would castor oil as a pre-poo thicken up hair?

[Jadore_tay]

I was wondering if castor oil is suppose to make hair thick. Would it do just that if used as a pre-poo on a weekly basis? :scratchch

Castor oil is said to make the hair thicker....but I'm not sure that it's ever been proven why or how.

In my own experience, castor oil does a great job of providing a protective layer on the strands of my hair. That protective layer does a great job of making breakage less likely. Less breakage means more hair on my head, and that makes my ends look thicker.

Umm I wouldn't be putting the bolded on my hair or scalp. I don't even know what the last ingredient is.

Just get some regular castor oil. I use the home health brand, it can be found at whole foods. The only ingredient should be castor oil.

I love my castor oil, I use it every single day. It does amazing things for my hair.

But, I just haven't seen any scientific proof that it can actually make hair thicker. Even coconut and evoo have been proven to penetrate the strand. And jojoba has been studied and shown to be most similar to the scalp's natural sebum. But there's nothing but anecdotes about castor oil.

I still love it because it protects my hair and makes it super soft and easy to detangle. It just doesn't make the individual strands thicker. Henna has been proven to do that, so I'm tempted to try it.

I get tempted as well but I get scared when I look at the Ingredients that people put in there mixture. I may have to try it after I do a little more research

I was scared about that too. And then I started reading on mehandi.com and Catherine herself says you don't need to mix it with anything but water. Fresh, good quality henna will have great dye release no matter what. And if it's finely sifted then you don't need to add anything to help with rinsing because it should rinse out well with just water.

All the other stuff people add is really unnecessary. Some people do it for smell and others do it to help with moisturizing while the henna is still on. But, I think when I do it, I'll just DC after (which you should do anyway). If I really need moisture then the only thing I'll be adding to the mix is honey.

I think the best thing you can do with henna is to keep it as simple as possible, especially the first time. That way whatever outcomes you have, good or bad, you know what the cause was.

The last ingredient is a turn off . The Hydroquinone is for preservative purposes. It is also in the Dabur brand Vatika Oil. Its like you see all these natural ingredients then the preservative sticks out like a sore thumb. I am sure it is a very small amount but I would just go with some regular old castor oil.

I wonder what it's preserving?
