Would coconut shampoo & conditioner help?
I have dry and damaged hair my hair is now only shoulder length i use to get bleached blonde highlights but I've let them grow out but I want my hair to start growing again i use argan oil every other day after I've washed it. I use to straighten my hair everyday but I only straighten it on occasions but i do blow dry my hair after washing (I can't stand wet hair)
Everyone is telling me that coconut oil will help my hair condition and growth? But will coconut shampoo & conditioner work instead?
Thanks

Nope!
Good hair care does! A good diet does, too! Who is telling you? Someone trying to sell your products? I've had 5 decades of great hair savvy, previously dyed & permed in the 80's & 90's and have been giving advice for 13 years.
Hair products are NOT made of glue to fix, prevent, reverse hair from getting damaged, or hair loss, or make them grow . . . . they are a trillion dollar business. They also do NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss caused by heat & chemicals - hair's worst enemies. • Hair products may claim one or more benefits, but usually they do not have scientific base.
"No hair product can change the hair's biology," says Eric Bone, senior VP of global research and innovation @ L'Oreal USA. "Products that 'repair' them are like glue used to put a broken vase back together. At the end of the day, it's still broke," says dermatologist Paul J. McAndrews, MD, a clinical professor @ the University of Southern California School of Medicine. "Overall, products are a temporary fix, although some can help prevent damage. But your best bet is really to stop damaging hair, period."
Example 1: "Hello, my hair is bleached and I've colored it alot in the past.
I haven't retouched my bleached hair in a month or two and my hair is Constantly breaking off!!! I'm losing SOOO much hair!!! Especially in the middle of my hairline
Ive been using Moroccan oil conditioner, olive oil masks and my hair is still breaking off! PLEASE HELP ME."
Heat & chemicals = hair's worst enemies, for as long as those are present in your hair, healing doesn't start there.
