How to Use Castor Oil for Hair (Grow Beautiful Hair Fast)Katie - Wellness Mama 536 Comments Updated: January 11, 2018 This post contains affiliate links I’ve been experimenting a lot with Castor Oil lately as a natural beauty remedy. I already use it in my oil cleansing blend each day, and I’m enjoying the results from using castor oil packs on my skin. Months ago, a friend mentioned that she loved castor oil for hair and eyelashes. I was really skeptical because castor oil has a very thick and sticky consistency that I couldn’t imagine using in hair. I did some research and found out that I had been seriously missing out on a simple and really effective traditional beauty remedy… Benefits of Castor Oil for Hair and SkinCastor oil is an age old beauty treatment that has been largely replaced over time by fancier beauty products with more ingredients and a bigger price tag. Castor oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and is high in Vitamin E, minerals, proteins, and Omega 6 and 9 beneficial fatty acids. Its unusually high ricinoleic acid ratio makes it beneficial to skin and hair. In fact, castor oil has traditionally been used topically for acne and other skin conditions, as well as hair loss, rashes and more. If you want to try it for skincare, I recommend this handcrafted castor oil cleansing blend. What Does Castor Oil Do for the Hair?Castor oil can be used on the scalp to help prevent and remedy hair loss and it is effective at this for several reasons. It’s antibacterial and anti fungal properties make it beneficial against follliculitus, dandruff and scalp infections and its ricinoleic acid content helps increase circulation to the scalp and improve hair growth. Ricinoleic acid is also said to help balance scalp pH which can also help replenish the scalp’s natural oils and undo some of the damage of harsh chemical hair products (and even damage from no-poo, due to over alkalinity). The antioxidants in castor oil also support the keratin in hair and help make hair stronger, smoother and less frizzy. “Three Times the Growth!”There are hundreds of testimonials from people who used castor oil to increase their hair growth 3-5x the normal rate. A friend of mine was struggling with postpartum hair loss and even once her hair loss slowed, regrowing her hair was difficult. She measured her hair growth for a month and it grew almost half an inch. The next month, after using castor oil hair treatments twice a week, her hair had grown almost 2 inches. She tested this again the following month and noticed the same result and that her hair was dramatically thicker. What Type of Castor Oil for Hair?There are several options for castor oil hair treatments. I prefer to make my own, but there are some pre-made options (this is a good one that I’ve tried in the past). To make my own, I mix castor oil with another hair-healthy oil (options listed below) and herbs to help support scalp health. Unrefined and cold pressed hexane free castor oil is preferred. Castor oil is extremely thick and viscous so I prefer to mix with jojoba or argan oil in a glass dropper bottle for easy application. Jamaican Black Castor Oil:There is a special type of castor oil called Jamaican Black Castor oil that has extremely good reviews. I tried it as well and it seemed to work about the same as regular castor oil on my hair, but it seems that it might provide additional benefit for those with thick or dry hair (my hair is fine/oily). How to Use Castor Oil Treatments on HairCastor oil can be very beneficial for hair growth if used correctly. Small amounts of plain oil can be used for an all-over treatment. Like many things in life, more is not always better, and only a few drops are needed per treatment. The additional oils are completely optional. I personally use this castor oil 1-2x per week. It can be used more often, though I didn’t see any increased results with using it daily. When to UseI’ve found that this treatment works better on damp but not wet hair. I keep a spray bottle of water in the bathroom and just spritz my roots before applying. For maximum benefit, I leave the treatment on for several hours or overnight. After applying, I use a shower cap or towel to avoid getting the oil on furniture or a pillow. How to Remove the OilRemoving the castor oil can be difficult, especially with natural shampoos. I’ve found that using a small amount and leaving it on overnight will result in most of the oil absorbing into the hair and scalp and make cleanup easier. In fact, I’ve been able to dry shampoo and not wash on a few occasions. When I do shampoo, I use a natural shampoo or mud shampoo as normal. An alternate way is to crack an egg and whisk until smooth and then massage the egg into the scalp. This helps break down the oil and adds additional nutrients to the hair. It is messy though, so I’d recommend doing this in the shower. Another less-messy way is to condition your hair before getting in the shower, massaging conditioner into the scalp to help remove the castor oil. Then, shampoo as usual. Important Notes:With any new oil, herb or product, test a tiny amount on your inner arm to make sure you don’t have a reaction to castor oil. While reactions are rare, some people will notice irritation from castor oil. I’ve also used this in combination with my hair growth serum with great results (I use the serum first to dampen hair, then apply the castor oil) It is also important to support the body nutritionally and hormonally with hair loss, as this can often be a sign of an internal problem. BONUS TIP: I rub a tiny amount of castor oil on my eyelids at night to help eyelash growth as well. It is also part of my eyelash growth serum recipe. Castor Oil Hair Serum RecipeFinding your best combination of oils (or castor oil alone) will require some experimentation and I’d love to hear what you find works best for you. My favorite mix is: Castor Oil Instructions
Note: This will make enough for 5+ uses depending on the length of your hair. If you’re not a fan of using caster oil, some people have found coconut oil for hair to be a better fit. My Own Results with Castor Oil…Last year, when I was under extreme stress for a short period of time (finishing my book *ahem*), I noticed increased hair loss. My Hashimoto’s makes me more susceptible to hair loss when I’m under stress, and I was stressed about my hair loss (vicious cycle). To combat this, I experimented with natural castor oil treatments both alone and mixed with other oils. I too noticed that my hair seemed stronger and that there was definitely less hair in my brush each day after a few weeks of castor oil treatments. Additionally, I started seeing tiny new hairs all around my hair line. I split my head open when I was younger, requiring 8 staples in my scalp. Where the scar is, I have a patch of super-curly hair that falls in a perfect ringlet, even though the rest of my hair is wavy/straight. The castor oil seemed to help make this hair patch smoother, though it grew at a faster rate than the rest of my hair. Now, I’ve made these castor oil hair treatments a regular part of my weekly routine and often do them at night, while wearing my blue blocker glasses and reading or watching a movie with my hubby.

