I have seen decent results, but I dropped caster oil from my regime a few months ago.
Hello everybody! So did anybody see some speed in hair growth? It is the third day of scalp oiling with castor oil for me, along with the GHE at night, too soon to tell if there is any result.
Same for me Evocative, I just finished my second castor oil treatment on my scalp, but I've been using it on my eyelashes daily for 5 days or so. Seems like people have mixed results so I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it works for us!
I will try this method this evening. Hope it will wash out easely tomorrow :-)
I've used castor oil on my eyebrows and lashes for two months time, and I'm not impressed. I was hoping my over-tweezed brows could grow out (I've killed many of the hair follicles over the years and I was hoping castor oil could make them grow back). It seems to have slightly thickened the hairs already there, but it hasn't made any new hair grow out. And no difference on my lashes.
I've been considering trying it on my hair to see if it could thicken it up, but I hate oiling my hair :P
I should start doing this again. On myself, and on my friend who's hair is thinning quite a bit (which is of course, no big deal and pretty normal for a male in his fifties) :) But it can't hurt, right? I'm his personal unpaid, unprofessional hairdresser and he loves it! Dye, cut, sometimes washing and conditioning, oiling and scalp massages are all included.
However, i find castor oil to be so unpleasantly sticky, gah! It gets a bit better when diluted, but still. It's hard to get it anywhere near the scalp without using a lot. I guess buying one of those huge bottles they sometimes have for sale would make it easier, then I wouldn't feel like I waste so much when there is so little in the bottle. And maybe dilute it a bit more?
How do you guys do it?
I put coconut oil onto my hair every Saturday night and sleep with it until Sunday morning. Last night, I mixed castor oil with my coconut oil, layered my hair and every piece of hair was slathered (I also put ylang ylang oil onto my scalp.) I put a bag over my hair, slept with it on and washed it off with CWC followed with a rosemary and thyme hair rinse. All of the oil came out of my hair and my hair is so unbelievably soft, shiny, and manageable!
Well I did it for a month doing once a week treatments. Looking at the pic where I measured myself my hair shrunk. Clearly I didn't measure well so I'm starting another month and will have hubby measure.
I do feel like my hair may have grown a bit faster but will know for sure in 4 weeks.
Before I only left it on for 30 mins this time I will do a few hours.
As a side note I am mixing it with avocado or almond oil as using it alone makes my scalp itchy sometimes.
