I ordered a bottle of home health brand castor oil on Ebay, and it arrived yesterday. I mixed it 1:1 with jojoba oil, applied it with an applicator bottle, and put a shower cap over the top of it today after church. I'll wear it the rest of the day today, and overnight (with a towel on my pillow), and will CO-wash it out in the morning. I really hope to have the results that some of you have reported. For the last three months my growth was .75", .75" and .5" . I would be delighted to see 1+ inch a month, and this seems like a very safe option to try. I used castor oil to induce labor a few times, and it was very effective at that. If it grows my hair faster than its usual rate, then I'll definitely have to call it a miracle oil... labor induction AND hair growth... sounds too good to be true. Can't hurt to give it a try, and if it works, happy day!
