How to use castor oil:
1 Prepare your scalp for treatment. Wash your hair with regular shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Towel dry and let it air dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
2 Prepare castor oil solution. Mix equal parts castor oil and grape seed oil to create an oil treatment.
3 Apply castor oil solution to the scalp. Slowly massage the castor oil into the scalp to cover it entirely. Make sure all areas including the base of the scalp near the neck and patches around the ears are covered with the oil solution.
4 Wrap your hair in a towel or use a steam cap and let the treatment set for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
5 Rinse the hair with warm water.
6 Repeat the process at least 1 to 2 times per week. This will help stimulate hair growth and help slow down hair loss over time.
As an alternative, castor oil may be applied to the scalp everyday or every other day as a natural oil or a sealant.
