My friend applies coconut oil once a week. Why is that?
And I heard that it is good for hair. In what way?What benefits does *Coconut oil* do to hair?
I have heard from my grandma that applying coconut oil for hair makes it firm and healthy and one of my friends said that it acts as a protection from sun by reflecting off sun's light which could damage the hair a lot.What benefits does *Coconut oil* do to hair?
DEPENDS ON WAT TYPE OF HAIR TXTURE U HAVE! im african amer. and i use it everyday because i have natural hair which makes it dry. i use coconut oil to nourish it, its for the luster for the hair and oil for the scalp. and omg it smells sooooo good to me i dont know why it would stink unless u r using the unrefined kinds that have no fragrance. but coconut oil really should only be used if u have problems with dry itchy scalp, it even works for dandruff! ps sorry for writing in all caps at the begining, i didnt know that was bad etiquette! =-(
hmm.. well comming from a south asian back ground i always grew up.. .with relatives and family and friends pleading for me to put coconut oil in my hair... but eww i dnt like the smell of it... but i hear that keeps the hair thick, strong and silky... oh and aprently if u put coconut oil in ur hair and put it into a plait... ur hair grows faster... and its actually true.. i did it... well by force and it grew.. long and silky... but ye i dnt like the smell...

try one of those international markets or in a big shopping center go to the area of baking goods and you should see them i am not sure but they should average around $2.49 it depends on both the area and the size of the bottle

Is 100% coconut oil safe for use on a pregnant woman?
I have read that pregnant woman should avoid using essential oils, but I'm not quite sure why or what they are. Anyone know? And is 100% coconut oil considered an essential oil and therefore to be avoided as well? Thanks!Is 100% coconut oil safe for use on a pregnant woman?
It's a carrier oil, unless you're allergic it's fine. Good for eating too, I cook in it.
Some essential oils are potent medicines and can cause reactions in the body, including miscarriage, hormone changes, heart or circulation changes, preterm labor, and so on. Some are safe and recommended though, including geranium, tangerine, neroli, and some others, all well diluted of course, just a drop or two in a lot of a carrier oil for massage, or used in a diffuser to scent a room. If you use anything in the bath you have to stir the oil into milk before adding to the water. Talk to an herbalist or aromatherapist perhaps.Is 100% coconut oil safe for use on a pregnant woman?
Here is a website that explains eveything on why you shouldn't use on pregnant women and how to use them correctly . You might be able to use it in a bath but read this and it will tell you .
Good luck and congrats

Can I substitute olive oil or coconut oil for 'cooking oil' in cake batter?
Didnt realize that I was out of cooking oil...its late here and I have to bake a cake to drop off at church in the morning!
All I have is pure olive oil and coconut oil! Help!
(its a box of cake mix, if that matters....)Can I substitute olive oil or coconut oil for 'cooking oil' in cake batter?
The olive oil would taste pretty odd, but the coconut oil would work, and you'd just use the same amount.
If you have applesauce on hand, you could use that instead too, and it would be lower in fat!Can I substitute olive oil or coconut oil for 'cooking oil' in cake batter?
Either will work, but the olive oil may not taste right. We cook with coconut oil all the time. Good stuff.
No they are both strong flavored oil, not for baking.
just use a stick of melted butter totally delish! i promise !!!! don't be scared !:):)
Perhaps the coconut oil, but not the olive, as it will affect the taste
Olive oil would probably be better (you dont say if it is extra virgin, cold pressed, etc.) The more refined the oil (olive) the higher the temperature tolerance, ie. Cold pressed extra virgin is more suited to salads whereas light or pure (which is what you have) olive oil should be fine! The coconut oil might be ok but I personally have not cooked with it so cannot vouch for it. The flavour might be too strong and I dont think it has the same heat tolerance....

good when applied on the hair as a conditioner.What are the health benefits and detriments of coconut oil?
The coconut, d seed of a palm tree, yields numerous food n non food products. The oil is used in vegetable shortening, non diary creamers, sme spreads, n many commercial baked goods; it is also an ingredient in shampoos, moisturizing skin lotions, soaps, and various cometics. The creamy coconut meat that lines d interior of d nut's hard outer shell is eaten raw or used to flavour ice cream, confectionery products, and baked goods. Coconut milk, d ssweet white fluid from d heart of d nut, is served as a beverage or used as a marinade. It contains virtually no fat.
Dried coconut meat, or copra, is rich in oil. In fact, more than 90% of d fatty acids in coconuts r classified as saturated; remarkably, coconut oil is more highly saturated than d fat in butter or red meat. This high level f saturation results in an oil that resists turning rancid, making coconut oil ideal for commercial baking. However, it is also a major drawback; saturated fats tend to raise blood cholesterol levels. In light of this, people who hav elevated cholesterol levels or any other cardiovascular risk factors are typically advised 2 avoid products made wirh coconut oil.
On d plus side, d fatty acids are easy 2 digest, n a half cup of coconut meat has about 1 mg of iron and a fair amount of fiber.
Coconut hair oil is one of d best oil 2 b used 4 hairs.
It makes hairs shiney, healthy, thick, black n strong.....
I hav observed 1 more thing in coconut hair oil that it resists shedding of hairs, preventing hair loss!!!.....
Thank u!...What is the best DVR DVD

Is coconut oil actually good for your hair?
Or is that just a myth?Is coconut oil actually good for your hair?
Omg its sooo good, it thickens it. If you want thicker hair then you can just use coconut oil and massage your hair with it and leave it for an hour with the oil, then wash it out. But trust me it does much more than just thicken it. Its better than conditioner so you can just use coconut oil before you take a shower and its like conditioner so you dont actually have to use conditioner. But it is really good to make it thicker, shinier, softer, and just all the things conditioner does only more.Is coconut oil actually good for your hair?
I don't see why it wouldn't be..
It's important to keep the good oils in your hair
It's really good. Have been using it for years.

Will coconut oil help me lose weight or pack on the fat?
Okay i know that i have to eat well and exercise to lose weight(As i have been doing.)But my co-worker swears that coconut oil is a ''miracle worker'' and can enhance my weight loss efforts.Do i need to take her advice?Will coconut oil help me lose weight or pack on the fat?
I have heard that it is better for you than olive oil b/c of the way it breaks down in the body.
RNWill coconut oil help me lose weight or pack on the fat?
it works better then olive oil so u should try that
Too much of it will add pounds
interesting question let me know if that works
ewww, no!
Coconut oil is SATURATED fat. the artery clogging stuff. you will put yourself at risk for heart attacks and strokes if you consume too much of it.
olive oil is a monounsaturated fat--the type of fat that is good for you.
avocado oil is another monounsaturated fat.
