My Castor Oil Regimen

Castor Oil is definitely an oil that you want to include in your regimen. Castor oil aids in thickening the hair and supposedly increases hair growth. It is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial so for all the ladies out there with dandruff and other scalp issues this oil will definitely help with that. Did i mention that castor oil is a humectant so it will constantly draw moisture from the air around you, leaving your hair soft and moisturized. I apply castor oil to the scalp once or twice a week depending on my schedule. The length of time that the castor oil stays in my hair is about 3-4 days. I tend to apply it on Wednesdays and I wash my hair on Sundays. I apply it directly to my scalp and then the rest of the hair paying special attention to the ends. For the rest of the week the hair would be worn in a ponytail or bun. Now i wouldn’t suggest you go crazy and apply too much to your hair, because it will definitely weight your hair down. Also i tend to go between using straight castor oil and my mixed castor oil (castor oil, olive oil, avocado oil, grape seed oil, almond oil). Also don’t stress yourself looking for different types of castor oil (health store brand, Jamaican, pharmacy brand) from my research there seems to be no real difference. However make sure the one you purchase says pure or 100% there should be no additives.

If you have used castor oil tell me about you experiences, whether you like it or not.
