Home Health Castor Oil Review
Castor Oil…for hair??? That’s correct, the same stuff that Gram used to clean you out once a week is used to thicken up our hair (if only she would’ve slapped some in my head instead of giving me a tablespoon of it, ooooooh where my hair would be now, ha!)!!!
Castor oil is known for it’s emollient and anti-microbial properties. It keeps the scalp clean in between washes (those who wear braids or weaves, this is perfect) all while promoting growth and thickness at the same time! You may have seen it mentioned on the hair boards, or heard of Black castor oil, but it is not imperative that you have that particular kind. Castor oil works; as long as you are using 100% castor oil, you should see results. Home Health Castor Oil is no exception to this! It is 100% castor oil and it is cold pressed/cold processed castor oil which is even better (this signals that it has not been heated therefore key nutrients have not been lost in production)!
I started using Home Health castor oil as my oil of choice for the bhp forum’s castor oil challenge, and I must say that it has been made a staple! I began oiling my scalp with the oil, then I gradually started to seal with a mix of castor oil and EVOO and/or coconut oil. I love the thickness I am achieving and the length (despite me trimming a significant amount of my ends) that I am maintaining with the use of the castor oil. I had a very tender and fairly thin spot in my crown area before using the castor oil, however, after a week of consistently applying the oil, the spot was no longer tender. I noticed results almost instantly!
Keep in Mind:
- Castor oil may be mixed with other oils (Olive oil, coconut oil, etc) for those who have sensitivities to it
- It is a thick oil, so it should be used sparingly to prevent weighing the hair down
- It must be used consistently to achieve notable results
- May try it on eyebrows or lightly on lashes for thickness there as well
- Proven results across all hair types!
I like the ease of being able to purchase Home Health Castor Oil at my local whole foods/vitamin/health foods store without the hassles and headaches of shipping in the equation. I further appreciate the fact that it is Extra Virgin/Cold Processed, unlike most pharmacy brand castor oils. It is also inexpensive, as you may get a 8oz bottle for $4.99 (vitamin shoppe price). If you are interested in incorporating castor oil into your weekly regimen, I highly recommend the Home Health brand.
Only because I have yet to try any others….Rating 4.5 out of 5!
