coconut oil?

My filly is 2 years old and as far as I know (i haven't had her the whole time) her mane and tail have never been cut. If I don't cut it every so often, will that stop it from growing as fast?

Also, I heard that using pure virgin coconut oil on them do wonders, but I wasn't sure if there was a specific kind to buy or where? Or how much...or how often to use it?

If anyone familiar with it?

I don't know the answer to this but I'm sure interested to find out!

Cocnut oil is great on there mane and tail....We used it when we sold a horse and they just loved his mane and tail.... we put the cocnut oil in and then braieded his tail and left it french braieded for 3 days and took it out before they came so see him and they just loved his tail!!
