You always focus on the pros and cons of each her/ plan. If you ignore the cons long-term herbs will do more harm than good. For example, cloves have excellent anti-bacterial properties.
Coconut oil is made by cold pressing fresh coconut meat to release its natural oils known as Copro Oil. Organic coconut oil is best because it's unrefined. When this happens it still contains most of its health properties.
Coconut oil is fat and one of the healthiest fats in the world. It contains MCTs which are converted into ketones in the body. Ketones are the main source of brain cells and help to boost concentration and memory.
MCTs: MCTs are also a source of energy and may fight bacterial growth, help protect your heart, and aid in managing diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and autism. Foods containing MCT'S: coconut oil, palm kernel oil, butter, milk, yogurt and cheese.
Ketones: ketones (or ketone bodies) are an alternative fuel that is made in your liver when there is not enough glucose (sugar) for energy. When your body doesn't have enough sugar or glucose for energy, your body needs a new energy source. Your body will then switch to breaking down fat for energy.
When cooking most people use just regular vegetable oils. But Coconut oils have a higher smoke point of 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
Eating coconut oil regularly helps the body fight off infections by protecting the body from harmful microbes. Over 50% of coconut oil is Lauric acid which is a powerful substance that aids in fighting off pathogens like bacteria, yeast, and other viruses.
Energy: Medium chain triglycerides/(MTC)/ Helps to raise energy levels in the body. They are converted into ketones in the liver, not the scalp to serve as a fuel source between meals and workouts.
THE STUDY
Submerging hair in water for 1 hour in coconut oil created a barrier not allowing water in but won't leave also. It blocks the cuticle. The lauric acid helps to penetrate the hair shaft but once it is there, it binds to the protein (hair) and never leaves. This reduces the cuticle's ability to swell and unswell increasing the chances of chemical, heat, and mechanical damage. The cuticle/hair shaft is not meant to stay full, closed, and or sealed. Yes, it stops the hair shaft from getting hydral fatigue but it makes a host of new problems.
Here is the actual study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11413497/
To use: Eat, cook, if you see it on a product they have taken out the good properties already, leaving all the bad ones behind.
Coconut oil is great in the body but should never go in the hair. This is what coconut oil does within the hair shaft and on the scalp.
To detox the scalp and follicle try Olaplex 4C.

Thank you for this information. I didn't understand why my hair became brittle and dry every time I used it on my hair. I have been natural all my life and was looking for an alternative to grease which used to cause lots of itching. The knowledge you share in every single video and blog is deeply valued. Thank you also for doing what you do despite your health struggle which you have given a glimpse on in Your YouTube premiere. It's really touching to see the lengths you go to educate black women. Thank you once again. You are truly an inspiration.
