The medium and short chain fatty acids are directly used as energy (when taken internally), rather than being stored as fat. So if you are looking to lose weight, but don’t want to stop cooking with oil, try coconut oil.
Also a note: Whenever you use coconut oil, always make sure it is organic, and extra-virgin. This will eliminate your chance of taking in pesticides or chemicals in your body.
Does anyone know wich brand I should choose???
I wanna buy it but I’ve heard you shouldn’t buy the extra-virgin..
Quote: ” Virgin v. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Don’t be mislead by the term “extra virgin” when used in conjunction with coconut oil. This term is borrowed from the olive oil industry and there is no such product or existing standard that can be applied to coconut oil production. If you see the term “extra virgin” be assured that it is simply a marketing ploy to encourage you to believe that the oil has something more to offer than virgin coconut oil. ”
Can anyone help me pls?
On Amazon dot com -Nutiva brand. God bless!
I woke up with itchy red eyes (sore eyes), on the first day of the year, new year; we had VCO, but I didn’t think that it could cure my problem. I’ve read a lot about VCO as a sort having “antibacterial” properties; so, I dropped some into my eyes, and since I was still a bit sleepy; I dozed off for a while, for an hour; and then, VOILA! WHEN I WOKE UP, NO MORE ITCHY RED EYES.
Another story:
A stray cat gave birth on my backyard; I didn’t want them there, so, I decided that I’ll make them go away when the kittens are big enough to fend for themselves, so it meant that I would have these ‘unwanted guests’ for a while. This scenario invited heaps of fleece (spelt wrong, I guess). Everytime, I’d passed by backyard; I would be bitten by these insects; thus, leaving my legs sore with annoying un-ending itchiness; so, I tried VCO, I would just them off every now and then;and as usual, IT WORKED. The funny thing is; I had a wart that I’ve suspected as cancerous for a long time; since it’s around the area where I got those insect bites; it had been wiped with VCO too; IT TORED OFF A FEW DAYS LATER. SO, I THOUGHT ‘WOW, WAS I RIGHT ALL ALONG?..’
Another story:
Lately, H1VH1 FEVER is gaining unpopularity and I thought I might get it. Then, a week ago, I felt some symptoms of an upcoming fever; I didn’t do anything as I wasn’t sure, but when I wojke up in the morning, I was hot and shivering, I HAD FEVER; so, I took VCO again, but this time, I had to drink it, lots of it, about the 6 spoons of it in for one time; SURE ENOUGH, I GOT CURED…IN 15 MIN… I went to the gym in the evening of the same day.
On baldness:
YES , I WAS GETTING BALD; BUT NOW, I THINK MY HAIR IS ON ITS WAY TO LOOKING LIKE THE WAY IT WAS WHEN I WAS 25 YEARS OLD; I’M 41…=)
VIVA! VCO OIL!
THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS MIRACLE OIL!!
very interedted to join
Hi there, I have had thining hair for the past few years now, I started to apply VCO on my sculp every night after shower and wash it off with just water in the morning, it soaks in, leaves my hair stronger and healthy, now the thinking has become less, but I believe with more use it whould stop. I can see slight new growth as well. I also drink one table spoon every morning and evening, it gives me an energy boost and immune boost. Always use the very clear VCO without any foul smell.
Regards
I just brought the VCO from GNC. Hopefully it works well for me.
hi .. isn’t truth?? i want to try it but i’am afraid to lose my hair . how to use it?? isn/t before shampoo or after ? pls answer me . thx
My hair in pubic area as turned grey, can some one help me in making it black.
Hi. Nice reading about your result with coconut oil. Strangely, I was looking for coconut oil at all the stores in my city ( Kota Kinabalu) but found none( He He ..I am 60, young at heart, and always positive at trying new things ).The natives here, especially the Kadazan-Murut-Dusun ladies use coconut oil daily. Many above sixty still have luxurient black hair, and its amazing. Log on to Sabah, Malaysia and you could see pictures of natives.
Have a wonderful and glorious life!
