Using castor oil for hair is a natural and easy way to revitalize and protect your hair from damage when used properly.
Castor oil is a very effective remedy for hair health, used 2 to 3 times a week being more than enough to see measurable results.
You can use castor oil for hair loss, to stimulate growth, and to improve the health of the scalp. One of the most popular methods of using this oil is mixed with other types of carrier oils. Remember, you only need a small amount of castor oil.

To make the hair even smoother, you can add a bit of your regular conditioner to the mixture. After leaving the mask on for 15-20 minutes, rinse well.

Castor oil is beneficial for strengthening and promoting hair growth. Peppermint oil balances pH, stimulates the scalp, and hydrates it. It also has a soothing effect, but do not use it excessively as it may cause irritation. Honey treats the scalp and has antibacterial properties.
