Hi
1) Heating loses most of the properties of oil .
2) Coconut oil consists of fatty acids that helps in growth of hair
3)Hot water is not good for hair follicles, it leads to hair loss .
4) Regular use of hair dryer also damages hair follicles .

Hello!
If you want to apply coconut oil just make it warm. Do not make it very hot. The temperature of the warmth should be like just lukewarm temperature (around 36 - 40 degree C) not more than that. Actually if you massage your scalp with warm coconut oil it gets absorbed easily thereby stimulating the roots of your hair.Coconut oil moisturises your scalp well hence the growth of your hair is also very good.Keep your scalp clean and shampoo your hair at least twice a week.Dirty scalp clogs the pores of your hair follicles and hence also lead to hair fall. Therefore it is also very important to keep your scalp clean. Along with applying coconut oil tropically, focus on your daily nutrition also. You should have a sufficient amount of protein and biotin intake to have a good and dense hair line and scalp
