Coconut oil is a "special oil" for hair.

oil stories — coconut

The oil that has protected hair
in hot climates

In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine, there is "oil wisdom" that has been refined over 5000 years. While sesame oil is central as a "warming oil," coconut oil is its exact opposite—it has been treated as a "cooling" oil, one that soothes heat. It is an indispensable item that has supported daily hair and scalp care in South India and Sri Lanka, where the sun is strong.


Furthermore, coconut oil is an oil for which interesting reports from a scientific perspective regarding hair care have accumulated. This is a story about oil that might change your world a little.

Coconut in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, oils themselves are believed to have specific properties.

Coconut oil is considered "cooling"—an oil that gently balances heat and hot flashes. In hot climates prone to overheating, its excellent balance of not overcooling the body while soothing excessive heat was highly valued.

In the concept of understanding body types through three energies (doshas), it has traditionally been positioned as an ingredient that calms "Pitta," which has heating properties. That is why, for centuries, cooling coconut oil has been chosen for scalp care in areas prone to dryness and heat.

Modern science's view of coconut oil and hair

Coconut oil has frequently been the subject of research in terms of hair care.

In a well-known experiment comparing several oils, differences were reported in indicators related to hair damage when coconut oil, sunflower oil, and mineral oil were tested.

The key is believed to be the molecular shape. Lauric acid, the main component of coconut oil, has a relatively small and straight shape. For this reason, unlike other oils that only coat the surface, it has been thought to easily penetrate into the hair's interior.

The oil absorbed inside the hair gently reduces the swelling of hair when it absorbs water, and lessens the burden during washing. Experiments have also reported a significant reduction in protein leaking from damaged hair under certain conditions.

(This is an example of an experiment using oil and does not indicate the effects of the product.)

"Apply, leave on, then wash" - known for 5000 years

This is where it gets most interesting.

That experiment also taught us this: coconut oil is more effective when applied *before* shampoo, left on for a while, and then washed off, rather than *after*.

This is precisely the Ayurvedic method. Applying oil to the hair and scalp, leaving it on for a period, and then washing it off—it aligns perfectly with the practice of "oil packing" that has continued for thousands of years in India.

Without knowing the reasons or mechanisms, they arrived at the sequence of "apply, leave on, then wash" purely through experience. And now, modern laboratories, 5000 years later, have confirmed, "that order is correct." It's a story that reveals the profound power of traditional wisdom.

Science, 5000 years later, has caught up
to what experience had already discovered.

The soothing oil, coconut. It has protected hair in hot climates, and modern research has gently confirmed the "apply, leave on, then wash" method, which was discovered purely through experience. The next time you pick up coconut oil, try to remember its depth, just a little.

Please try our scalp and hair oil, which has coconut oil as its main ingredient.

Handling Precautions Natural coconut oil solidifies below 20°C, so it will harden in autumn and winter. Please warm it in a hot water bath or at body temperature, as it will quickly return to liquid.
