Some known benefits of Coconut Oil is that it thickens hair, it tames the frizz of hair, provides moisture to hair thus protecting from outside troubles. It has also been known that it stimulates hair growth if used in its pure form, which is Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. If you use the processed one then you won't see the same results or you might not see any results.

Why Use Coconut Oil for Hair? And Why it Thickens Your Hair!

Coconut oil is the richest natural source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), special types of fatty acid with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that are very nourishing to the body. It is especially high in the C12 chain of MCFAs known as Lauric Acid. Lauric acid is naturally occurring in breastmilk as well and is supportive of hormone health and cellular health. This beneficial property of coconut oil is also one of the reasons it can help prevent protein loss in Hair and hair growth requires proteins which is stimulated and provided in a good way possible by Coconut Oil.
Coconut oil's penetrates hair follicles in depths that other oils are not able to, which is why some people notice amazing results relatively quickly when using coconut oil for Hair. This penetration of Coconut Oil helps moisturise hair from the last part of hair shaft and also provides added care to all the Hair follicles. But you shouldn't use it without getting an advice from a doctor. Some researches have also shown that it might not be effective or even lead to side effects if used wrongly or if coconut oil doesn't suit you!

Why it doesn't work for some Hair Types!

Different types of hair respond to oils differently and coconut oil may not work for every hair type. Because it helps the hair retain its natural protein, it can be helpful for those who lack enough natural protein in hair follicles. Researches have confirmed coconut oil's benefits for certain types of hair, but it isn't for everyone! Those with fine to medium shiny hair will see good results from coconut oil and notice stronger, shinier hair with more volume. Those with coarse or dry hair may not struggle with low protein at all and coconut oil may lead to more brittle hair and hair loss. And a study of 30 people with different Hair Types confirmed this. When Coconut Oil was used over a period of 6 weeks, those with Low Protein for Hair Regrowth found good results with Coconut Oil, but those with Good and Ample Protein in Hair found their Hair loss had increased!
