Castor Oil for Hair

Castor oil for hair is one of the most common ways people use it, and because it is such a heavy oil, a little goes a long way.

How to use castor oil for hair

1. Start with dry or slightly damp hair.
2. Warm a few drops between your palms. Castor oil is very heavy and sticky, so many people mix it half and half with a lighter oil such as almond or jojoba.
3. Apply sparingly to the lengths and ends, or massage a little into the scalp.
4. Leave it for as long as suits you, from 30 minutes to overnight with a towel on your pillow.
5. Wash it out. It often takes two rounds of shampoo.

Castor oil for lashes and brows

Our label suggests applying it to lashes or brows with a clean applicator, such as a clean mascara wand or cotton bud. Use a tiny amount, keep it out of your eyes, and stop if you notice any irritation.

Tips

• Patch test on your skin first.
• Protect your pillowcase and clothes. It stains.
• Less is more: excess oil is hard to wash out.

Safety

• For external use only. Do not swallow.
• Patch test on a small area first, and stop using it if irritation occurs.
• Do not use on broken skin, and keep it out of your eyes.
• If you are pregnant, check with your doctor or midwife before using castor oil.
• Keep out of reach of children. Store below 25°C.
