  1. 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.

  2. @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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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. 🙂

  5. HI,

    1. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. ) 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.

  17. 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

  18. 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!

  19. 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.

  20. 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?

  21. 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!!

  22. 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

  23. 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!

  24. I have been applying coconut oil on my scalp. But it is making it itch. Coconut oil should not produce itching. Can somebody please help me out. I use homemade coconut oil. thanks.

    1. Hi Rahul, I have been using Virgin coconut Oil and have experienced a whole lot of benefits. it should not give you ichiness, so use VCO, apply little amount at a time, allow skin to soak it and repeat application by means of soft massage on sculp or skin daily after bath. Try to avoid using copra oil.

  25. When my friend at work recommended Shielo Volumizing Shampoo and I tried it – I was sold on it. I

    Here’s about me: I have used some of the best volumizers in the past. I used stay at home a many of days very upset with my flat, lifeless hair. I would see other girls and they had the most beautiful head of hair. I tried all the mousse, gel, spritz, you name it – I have probably used it.

    Not now though, Shielo Volume Shampoo made my hair is so full and shiny. I can just blow dry a litttle and go. All day lasting fullness. I tell all my friends about it, and even went as far as to give it in gift bags for the women in my family for this past christmas. I was put off at the price at first, but a little tiny drop makes your whole hair later – and its last longer than the cheaper bottles i used to buy…way worth it!

  26. coconut oil doesn’t work for insect bites especially mosquitoes i travel to the Caribbean 3 times a year and on 1 of my travels i decided to try the vco on my skin as an insect repellent… i was EATEN ALIVE! this myth is right up there with consuming b vitamins to protect you from mosquitoes…. that also doesn’t work!

    but on a plus side VCO especially Nutiva smells delicious, makes my hair grow and my skin looks and SMELL delicious.

  28. hi, im suffering from hair lost and dry hair so i was thinking of trying virgin coconut oil. The oil that i have is the liquid form in a bottle. I’ve read some articles that some VCO treatments starts with warming the bottle in warm water before applying. do u warm it first? and if so, will it affect the quality of oil if you warm the bottle every time you want to use it? hope u can apply..thank you.
