Emu oil vs Coconut oil

Do they have the same effects or are there differences when it comes hair loss?

I tried coconut oil on my scalp and it just irritated it. Emu oil wasn't like that at all. It actually makes my skin and hair soft.

Oh ok thanks for the input

I can confirm the same. Coconut oil somehow irritated my scalp, it gave me "hair pain" which I interpret as inflammation.

Emu oil on the other side, doesn't bother me at all and seems that it's antiinflammatory action is working on me and . I just started a few days ago, missing only a few times applying it. It's also reducing flaking quite well, almost to the point I barely feel it.

Another good point of Emo Oil is that it has research related to hair growth in contrast with coconut oil AFAIK.

Coconut oil is recommended in traditional Indian medicine as a hair loss treatment (there's a seperate thread about that). I believe there are also a few testimonials on iHerb.com about the beneficial effects of this for skin and hair. I'm surprised it caused irritation for you.

I tried emu oil a while back and it seemed to give me a hair growth spurt but this didn't last long. I've heard quite a few good reviews about the stuff though. Laurent Pickart (created Folligen) has a high opinion of it.

Hey guys thanks for the input. I actually started using coconut oil about three days ago. I gotta that i have not experienced any type of irritation thus far. I actually enjoy and the feeling it gives my hair. I replaced it with my olive oil hair lotion oil to style my hair and condition my scalp.
