Castor oil is a natural vegetable oil mainly extracted from castor beans. It is thicker and stickier than other vegetable oils, and that’s why it’s not recommendable for cooking. Instead, you can use it as a quick fix for hair fall.
Castor oil stimulates hair growth, moisturizes your scalp, fixes split ends, prevents breakage, thickens the hair and adds shine.
How to Use Castor Oil for Hair Loss Prevention
Castor oil is rich in omega 9 fatty acids and essential vitamins. It is a known remedy for various disorders such as hair loss.
Apply some castor oil on your palm and work it through your hair from roots to tips and massage well. Make sure not to use too much oil because it is thick and will be difficult to wash off. Leave the oil on for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water and shampoo. You can also mix some castor oil with any other nourishing oil.
