To treat dry, damaged and brittle hair, castor oil is very effective. The use of this oil is able to restore hair, as the oil moisturizes both the scalp and hair. Due to the fact that moisture penetrates deep into the roots, a thorough and prolonged moistening is provided. Castor oil is widely used in cosmetology, including for the preparation of various masks.
Hair Mask
For the preparation of a mask, except castor oil, nothing is needed. However, in addition to oil, it is necessary to prepare a polyethylene coating, a towel, a hair shampoo.
It is necessary to apply castor oil on the skin and the roots of the head. It should be ensured that the oil on the skin is evenly distributed. After the hair and all the skin of the scalp are covered with oil, it is necessary to cover the hair with a plastic bag and wrap it in a towel. The oil should remain on the hair and roots for fifteen minutes. After this, to remove the remains of castor oil, it is necessary to wash the head with an ordinary shampoo. To see the desired result, such a mask should be done at least once a week for one and a half to two months.
In alternative medicine, castor oil for hair has been used for a long time. Jamaican black castor oil has received good reviews from people from all over the world. This is due to the fact that it promotes hair growth and prevents loss. This oil is made manually by roasting. Strong smell and black color is associated with the firing process, which is the reason for the chemical change in the oil.
The use of this oil contributes to the production of keratin, which is the reason for better hair growth. However, the effectiveness of oil when hair loss is only partially caused by the production of keratin, the exact mechanism of the action of the oil is still not known.
