hey! I have no useful advice at all! But I do use castor, EVOO and tea tree for OCM in a 20:80 ratio!!! Im sure someone else will come along with something more useful to say soon!
I like castor oil for reducing shed, tea tree oil to cure dandruff, olive oil to condition and soften.
What do you think about this mixture?
I brought together my favorite treatment oils but i'm not too sure if using them altogether will prevent each other from doing their tasks.

Although I'm no expert on the subject, I really don't think there would be any problems with mixing the oils, as oils tend to blend well together.

I use it for my skin- I rub it on dry skin, and flannel it off using warm-hot water. Works great atm!
I sometimes use it on my hair as a pre oil- but i tend more towards plain olive oil for this job as its cheaper in the long run and I have now scalp problems so have no need for the tea tree.
Hmmm....in terms of a tablespoon. I'm not sure but i'd guess it was approx 0.5 tablespoon castor to 2 tablespoons of olive with maybe one drop of tea tree- thats if you want a small amount. I tend to make it in larger batches- 40ml castor, 160ml olive and six drops of tea tree.
However you may like to add more castor to your blend. I do not, as when used on the skin in the oil cleansing method it has a drying effect.

I'm also aware of drying effect of castor oil. everytime i used it on my hair it felt dry and brittle. But i'm also loving its aid in hair growth maybe i'll go with %50 castor and %50 olive.
