Hair Oils

Aajonus explained that pressed oils, including olive oil, flax oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, and all nut and seed oils, are 90 percent or more solvent-reactive in the body and on the skin. The body converts them primarily into solvents to dissolve degenerative tissue, plaque, adhesions, dead cells, and oil-based toxins. They do not lubricate. They do not stabilize. They do not feed the nervous system. They do not soothe or calm. When applied to the skin or scalp, oil smothers the tissue, because the body is only 6 to 7 percent oil by composition, and the vast majority of its fat is water-soluble rather than oil-soluble.

He stated directly: "If you put the oil on your skin, it smothers you." This is because oil-based substances are only oil-soluble and mix only with other oil-based compounds, while the body is overwhelmingly composed of water-soluble fats. Placing a concentrated oil on the scalp does not integrate with the body's fat structure; it sits on the surface and blocks the skin's ability to breathe and exchange.

For people with dry hair or dry glands specifically, Aajonus recommended avoiding pressed oils entirely until the glands were properly hydrated, because oils dry out the glands. He said clearly that people who are dry should "completely stay away from pressed oils until the glands are hydrated."

Rather than using any kind of commercial shampoo, soap, or pressed oil as a hair cleanser, Aajonus described his own practice. He used a blend of one egg with three ounces of vegetable juice, two ounces of milk, and one tablespoon of honey. He applied this mixture to dry hair, rubbing it into the scalp and hair, and then rinsed it out. On days when he did not have access to that full mixture, he simply put straight raw milk on his hair.

He described the formula in practical terms: "I blend one egg, three ounces of vegetable juice, two ounces of milk, and one tablespoon of honey. I use that, I put it on my hair when it's dry." He noted that if the hair is very dry, the milk component should be included because it conditions the hair. If the hair is oily, he advised leaving the milk out because it will add further conditioning.

In another description he provided the same formula slightly abbreviated as "two ounces of vegetable juice, one egg, vegetable juice and egg," with the instruction to blend them and add a little honey.

Aajonus described his regular practice of using fermented coconut cream as his shampoo, soap, and general body cleanser. His method was to take coconut cream and leave it out at room temperature, unrefrigerated, in the bathroom until it turned pink, indicating fermentation. He then mixed one ounce of fermented coconut cream per eight ounces of water, shook it to dissolve it in warm water, wet his hair and body first, and then applied this mixture as his complete soap and shampoo.

He stated: "That's my shampoo, that's my soap, that's everything." He distinguished this clearly from coconut oil, explaining that coconut cream contains only about 7 percent oil and also carries water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, enzymes, and bacteria, making it far superior to any pressed coconut oil for topical use. Coconut oil, once separated from the cream, becomes 90 percent detoxifying and solvent-reactive, losing the broader nutritional profile that makes coconut cream useful.

He also noted that after making coconut cream and separating the pulp, rubbing the pulp on the skin and then rinsing it with water left the skin marvelous, clean, and soft.

For dandruff, Aajonus identified the cause as hardened or unutilizable fat, with accompanying bacteria being the body's attempt to detoxify that fat rather than a primary cause. He warned against antibacterial shampoos, stating that they poison the scalp and that the poisons are often absorbed into the body and brain, producing impatience, discontent, and irritability.

His topical remedy for dandruff involved a specific formula applied once every second or third day: 1.5 tablespoons of cold-pressed-below-96-degrees-Fahrenheit fermented coconut oil or stone-pressed olive oil, blended with 1 teaspoon of fresh cucumber, massaged into the scalp and left to stand overnight. The hair was then wetted and washed with a whipped raw whole egg the following morning.

He also stated that eating plenty of raw fat and alkalizing foods usually ends dandruff within one to two months. He acknowledged that dandruff might return briefly for a week or two as the body discards old stored unusable fat and other toxins through the scalp, with those toxins causing the scalp to dry and the upper layer to flake, and that this was when the topical remedy was most useful.

For hair loss, Aajonus described a specific topical formula for the scalp: 1 ounce of fresh raw aloe vera gel taken directly from the inside of the leaf combined with 2 ounces of fermented coconut oil that had never been heated above 96 degrees Fahrenheit. This mixture was rubbed into the scalp to protect it and the follicles. He stated that this protocol "usually stops hair loss and sometimes promotes hair growth within several weeks, unless you have an allergy to shampoo."

He distinguished this from dietary support for hair loss, which he addressed separately through raw berries with raw coconut cream, a little unsalted raw butter, and a little raw cream to help bind with metals so they cause less damage to follicles.

