Castor Oil for Hair Loss

Derived from the castor bean, castor oil is full of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins which work together to provide skin and hair health benefits. One of castor oil’s most popular uses is to encourage hair growth and slow down the process of hair loss.  The highly moisturizing properties of castor oil may enable it to soothe the scalp and encourage healthy oil production in your hair.

To use castor oil for hair loss, apply it as an intensive hair mask once or twice a month. Simply saturate your locks with the oil making sure that every strand is sufficiently coated and that you massage your scalp.

Once applied, cover your hair with a shower cap to prevent the oil from dripping and leave the mask on for two hours before rinsing. Then, apply shampoo and conditioner as normal.
