Excellent post!

Another oil that is great for regrowing hair, and scalp health, is cold pressed castor oil.

From what I've read, unusual hair loss is often caused by clogged hair follicles, and by rubbing in castor oil, leaving it on for an hour or two, then washing it out of your hair, as you did with the coconut oil, it clears the hair follicles and stimulates new growth.

Castor oil is also reputed to gradually return greying hair to its natural color.

There are those that take it further, and I've read several times of making a pack with 1 Tbsp castor oil, 1 Tbsp raw honey and 1 raw egg yolks, mix well, then rub thoroughly into your scalp, and/or it also makes a great face pack.

Leave on for about an hour, preferably under a shower cap, and it is supposed to be amazing for your hair and skin. I have yet to try it, but I have everything on hand, so one of these days soon. ;-)

I'm with you in using coconut oil as an all over moisturizer. It's wonderful stuff. I typically add several essential oils, such as rosemary, lemon, lavender and cedarwood, which acts as a repellent for our many ticks and other biting insects.
