Caster oil for Moisturizing Frizzy and and Dry hair
Castor oil has long been used as a remedy for hair loss and
thinning hair. It has many other uses as well, including moisturizing dry hair,
taming frizz, and managing tangles. It can also make your hair grow stronger
and thicker. There is much more to just slapping the castor oil on, however;
how you prepare the oil will determine how easy it is to put on. This article
will show you how to prepare the oil and how to apply it to your hair.
Gather your supplies. Applying castor oil to hair seems
like it might be simple, but there are a few things you could do to make it
more effective and easier to apply. Here is a list of what you will need:
- Castor oil
- Other oil (argan, avocado, coconut, jojoba, sweet almond,
etc)
- Hot water
- Bowl
- Jar
- Shower cap
- Towel
- Old shirt (recommended)
DILUTE THE CASTER OIL WITH ANOTHER OIL.
Castor oil is very thick, which can make it hard to
apply. Try using one part castor oil, and one part of another oil, such as:
argan, avocado, coconut, jojoba, or sweet almonds. All of these oils are great
for hair. You can also try the following combination.
- 3 tablespoons castor oil
- 1 tablespoon jojoba oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Pour all of the oils into a small jar and shake the jar to
mix everything together. Close the lid tightly, and shake the jar for a
few minutes. When you are done, take the lid off.
Fill a bowl with very hot water. Make sure that the
bowl is large enough to fit the jar. You will be warming the oil. This will
make it more effective and easier to work with. Do not attempt to warm the oil
in the microwave.
Put the jar into the water, and leave it there for two to
four minutes. Make sure that the water level is at the same level as the
oil. Also, make sure that the no water gets inside the jar, or the oil will get
wet. If the water goes with the oil , it won't cause the same effect but if you
want, heat the shower to the hottest amount possible. Don't worry you won't go
in it , then put conditioner in your hair and just sit in the bathroom. The
warmth will moisturize your hair, help split ends, promote more growth to your
roots and make you hair soft and shiny. make sure to have a glass of water in
case you start to feel dizzy or too hot!!!
Once the oil is warm, pour it into a small bowl. This
will make it easier for you to dip your fingers into when you go to apply it.
Consider pouring the oil into a small bottle with an eye
dropper. This way, you can use the eye dropper to just drip the oil to your
scalp.
PROCEDURE
Start with damp, but not wet hair. This will help the oil absorb better
into your hair. A quick way to dampen your hair is to fill a spray bottle with
water, and spraying just your scalp.
Cover your shoulders with a towel. This will protect your clothes from
getting covered in oil. It may also be a good idea to wear something you do not
care about anymore, in case the oil drips past the towel.
Dip your fingers into the oil, and massage your scalp for
three to five minutes. Do not use too much oil; a little bit goes a long way.
Use your fingers to spread the oil between your hair roots and across your
scalp. Massage your head with your fingertips using small, circular motions.
Apply the oil to the rest of your hair. Scoop a little
bit more oil onto your fingers, and rub it between your palms. Then, run your
hands across your hair. Use your fingers to comb your hair; this helps
distribute the oil. Again, start with a small amount. You do not need a lot of
oil.
Cover your hair with a shower cap. Loosely pile your
hair on top of your head. If you need to, you can keep it in place with a claw
clip. Slip a shower cap over your hair. The shower cap will trap the heat
inside, and it will keep your hair from drying out.
Wrap a hot towel around your head and the shower cap. Warm up a towel by
soaking it with very hot water. Twist the towel to get any excess water out,
then wrap it around your head. You can tuck the end of the towel in under your
"turban," or you can secure it with a large hair clip. The heat from
the towel will make the oil more effective.
Wait 30 minutes to 3 hours before washing the oil out. You
can also leave it on overnight, although there is little evidence that shows
this is more effective. When you go to wash your hair, know that it may take a
while before you get all the oil out. Some people find that washing with just
conditioner, and skipping the shampoo, is more effective than using shampoo.
Use this treatment once to twice a week for best results. Keep
in mind, however, that you may not see any results the next day. Try using the
castor oil treatment for four weeks before moving onto something else.
