What are the benefits of castor oil for hair
Castor oil (castor oil) is a viscous, light liquid with a slight specific odor. It contains valuable fatty acids used in cosmetology - linoleic, palmitic, oleic, ricinoleic, which are included in the composition of face creams and hair care products. About its magical effect on the hair, it was still known to the beauties of Ancient Egypt. They cajoled their hair, which made it stronger, thicker and shinier. "Kiki" - that is what Egypt called castor oil.
When applied, it is absorbed into the scalp and hair without forming a greasy film. During exposure to the mask, the oil penetrates deep into the hair follicle, filling it with nutrients, and is absorbed into the hair structure, gluing scales, from which the curls become smooth and strong. Castor oil is an effective tool in the fight against brittleness, dullness, hair loss. It relieves dandruff, heals the scalp from excessive dryness or greasiness. Do not give up castor masks if you do not like the smell of oil. For a more pleasant aroma, add 2-3 drops of any essential oils to the mixture - pine, grapefruit, pink, lavender, etc.
