A member asked:
Does olive oil extra virgin and pure coconut oil penetrate hair shaft? are these oils even worth it to condition & strengthen hair/scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Oils do indeed penetrate the skin. Many things penetrate the skin. Indeed, some say that you should not put anything on your skin you are not willing to eat or drink, including your makeup n rubbing alcoh. I do not know about conditioning and strengthening hair, but these oils will penetrate any skin, and coconut oil is good for you--even as a lotion for your skin. wwwlblatmanhealthandwellness.com
