Castor oil is often referred to as castor oil because of the many uses this amazing oil has. Castor oil comes from the fruit of the castor tree (ricinus communis), which is why it is sometimes referred to as castor oil.
Castor oil can be used both on the body and internally. Due to the rich amounts of vitamin E, omega 6 and 9 fatty acids, this oil is used for nourishing hair, nails, skin, eyelashes, eyebrows, beard.
Castor oil is a real boon for your hair. The omega 9 fatty acids present prevent dehydration of the (irritated) scalp, and will nourish and moisturize the hair roots. Say goodbye to split ends and hair breakage and see dull and dry hair shine and become fuller again.
Application

- If Hair oil. Apply a few drops of castor oil to your scalp. Since castor oil is a thicker liquid, we recommend mixing it with a carrier oil such as argan oil to make it easier to wash out and give your hair an even bigger boost. If you really want to pamper and nourish your hair, we recommend the following hair mask. Mix three teaspoons of castor oil, sweet almond oil and coconut oil, with a few drops of lavender oil and one tablespoon of aloe vera juice. Store in a dropper bottle, and leave for 30 minutes in your hair before washing with a natural shampoo.
