Resident licensed cosmetologist here. For people with curly, wavy or otherwise thick hair, the scalp doesn't produce enough natural oils. Coconut oil helps keep the scalp moisturized. This is necessary if you don't want a dry, itchy scalp.
Many black people use it in their hair so it's more common than you think.
