What I use:
Carrington Farms 100% Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Vitamin E gel capsules
I make 1/4 a cup with 6-8 gel from vitamin e capsules. It does wonders for my skin.

I put it on dry hair, over night. It stays in for approx 15-16 hours because when I wake up I don't shower till after grandma gets up because it will wake her up since it's right beside her bedroom. I have been using it on my skin and hair everynight for the past 7-8 months. As of the past 2 months, I have began to notice small strands of hair getting stuck to my fingers after applying the oil to my hair. I thought nothing of it at first as it didn't show a big impact on my scalp. Then a week later of still using it, I have bald spots and where those bald spots are, it is very tender. It makes me sleepy all day long. Now, my hair is thinning all over!
Could this be the cause? It's have to be. My boyfriend uses it too, it's happening to him. We always use at night. And his stays in a lot longer than mine because he doesn't shower until the evening (like 4-5 pm), after his workouts.

I uploaded a photo of the worst spot. My hair is wet. I also have balding on the sides and the crown. I have also noticed it at my hairline too.
