This may be long, so indulge me if you care to read...
For maybe the past 10 or so years I have utilized the Eat Right for Your Type plan for improving my diet. It's the premise that certain foods are compatible with your blood type and some are not. I have Type B blood and adjusted my diet accordingly with excellent results.
So I have had some noticeable shedding lately. Now I did BKT a few months ago, but before I did, it's only in the last year or two I have been using coconut oil based on the benefits of how it is supposed to retain protein in the hair. Indians use coconut oil and we know what their hair is like...
But here's the catch -- according to the plan, coconut oil is not compatible with my blood. So now with the recent shedding, the premise follows, is it bad for my hair and scalp, and even skin (with the coconut-based castile soaps I use)? Maybe ingesting versus applying is the difference.
So what oil is supposed to be "Beneficial" for me? Olive oil. Also walnut, maybe macadamia. So I am going on an olive oil challenge with liquid olive oil soap for shampoo, and olive oil to see if my hair will bounce back. I like how it has been feeling already.
This is just a trial, because the shedding may not even be coconut based. It could be the BKT, or the fact that the body transitions every seven years, or the hard water, who knows. So we shall see. I will try to remember to report back in 3 mos.
No one has to join me in this of course, I just posted it for good reading. Believing for the best!
