Vev, I'm telling you, castor oil da bomb!!! 
It has been the singlemost effective product for keeping my ends nice and warding off breakage. The trick is to use just a dollop of it. I use Kid's Organic Shea Butter Moisturizing and Detangling Lotion. Just a little bit because it's a little watery. I follow that up with castor oil on my ends, do one big bantu knot, tie my hair up with a silk scarf, and go to bed. The next morning, my hair is so soft (I'm 16 weeks post relaxer), and my ends look great. I really do think it's the castor oil. I suppose one could do the same thing if they wanted to roll the hair up each night.

Cosigning on the castor oil. It can really make a difference on those misbehaving ends. That is one purchase you will not regret. Plus castor oil will make you hair stands plump up.

Just as she said, you only need a tiny bit. I am a natural, and sometimes I twist my entire head only using caster oil. I will mist the hair, and make sure that i spray the ends really good with my homemade leave-in. then I will twist up my hair with castor oil, pulling a little extra on my ends. It really seems to work and keep my hair very soft. You do have to be careful, b/c if you use too much then your hair will be really greasy. I love my castor oil though

I sometimes do but mostly I use it as an overnight treatment or pre-poo and then wash it out. My hair is very fine and I think castor oil is a good treatment for my hair.

Castor oil really works for me but I'm wearing my hair up most of the time. It's worked wonders on my hairline. I put it on at night so it's absorbed by the time I get up in the am.

Castor oil is the new love in my life...
Ive been wearing my hair up since I started using it...but Im thinking it would work fine for my wash n go's too. If you are wearing your hair down and straight and want to avoid making it too oily or stiff..I would suggest wrapping it at night with just a few drops of castor oil smoothed over your wrap...that should work pretty well. Or just add a few drops to your ends after washing and applying your leave in to seal the ends. There are lots of ways it could be incorporated.

I have fallen in love with castor oil. I smooth on just a touch of my favorite cream moisturizer and follow with just a small amount of castor oil. Aftey yesterdays all day rain, my hair was a little frizzy. I carefully moisturized and sealed each section and this morning, it looks like I just flatironed it. Castor oil is probably one of the best things I have found all year long. I wish I bought it years ago.

I have fine hair and I loooooooooooove castor oil. I just use it in small amounts and it doesn't feel heavy at all. My hair is the softest it's ever been.

I love Castor Oil! It helps to keep my ends smooth. I apply Castor Oil after my moisturizer before I braid or twist my hair. My twists always look full and plump which is great for fine hair. Castor Oil is definitely a staple for me.
