Are you planning to get bouncy hair and flawless skin the natural way? Are you a strict follower of home remedies for skin and hair treatments? If this is so, then you have a great product to treat your skin and hair ailments and get rewarded with healthy glowing skin and hair. The thick yellow readily available castor oil is that medicine that can treat your skin and problems in the most affordable and natural way. Here is why you should use the age old castor oil to get beautiful in a simple way.

Castor oil for hair:

1. Promotes hair growth: Castor oil is rich in Vitamin E, Omega-6 fatty acids, and proteins. Massage lukewarm castor oil on scalp and hair strands to enhance blood circulation in the scalp area and faster hair growth. For best results, mix castor oil with coconut oil, meethi seeds, and olive oil. Leave it overnight and apply the mixture twice a week to see the wonder. Proper application of castor oil also encourage new hair growth.

2. Fights scalp infection: Castor oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that treat several scalp infections including dandruff. Mix castor oil with olive oil and lemon juice and apply the mixture to treat dandruff. This simple homemade mask not only clears off dandruff, but also nourishes the hair, leaving it strong and healthy. Castor oil can also be applied on scalp to treat bald patches.

3. Gives shiny, thick healthy hair: Castor oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acid, which when massaged on the scalp and hair strands, moisturizes and conditions hair. Warm castor oil is in fact a natural conditioner that makes hair thick, soft, healthy, and shiny. It gives the required nourishment to your hair.

4. Prevents split ends: Apply castor oil on the ends of hair strands to get rid of split ends. It avoids dryness, breakage of strands, and leaves the ends soft yet strong. Before going for any chemical based ‘split-end remedies’, try this natural therapy at home.

5. Thickens eyebrows: Those who are fed up with thin scanty eyebrows, can go for a simple ‘castor oil’ therapy. Dip the tip of a cotton ear bud in castor oil and it gently and thoroughly over the eyebrow area. Regular application of castor oil on eyebrows overnight will make it dense and strong. You can then go for a usual threading.
