For centuries, people have been searching and making ways to cure hair loss but only in vain. There are ongoing attempts, however, but it seems that it would still take decades until a commercially available cure happens.
For the time being, hair loss sufferers rely heavily on topical solutions, medications, and surgeries for refuge. Little do most people know that the most effective hair loss products contain powerful natural extracts. One of the widely used natural ingredients in these products is castor oil.
The use of castor oil as a hair loss remedy can be traced back thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Derived from the castor plant (Ricinus communis), castor oil is extracted from its bean which is a popular medicinal purgative.
It also has other uses such as treating acne, ringworm, athlete’s foot, skin abrasions, and sunburns among others. Due to its observed ability in boosting the immune system, experts have been using it to treat conditions like arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy.
Castor oil has an unusual composition, containing fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, and ricinoleic acids. However, it is 99% percent ricinoleic acid, which is a potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungicidal agent. Therefore, it can protect the hair and scalp from hair-loss-causing agents. Aside from that, it can be used as a hair loss remedy and provide nourishment for the hair; and with its humectants, it can provide sufficient moisture for the hair and scalp.
In preparing castor oil as a hair loss remedy, dilute the oil by adding it to your conditioner or by mixing it with other essential oils such as rosemary or grape seed oil. (Raw castor oil is very thick in consistency.) Apply the conditioner to your hair; massaging the scalp with it will not only stimulate hair growth but also will especially make your hair shiny, treat split ends, and make it less frizzy. It will provide deep conditioning without leaving the hair oily at all.
