Coconut oil is best ever for skin it's many advantages.

I cooked with it for years. These days I use stuff like canola, safflower and sunflower, but coconut oil is wonderful if you want to pay for it. Coconut oil is a lower calorie oil, as well.

I used it on my skin for years. It helped in the winter. I also used it when I applied medicated makeup for blemishes as a teen. It really helped with making it go on smooth without drying.

I should actually get some to help me through the winter. Brutal!

Coconut oil isn't expensive at all. At least I don't think so. Whole Foods 365 organic unrefined is only about $6 per jar. I put a tablespoon a day into a smoothie. And sometimes put it in moisturizers and other stuff and it lasts quite a while. It does get hard during the winter months, but is easily warmed and melted. It's great!

Hi,
I've heard that coconut oil is a good remedy for acne and is a good skin moisturizer, however, I haven't heard about its use for the hair loss treatment. Think it may be a good option, unfortunately I can't go with greasy hair and I don't want to wash my hair everyday.

You could just do it once a week and mix it with certain essential oils like this site suggests. You only leave it in for a while and wash it out. I may try this. I've just started putting rosemary oil in my argan oil. We'll see if that does anything soon.

As a Conditioner
To use it as a conditioner, apply coconut oil to your hair after you have taken a shower. Ensure that the hair is damp but not dripping wet. Take some amount in the hand, rub well and then start applying it evenly to the hair. Start with the wet ends. Then slowly work up the length of the hair applying progressively less amount as you reach the scalp. Apply very little to the roots to avoid the greasy look. It is important to use the correct amount of oil, as using too much of it will again cause the hair to appear oily instead of ensuring a conditioned look.

To Treat Dandruff
The moisturizing effect and antifungal properties help coconut oil to get rid of dandruff, irrespective of whether it is caused due to a dry scalp or any fungal infection. To treat dandruff, apply the oil all over your hair and scalp, and leave it for 8 to 10 hours. Hair can be oiled and left overnight for the coconut oil to penetrate within the inner layers of the hair. To remove any trace of oil, shampoo your hair the next morning.

Coconut Hot Oil Treatment
An effective way to nourish hair using coconut oil is to use the coconut hot oil treatment. For this, first oil your hair properly. Then wrap your hair in a towel that has been dipped in hot water or heated using a dryer. Keep the towel on till it becomes cold. Be careful that the towel is not so hot that it hurts the scalp. Continue this for 20 to 30 minutes. Reheat the towel as many times as required.

I've used it on my hair and results were amazing. It stops hair falling makes hair strong, thick and beautiful. Apply at least 4 days in a week preferably apply it at night and wash when you wake up in the morning.

Whether it helps in hair loss or not, is questionable and depends on what type of hair loss you are facing. It has nothing to do with hereditary hair loss and you won’t get any benefit for the same. However, coconut oil is one of the best natural treatments to boost hair growth. By penetrating the hair shaft, coconut oil protects against environmental impurities and excess heat. The loss of proteins usually leads to hair weakness and breakage. A daily massage with warm coconut oil will effectively improve scalp circulation and boost nutrient and oxygen delivery to your hair. But for best results, dermatologists suggest that you use only pure, refined and virgin coconut oil on your scalp for best results.

As a moisturizer the virgin, unprocessed oil is fantastic. Particularly if you use it before bed it tends to help and also not so greasy in the morning.
