Black Castor Oil

What is Black Castor Oil?

Jamaican Black Castor Oil, also known as Ricinus communis, is nutrient-rich vegetable oil from castor beans. Although it originates in tropical east Africa, it is widely used in India and the West Indies for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Containing high amounts of ricinoleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, castor oil has, according to a 2012 study, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Black Castor Oil Benefits:

• Increases blood flow to the scalp, which promotes healthier hair.
• Applying it just once a month can boost hair growth up to five times the usual rate.
• Can moisturize a dry, irritated scalp.
• Its antibacterial and antifungal properties can reduce dandruff.

How to use Black Castor Oil:

• Fine to medium straight hair: Castor oil can be used as a deep treatment to protect the very ends of your hair fiber, the last 2-3 inches of hair. Use it as a pre-shampoo treatment to help keep the tangles away. Be sure not to overuse—shampoo out and style as desired.
• Medium to thick straight/wavy hair: Apply throughout the entire head for an intense pre-shampoo treatment. Add heat or steam for deeper penetration into the hair cuticle.
• Wavy to loose curls: I suggest mixing drops of castor oil into conditioners during these hot and humid summer months.
• Curly to tightly coiled: I suggest using castor oil as needed throughout your regimen, [as a] pre-shampoo, added treatment, or as a weekly moisturizer. It is essential to perform a proper monthly detox shampoo when using heavy oils like castor oil.
