Did you know that you can thicken and regrow your hair by simply using castor oil? Becauce of all of the minerals, proteins, and vitamin E the stuff packs, it’s an excellent choice for the job at hand. Here’s what Complete Health and Happiness says on the subject:
Castor oil is loaded with omega 9 fatty acids, which nourish the hair and follicles. Castor oil is able to penetrate into the pores and follicles that produce hair. Just massage a couple of drops of castor oil into your hair.
WikiHow gave us some more detailed instructions for how (and for how long) to apply castor oil to hair:
- Put on some protective clothing (to avoid staining good clothes) and pour oil into a container.
- Section your hair into two equal parts. Wet your fingers, then start applying the oil to your scalp with small round circles.
- Once you’ve finished with your scalp, apply remaining oil to all of your hair.
- Wrap your hair in a warm towel or hair cap and leave for at least 2 hours. If you can leave it on overnight, that’s even better.
- Shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
- Repeat steps every 7-10 days for best results.
