Regular Castor Oil

[YummyC]

Can I use regular castor oil to treat my hair? If so, how do i do it?

I use regular castor oil as a preshampoo treatment. I put castor oil all over my hair and keep it on for 1 hr to overnight depending on how time I have. i just put a plastic cap over my head. Sometimes I sit under the dryer for an hour.

Thanks for replying
What are the positive benefits to doing this?

castor oil thickens and moisturizes the hair thus helping it grow

Castor oil has worked wonders in thickening my hair. I use it in my Surge mixture along with olive oil. I also mix it in my conditioners and my spray bottle mix. It's a staple for me.

Have you been using it for a long time and how do you use it?

Karme,

In an empty spray bottle, I fill the bottle half way with surge. Then I add castor oil and olive oil (I usually dont measure but I put enough oils in that when I shake the bottle the mixture becomes cloudy). Then spray away

do you spray this mixture in your hair everyday?

I use it mostly on days when I wash or CW my hair (CW 2x a week-wash with poo 1x a week). I also use this daily on my temples.

I use mine as a pre-shampoo treatment twice a week. I put it on my hair and scalp- massage it in and then place a thin, plastic cap on my head- i leave it on for an hour or two and then rinse, shampoo, condition and then deep condition. It works great for me and my hair is thicker and growing- i also put a little jamaica black castor oil in my glycerin/water spritz too.
