so I've been reading all about castor oil lately and I was going to go out and buy some when I realized that my coconut oil I just bought (made by Hesh) has castor oil in it. Has anyone tried this stuff? I'm going to put it on tomorrow, I was just wondering. Also it sounds like I may have chosen correctly with my first bottle of oil, since it seems most people dilute their castor with another oil.

I'm such a newbie haha

YES big difference. How do you do your oiling? What oil do you use...I need some NOW LOL X

Just thought I would jump on the bandwagon here

I wanted to post (for anyone interested) proof that something is working, and I really think it's the castor oil. I am a seeing is believing person myself, so seeing these little sprouts on my head is very exciting!

The only new things [other than switching to no cones] that I have been doing of significant difference is Castor oil with a drop of Lavender EO every three nights before I wash in the morning. This process has been 3 weeks in the making!

I upend the bottle onto my fingertips, watch some t.v., and just massage slowly all over my scalp, reapplying as necessary to cover my whole scalp. I then coat the length with good smears of coconut oil (since I read it's more effective to penetrate the cortex as a pre-wash, than post-wash). Throw it all up into high bun on top, and wash out the next morning.

Oh.... I am taking Nettle 300mg 2x a day, but I am convinced the Castor oil is making this difference.

Wow. Can I say, from someone who usually just lurks, that I really love seeing posts like these, full of success, especially when you're questioning what you're doing, it's so nice to come on here and get reassured that your hard work will pay off!

Busybee, after 3-4 weeks of castor oil, I have a head full of sprouts like that, too! It's really exciting, isn't it?! <3 :-D

What's your method archel?

**archel** · August 15th, 2011, 09:02 PM

Every other night on wash nights, I massage the blend I made into my scalp before bed and then wash it in the morning. My blend is 50/50 castor and grapeseed oil and 10 or so drops of lavender/vanilla EO and helichrysum EO. It feels wonderful and it's working!

Yes I do see a difference. I have to try this. This method looks very promising. I have to read up on it.. Is it the massaging action that makes your hair grow? Or the castor oil itself?

Archel: Thanks for the compliements. I have spread my pic and goodwill across many posts so hopefully different women will see results, not just a lot of talk.

Anywhoo - do you put any of the castor oil on your length? If so why, and do you see a difference in your hair in any way from this specific treatment?