Aajonus held a firm position that no oil applied to hair or scalp should have been heated above 96 degrees Fahrenheit during processing. He stated that as of his publications, only olive oil and flax oil were pressed below 96 degrees Fahrenheit without solvent extraction. He specifically identified Spectrum Natural as the only brand he knew of pressing peanut oil and olive oil below that threshold. For olive oil, he recommended Oliflex from Italy as the best-tasting and smoothest option.

For coconut oil specifically, he stated that no coconut oil or butter on the market was produced below 118 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of what labels claimed. The one exception was an oil made in Thailand that he supervised, fermented without any processing, available from thaiorganiclife.com, which he described as not heated above 96 degrees Fahrenheit. However, he consistently reminded that even this oil, while the purest available, was still a pressed oil and therefore still 90 percent solvent-reactive.

He explained that oils heated above 96 degrees Fahrenheit begin to cause problems for the liver. Any oil heated beyond that threshold is effectively no longer in its useful state for topical or internal use related to hair health.

Aajonus was explicitly opposed to essential oils and aromatic oils being used on hair or skin. Essential oils are distilled, typically at temperatures ranging from 350 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, though some producers distill at lower temperatures such as 257 degrees. He stated that even at 257 degrees, the oil is turned into a damaging chemical structure that acts like kerosene or gasoline, penetrating cell walls without the cell having any choice in the matter.

He noted that Young, who sells essential oils under a brand called Young Living, admits in his own book that nature distills plant oils between 57 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit, and that anything above that is not "living" in any meaningful sense. He called the use of the word "living" for these products "a fraud."

He described what happens to people who use essential oils on their skin over long periods: "Their skin starts getting translucent and very sore." Essential oils are not easily removed from the body along with the toxins they disturb, and they damage cells by thinning cellular walls and organelles.

His position on fragrance from natural sources was that if someone wanted real oils that would be fragrant, they should eat flower petals early in the morning before the oils vaporize, rather than applying any processed aromatic oil to hair or skin.

Aajonus drew a consistent and sharp line between animal fats and pressed oils when it came to maintaining hair condition. Animal fats, whether from dairy, meat, or insects, carry a minimum of 50 percent soothing, calming, restructuring, and building properties. Pressed oils carry 90 percent cleansing and solvent properties, with little to no stabilizing or building function.

He stated that pressed oils "don't stabilize the skin, they don't do any of that," while animal fats, particularly raw dairy fats, are what actually keep hair supple, resilient, and well-lubricated. The Russian general's wartime log was his clearest illustration of this: raw dairy maintained beautiful hair; pressed oils caused it to dry out within three months.

He connected hair health to overall fat intake, pointing out that the lymphatic system sends minerals, including toxic minerals such as mercury, lead, and aluminum, into the hair and nails as an elimination pathway. The texture of hair reflects the level and type of toxicity being expelled through it. Very brittle hair indicates high mercury and lead. Gray hair typically shows high concentrations of aluminum, which discolors hair and destroys paraaminobenzoic acid, a B vitamin that regulates pigmentation.

While he did not prescribe butter or cream as specific topical hair treatments in most passages, Aajonus mentioned that butter could be applied topically to the body and face. In one exchange about nail and skin care, he recommended olive oil, peanut oil, or butter for topical application depending on skin type, noting that for sensitive and light skin, olive oil should be avoided because it tends to cause blemishes, sores, or rashes. He suggested applying butter to the face before any cosmetic product to buffer the skin.

In another passage, he described an intensive body formula combining raw cream, ginger juice, and honey applied to the skin and left on until a bath, describing dramatic improvements in the appearance and youthfulness of someone who used it consistently. While not specifically prescribed for hair, this reflects his broader principle that animal fats rather than pressed oils are what truly feed and maintain external tissue.

He also noted that in the older tradition of extracting fragrance from flowers, processors laid petals on lard or animal fat rather than using pressed solvent oils, and that this method produced a fragrant product without the toxic chemical alteration caused by heat and pressure.

When pressed oils were used topically on the scalp for the specific therapeutic protocols he outlined, Aajonus was careful about temperature and fermentation requirements. The fermented coconut oil used in the dandruff and hair loss protocols had to be fermented and had to be cold-pressed below 96 degrees Fahrenheit. This was not a casual qualification but a defining requirement for the oil to function as intended rather than as a damaging solvent.

For the hair loss formula, the 2 ounces of coconut oil was combined with 1 ounce of aloe vera gel to moderate the solvent effect of the oil and to provide protective and healing properties from the aloe vera side. This combination represents his approach to using a pressed oil medicinally in a topical context, with a balancing ingredient to protect the tissue being treated.

His general position was that oils could be used as medicines, as topical remedies for specific scalp conditions, but should not be understood as nourishing or moisturizing agents. Their value in these protocols comes from their solvent capacity to dissolve accumulated dead skin, dried and hardened fat, and toxins from the scalp, not from feeding the hair or follicles.
