Castor oil for hair growth?

**PolarCathy** · April 21st, 2011, 01:56 AM

If anyone interested reads this and is located in Sweden, 500ml cold-pressed castor oil, fraktfritt, for 75 SEK (fraktfritt with "rabattkod" SPRINGTIME at checkout, for orders made during April). Has been out of stock lately, I got the notification two hours ago that they have it again.

I meant JBCO not regular castor oil.

For me it does not seem to work on eyebrows but it did a good job on my lashes.

You people and your talk of the wondrous castor oil!I just came home with my freshly bought 100ml bottle of castor oil ''squee''
I'm going to be applying this to my lashes twice a day,starting today, with a clean mascara wand to see if there is any change.And also massage it to my scalp and leave it for a few hours or overnight before washing my hair...which means twice a week.I assume that should be enough for now...and then see how it affects my hair and its growth.(why I am so excited?)..if anyone is interested,I'll post updates here on my progress.I just thought it's an experiment worth trying.

its harder for me to do a JCBO overnight treatment during the week. I have curly hair and if i wash it in the morning i have to put it in a bun and to me it stretches the hair and might cause it to break if not dried all the way. any thoughts?

Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered a bottle. That should last me a while, I haven't even used up 200ml since January.

That's impressive! I use it for everything -- for sore muscles, sometimes I put it on my face, then during summer if I am sunburnt I use a ton, then I mix some into massage oils, and lately, I use it for my hair. I buy at least one small bottle every second week for that purpose alone (that 60ml bottle sold in the pharmacies). Enjoy!

Last summer I was damp buning every wash cause I didn't have anytime to let it fully dry.It's also a way of retaining more moisture into the hair.I don't think it'll harm your hair if your styles or bun are not tight and doesn't pull your strands.
BTW i started using castor oil but didn't really post in here.I have been mixing it with coconut oil and massaging to my scalp every other day then cowash it out the next morning.
