Brilio.net - As we age, many people experience hair thinning as part of the natural aging process. One of the main causes of hair thinning in old age is a decrease in the production of hormones that play an important role in hair growth, such as estrogen and testosterone.
These hormones help maintain a healthy hair growth cycle and a decrease in them can result in hair becoming thinner and more brittle. In addition, hair follicles can shrink and become less active over time, resulting in thinner, slower-growing hair.
Genetic factors also play a big role in hair thinning as we age. If there is a family history of baldness or hair thinning, the risk of experiencing the same condition will be higher. However, this is not the case with the beautiful celebrity Rieke Diah Pitaloka, who is now entering her half-century .
The reason is, the Oneng actor in the sitcom Bajaj Bajuri has his own secret to maintain his hair so that it remains thick at the age of 50. Through a recent upload on his personal TikTok, he revealed that he only uses VCO or Virgin Coconut Oil to care for his hair.

First, comb your hair until it is completely tangle-free. After that, divide your hair into two parts. Pour VCO on your hands, then apply it to the ends of your hair and spread it evenly over your entire hair. Next, roll your hair and wrap it in a towel. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Then, rinse using your favorite shampoo and conditioner. Do it routinely 1-2 times a week to get optimal results. Not only that, you can also apply VCO as an overnight hair mask. That is by applying VCO to the ends of the hair only and leaving it overnight. You can use it every day to get thick, soft, and gray-free hair even at the age of 50 like Rieke.

Ingredients and benefits of VCO to thicken hair.
VCO is rich in fatty acids, such as lauric acid which has high penetration ability into the hair shaft and follicles. Lauric acid helps hydrate hair from within, repair moisture, thicken hair, and reduce damage caused by dryness and environmental exposure. When used regularly as a hair mask or oil, VCO can help reduce hair loss and improve overall hair texture and strength.
