Does coconut oil help hair grow?
Usage of coconut oil on hair depends on hair type. In persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of hair follicles which causes hair loss. In persons with dry or flaky hair/ scalp, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the hair.

Can hair grow back?
Hair always grow according to its growth cycle but the total transition to old normal hair depends on the cause of hair loss. If hair loss is secondary to genetics then re-growth is doubtful unless a medical intervention is done. Hair loss secondary to infection, nutritional deficiency and damage may regrow once the cause is taken care.
