Is Castor Oil Good For Hair Growth?
Castor oil is becoming a popular remedy for hair loss and a helpful ingredient for hair regrowth. On an average, your hair grows by about half an inch every month. With the regular use of castor oil, hair growth can be boosted by three to five times the usual rate. It not only spurs hair growth, but the hair also becomes noticeably thicker within a few months of use. Castor oil also can make your eyelashes and eyebrows longer and thicker.
What Type Of Castor Oil Should You Use?
There are three types of castor oil that are popularly used for hair care – organic castor oil, Jamaican black castor oil, and hydrogenated castor oil. While the castor seeds are originally from Africa, they made their way to Jamaica due to the slave trade.
Benefits Of Castor Oil For Hair,
1) Controls Hair Fall,
The ricinoleic acid present in castor oil improves blood circulation to your scalp. This, in turn, improves follicle and scalp health and reduces hair fall. It strengthens the roots of your hair by nourishing your scalp and providing protection against microbes.
2) Encourages Hair Regrowth,
90% of castor oil’s nutritional content is made up of ricinoleic acid. This, combined with the omega-6 and 9 fatty acids, penetrates the hair shafts and roots and nourishes it, restoring its optimum health and boosting hair growth.
3) Treats Dandruff,
Dandruff is usually caused by an underlying issue such as an oily scalp or itchiness. The antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties of castor oil make it an effective treatment for battling dandruff. Ricinoleic acid is also known to balance the pH of the scalp, making it healthier and an unfavorable environment for dandruff.
4) Reduces Split Ends,
Castor oil fills in the damaged gaps of keratin in the hair shaft. It increases the tensile strength of the hair, making it less prone to splitting and breakage.
5) Thickens Hair,
Castor oil penetrates the outer layer of the hair shaft. The added regrowth and reduced hair fall make your hair thicker and stronger.
6) Is A Natural Conditioner,
As we mentioned above, the oil penetrates the outer layer of the hair and fills in any damaged spots of keratin. This process, by itself, smoothes the hair by restoring the hair cuticles. It also makes the shafts less prone to loss of moisture.
7) Darkens Hair,
Castor oil can help you achieve richer and darker hair naturally. The humectant effect of castor oil enables your hair to retain the required moisture, increasing its dark shade (7).
8) Protects Hair From Damage,
The fatty acids present in castor oil form a protective layer on your hair and protect it from sun damage and loss of color. It replenishes the natural oils and protects your scalp from the damage caused by harsh chemicals present in dyes and hair products.
9) Provides Shiny Hair,
As explained earlier, castor oil provides your hair with a protective coat along the shaft. This, in turn, reflects more light and makes your hair smoother and shinier.
How To Use Castor Oil To Combat Hair Loss,
What You Need,
1/2 cup castor oil,
Directions,
Take some oil in your palm and work it through your hair from the roots to the tips (the same way you apply your regular oil), and massage well. Castor oil has a thicker density, which makes it difficult to wash it out. Hence, make sure that you do not use too much oil.
Leave the oil in for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. You could also leave it in overnight.
Owing to its dense consistency, it can be quite a task to wash off castor oil. You will need to shampoo multiple times to get rid of the oil. But this method works for some – condition your hair with a commercial conditioner 30 minutes before you take a shower. The oil should come off easily.
Once you wash your hair, towel dry it and avoid using any heat styling tools immediately.
While your hair might feel moisturized, it will take a while before you see any results.
Note: This treatment works best on slightly damp hair.
