Because castor oil has a really high viscosity (it’s very thick), it will need to be amended with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil.
1 part castor oil
1 part coconut or olive oil
Heat both oils in a microwave safe bowl for a few seconds or use a double boiler. Test with your finger to make sure that the oils are not too hot – you seriously don’t wanna burn your scalp with hot oil!
Apply the warm oils to the scalp (just pour it on the top of your head) and massage gently into scalp for 3-5 minutes. Then, distribute the oils all throughout the hair, focusing on the scalp and the ends.
Cover with a warm, wet towel or a shower cap. For best results, leave on overnight, but if that’s not possible, leave on for 30 minutes.
Rinse out and shampoo and condition as usual.
Repeat as often as possible, 2-3 times a week preferably.
Do this for at least a month and you’ll see a NOTICEABLE difference in hair strength, shine, thickness, and length!
