When your hair feels dry after using coconut oil it's because the coconut oil penetrates too deep into your hairs shaft.
As a result the coconut oil blocks out moisture from being absorbed by the hair strands and this is more common when you have hair with high porosity.
This can also leave the hair feeling dry and even brittle even though coconut oil can also moisturize hair and skin.
The most common reason for hair to fall out when you put coconut oil in it is because you used too much coconut oil.
Using too much coconut oil on your hair can cause your hair follicles to clog and cause a buildup which prevents new hair growth.
As a result this can cause any existing hair to fall out more easily.
This is even more of a problem if you have fine hair or hair that is already oily as the oil can weigh down the strands of your hair and make the strands of hair appear to fall more readily.
Coconut oil can penetrate deep into your hair shaft and can sometimes disrupt your hair's natural structure and weaken it.
This can lead to breakage and hair loss if used too much.
Applying too much coconut oil to your hair can block your hair's follicles and prevent new hair growth and cause any existing hair to fall out.
And if you don't wash out the coconut oil thoroughly it can also leave a residue buildup on the scalp and cause potential hair loss.
Coconut oil can be good for your hair although it's not suitable for everyone's hair type and especially if you have fine or oily hair.
This is because the coconut oil can add too much weight and lead to and cause hair loss.
Only apply a small amount of coconut oil to your hair and focus on the mid lengths and ends of your hair and avoid your scalp entirely if you suspect or are having any hair loss.
And make sure that you shampoo the hair thoroughly after using the coconut oil to remove any residue that is leftover.
