A castor oil hair mask is a natural hair treatment that has been used for centuries to promote hair growth, reduce hair loss, and improve hair health. Castor oil is a thick, viscous oil that is derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant. It is rich in fatty acids, including ricinoleic acid, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Castor oil hair masks are easy to make and apply. Simply mix a few tablespoons of castor oil with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil. Apply the mixture to your hair and scalp, and cover your hair with a shower cap. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes to an hour, then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
