Not just for men, but for women. In coconut consuming countries (such as

the Philippines) coconut oil is traditionally used for a hot oil treatment

for hair in salons. The oil is massaged in, you spend some time with it on,

and eventually the hair is rinsed, and becomes thicker and shinier as a

result of repeated treatment. Shiny not as a result of oiliness - but

silkier, more lustrous. Think long, straight, black hair such as that of

asian women - not sure what the effect would be on blonde hair :-)

Even before salons were invented this was a common practice for hundreds of

years.

This is not as unusual as it may sound - there coconut oil is found in

soaps, conditioners, and shampoos after all.

Coconut oil is also great as a massage oil for thai-style massages (the

works, with the incense and everything). The oil used is either in its

natural state (coconut aroma) or scented with citrus or some flower

essence. Great stress buster.

I read about 30 years ago in a book about natural beauty secrets that

coconut oil helped hair growth. Not sure if it's true, but it's cheap

enough to be worth a try. If nothing else, it will make bald skin

look nicer!

Would drinking it (coconut oil) do the same thing?

(You can tell I'm behind trying to catch up on my reading here.)
