Castor oil for hair growth?

[Fethenwen]

Oh I forgot to mention the thickness effect, castor oil is great for bringing forth more volume.

I think I could try it to my edges where I wish to see some new growth
I just had a big shedding from olive oil accident, so maybe I don't want to take any risks with spreading oil all over my scalp...

^ Sounds like a good idea, to add only a little on a small area.

Great idea to be cautious!

And I never thought of mixing castor with avocado, I might have to try that but I definitely don't need help in the volume department.

yeah, take it easy especially if you have fine hair, massaging such a thick oil on the scalp is not the gentlest thing and just the manipulation might cause you to shed a bit more...
i used to put it on my eyelashes but found out that it gives me acne, so i'm reluctant to try it on hair

Yeah, I would never put it straight into my hair, waaay to thick.
I'm so curious to see your hair when it gets longer, hope you will make it this time around

I hope I make it too, but I've gotten dangerously close to screwing it up again, I'm fighting with dye urges since I decided I didn't want pink anymore 🙃 but I'm so close to getting back to the 3 month mark

I have never used it on my hair, but castor oil is WONDERFUL for the oil cleansing method (OCM) for the face. I have gone back to that, and my skin is doing great on it.

I use it for this purpose too!

Cheering you on
(sorry if I am stating the obvious or something) Perhaps you just need to settle for a "homebase" color that you can imagine having for years to come? That way it could be easier to achieve longer hair length without that much damage or need to cut it?

Unfortunately that might work for most people but not for me I get bored of colors every 3 weeks z though I do miss being platinum blond but I can't have that til the pink grows out. I'll think of something

Oh no – what happened with olive oil?
