Today i am sharing with you guys part of my hair care routine.In this post i am sharing only one of the many products i use in my hair care regime .That is why i have labeled it as part 1.I will be continuing this series until i share all the products i use in my hair care routine.
One of my go to holy grail product is 'Castor Oil'.
I have very dry,,frizzy and unruly hair. After many years of struggling with hair fall , dandruff and using multiple products to combat the weird combo of oily scalp and dry hair ends,castor oil has become a staple in my hair care routine.As what i have learned from my research ,Castor oil is derived from the seeds of castor plant.It helps in promoting hair growth.Massaging this oil in the scalp helps in blood circulation to the hair follicles,thereby promoting hair growth.The oil contains omega 6 fatty acid which helps in nourishing the hair.Castor oil also has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.Therefore it helps in treating dandruff and other scalp problems.
You can use any brand of castor oil.I prefer the sunny isle castor oil that i buy from amazon,since i have been using this brand for a long time now and i really like it.It comes in a tinted bottle to prevent it from sun exposure ,so that it does not go bad.Castor oil is very thick in consistency,So it cannot be used alone on the hair.I usually mix equal parts of Castor,Olive and Almond oil and heat it up for a few seconds and then apply this concoction on the scalp and the ends of my hair.I prefer to use the Now foods Almond oil(If you can get the cold press oil please get that as cold press is best for hair )
I saturate my hair completely with this mixture and then wrap my head with a moist warm towel .This way the pores of my scalp opens up and all the goodness of this oil mixture are able to penetrate .After keeping the oil applied on my hair for around 2 to 3 hrs ,i finally wash my hair with a clarifying shampoo.This oil concoction helps to nourish and condition my hair as my hair is very dry and frizzy. Over the years its has helped my hair to grow thicker and stronger.
You can use any brand of extra virgin olive oil .I use the Kirkland Brand.Again organic and extra virgin is the best.
Both Olive oil and Almond oil are also the powerhouse of hair health.
Please note that you can combine any other oils with castor oil like coconut,avocado oil etc.Any oil that suits your scalp can be combined or taken awat from this concoction except castor oil which the hero here.
I have been loving this routine.Do share your experience if you decide to give this concoction a try or let me know what are your holy grail products.
That's it for today,till my very next,love life,forgive and forget.
Cheers,
Rashi

Hey Rashi, I'm a first timer visitor here. I use this particular brand of jbco. I guess I haven't seen any difference since it's quite thick and I use it alone. I'll try your method. How about a daily use of it?
ReplyDeleteHi O'coco,
DeleteThanks for stopping by.Yes i agree that the oil is too thick to use alone.Please try to use the concoction that i explained above and do let me know how you felt about it.Also try it for a complete month and then see the difference.I would definitely give this oil a lot of credit for hair fall prevention as for the times i stopped using it i could clearly see hair thinning.I recommend using it only twice a week and not daily.I also use additional products in my hair care routine which i will be sharing soon.Do follow me on Instagram for quick updates.Hope it works for you too.. :)
Will follow you right away... I'm installing a Protective Style next week which I'm going to carry for at least a month. But I'll make sure I try this at least once before making my hair. I'm African and I have the type 4c hair....
DeleteThat's great do try it and let me know..All the best.. Really wish it works for you :)
