Know that there are different ways to use castor oil in hair care. It all depends on your hair type. Applied in small quantities to your dry ends, castor oil prevents the formation of split ends. Less damaged, the hair breaks less and appointments with the hairdresser become less frequent. Applied daily, this express treatment helps maintain healthy hair. Indeed, by nourishing the ends, you prevent the split ends from rising and damaging your lengths. Be careful not to put too much! Very oily and viscous, it could give your hair a "sticky" look. Avoid applying it during the day on your lengths. In case of heavy hand, spray a little dry shampoo or hide your tips in a bun. For a deeper treatment, I do not hesitate to leave the castor oil on all night from roots to ends. The next day, I wash them thoroughly and rinse well. No need to use conditioner or moisturizer!
For intensely nourished hair, apply your castor oil all over the hair. Don't spare your roots:it's even better! Always detangle the hair well before applying castor oil, unless you are limiting yourself to the ends. Separate the hair using pliers and proceed section by section. Used pure, it tends to tangle the hair a little. Go gradually. Do not hesitate to mix it with water or other more fluid vegetable oils to facilitate application. Argan, olive, sesame, coconut, flax... You have plenty to do in the kitchen! To help you:use a boar bristle or synthetic bristle brush. By "grabbing" the oil, the bristles of the brush will ideally distribute the product. Polish the lengths by brushing gently. Start at the tips and work your way up and down to avoid knots. Then massage with your fingers to make the product penetrate well, if necessary with another more fluid oil or a hair balm. Make a bun or a braid, protect your pillowcase (normally, the oil does not stain) and let it sit overnight. You can also leave on for 2 hours with a heated cap or a hot towel to activate the treatment. Then proceed with your shampoo, letting the foam run down your lengths. Feel the difference. A miracle, we tell you! Also to try:the application on the scalp. To boost the growth of your hair, nothing better than a hair massage with castor oil! Indeed, "castor oil is a perfect natural hair growth stimulant".
