Do you struggle with dry scalp, brittle curls and or dandruff? If so, you might want to consider incorporating castor oil into your curl care routine. Castor oil has been used for hundreds of years due to its amazing benefits, and more curlies are beginning to apply it to their curls.
Benefits:
Castor oil has a lot of awesome benefits. It’s loaded with vitamin E, protein, and minerals. This means it has great anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, which can help correct a myriad of issues your curls might be experiencing. It also works to help slow curl loss. The fatty acids help attract and retain moisture, which can help your scalp stay hydrated, which will help fight off dryness and promote growth.
How To Use It:
Castor oil can be effectively used to treat a wide array of ailments such as hair loss, alopecia, infections and damage due to heat or styling.
To use castor oil, section your curls into equal sections. Apply the castor oil to your scalp and gently massage it into the skin using your finger tips. Allow the oil to be absorbed by the scalp. Once the oil has been applied, work the castor oil from roots to tips. Cover your curls with a plastic shower cap and then wrap with a towel to keep heat trapped in. Allow the castor oil to sit on your curls for 1-2 hours before removing with a gentle cleansing shampoo. Since castor oil is quite thick, you might need to shampoo your curls more than once to get all of the oil out. Try to avoid leaving excess oil in your curls, as it can weight them down or make your hair appear oily. After you shampoo, follow with a conditioner.
You can utilize this treatment weekly to get the benefits of castor oil. Over time, you will notice your curls become smoother, have less frizz and that your scalp will become healthier.
