From what I know about human hair there's a chance that coconut oil may actually make you (or a dog) shed. It's fantastic for dry skin on hands, feet, knees and elbows but I wouldn't put it on my scalp for that reason. It does work well on the ends of the hair though. For a persons (or dog's) scalp you could try a lighter oil like olive, avocado, grapeseed or apricot. I'm vegan so I don't partake in this but I know a lot of people use an egg or egg white mixture on their face and hair. The reason why Mayo (ewww) works so well as a conditioner is because it's made up of oil and egg. |
