Castor Oil Recipes

There are currently a variety of castor oil hair treatment recipes that are available for specific hair concerns.

In conjunction with moisturizing castor oil treatments you can try, you can do a number of things to keep your hair healthy and create the best possible conditions for growth.

• Try to stay in good overall health by maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting adequate sleep and avoiding smoking. 
• Sticking to a regular hair care routine can also be helpful. In fact, consider giving yourself a scalp massage now and again while washing or conditioning your hair. This can increase blood flow to your scalp and stimulate hair follicles.

Here are some recipes you can also try:

For dandruff and itchy scalp:

Mix equal parts castor oil with jojoba oil for a scalp treatment.

Rosemary EO* also works well with castor oil to balance the oils of the scalp.

For hair loss/thinning hair:

Mix equal parts of castor, jojoba and grape seed oil then combine thyme*, cedarwood,  rosemary* EO. These essential oils stimulate the hair follicles to encourage hair growth and prevent future hair loss.

• Apply the mixture to your scalp by gently massaging it and covering the entire scalp including the areas around your ears and above the back of your neck. After doing this procedure, completely wrap your hair with a towel and leave it covered for at least 15 to 20 minutes in order to allow the oil to fully penetrate your scalp and maximize it's effects.
• Afterward, you can rinse your treated hair with warm water and completely wash out the solutions. If you do not like the smell of your hair, you can use shampoo after an hour to allow the effect of the solution to be fully optimized. Repeat this procedure for at least twice per week for the next few months and you shall observe great improvement on your current condition. 
• If you have dry, relaxed and colored hair, add 3 tablespoon of Castor oil to your favorite conditioner.  It adds extra moisture to your hair and seals it in. 

 * do not use these essential oils if pregnant
