Now that we are done the list of brands with best castor oil in India lets have a look into castor oil benefits for hair and skin.

Castor Oil benefits for skin 

* As a moisturizer: If you have dry skin using oil for moisturizing is better than applying chemical laden creams. Castor oil is a natural humectant which locks in moisture and soothes your skin making it soft and supple. Just take a few drops of castor oil and add equal amounts of almond oil and massage on face in circular motions. This works best in winter as an inexpensive moisturizer to hydrate dry scaly skin. 
* Reduces acne: Antibacterial properties of castor oil help fight acne. It also is anti inflammatory helping sooth irritated acne prone skin. 
* Prevents Stretch marks
* Fights fungal infections: Castor oil also has antifungal properties so it can be used to fight common fungal infections like ring worm and athletes foot. Studies also have shown castor oil to be effective in fighting mouth fungal infection caused by Candida.
* As a massage Oil: Castor oil can be used to relieve muscle soreness and improves blood circulation making for a good massage oil. For a soothing spa like massage feel at home add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to castor oil and massage it gently until completely absorbed.

Castor oil benefits for hair

* Promotes Hair growth: The most widespread use of castor oil is in hair care. The presence of omega 6 fatty acids help improve blood circulation in scalp helping hair grow faster and making them stronger from the roots.
* Natural Hair conditioner: You can use castor oil like a natural hair conditioner but since this oil is very thick it is best to mix it with other oils like almond oil or coconut oil and apply on scalp an hour before having a bath. This pre conditioning treatment for hair works best if you have very dry or damaged hair.
* Dandruff Treatment: Castor oil with its emollient and anti inflammatory properties can help treat dandruff. Dandruff is a scalp condition with dry, itchy and flaky skin which can be avoided with regular massage of nourishing castor oil. 

How to use castor oil for hair growth?

Since castor oil has a very thick consistency it is best to mix it with other oils before application to hair. using only castor oil on hair can lead them getting weighed downs and becoming too greasy. I recommend mixing equal quantities of castor oil and coconut oil with a few drops of rosmary essential oil for a nourishing hair oil mix which smells amazing .
With coconut oil I always apply it in night and wash off in the morning but since castor oil is cooling properties it tends to give me a runny nose so I apply it only 2 hours before shampooing.

How Often should you use castor oil for Hair growth?
Applying castor oil to hair twice a week is enough to help with hair growth. Many women i know also apply this oil one a month and have got the desired results. Applying castor oil daily is fine but not really needed as it can end up making your hair greasy and lead to over shampooing which will in turn harm your scalp more.

Tips and precautions to follow while using castor oil:

  • Always do a patch test to check for allergies on your inner arm before applying any new oil.
  • When buying castor oil look for words like organic, pure and cold pressed on the label.  
  • Castor oil is known to help induce labour so it is not safe for consumption during pregnancy. 
  • Castor oil is very thick can be very difficult to wash off from hair. It is best to mix castor oil with other oils like almond or coconut oil before application to hair.
  • With natural treatments and ingredients results are never instant. So please be patient and results will follow although many women see reduction in hair fall after just 3 applications of castor oil.