Garcinia Cambogia pills have shown to replace fat with toned strong muscles and also giving you a better mood on the whole when you have been pushed to that stress corner in life. However, Garcinia Cambogia extract pills are usually not preferred as a supplement as they lead to health complications such a toxicity of the body.

Garcinia Cambogia Reviews and Research StudiesA study was done by the students of University Science Malaysia on the existing study of Garcinia Cambogia – weight loss. They showed that the presence of Hydroxycitric acid when consumed by rat specimens did show an increase in satiety levels in them but this was not conclusive in the case of human beings. No positive results were noted [7] Likewise, an experimental model created by the research department of Food and Nutrition in Seoul where rats who were already on a high-fat diet when treated with garcinia extract pills showed a decrease in weight and there was an increase in their fat metabolism [8]. On the contrary, when garcinia cambogia pills were subjected to mice and humans both experienced an increase in their metabolic rates. A 12- week random, double- blind, placebo controlled trial conducted by the Columbia University found out that the garcinia supplements did not have any effect on the body weight of the Garcinia group. Though the control and the garcinia group were placed in the same diet of high fiber, low energy diet, there were not much of differences in weight loss seen. Therefore, with the above mentioned study, it was concluded that Garcinia is a no green signal for weight loss. [9] .

On an Ending Note…Garcinia for weight loss may have created a lot of hype in the society, but with proven studies, the Garcinia Cambogia weight loss results are often to the minutest and rarely lived up to the expectations. This could be a bummer, you still need to hit the gym and work yourself out for a quick weight loss :/ And before you start with any supplements, make it a point to consult your physician to know whether it’s worth a try or better avoidable!

Plz ans me as soon as possible There are numerous companies which sell Garcinia extracts but are dubious in nature. As mentioned in our blog, whenever you are browsing through garcinia supplements, you have to carefully check the labels for the percentage of hydroxycitric acid (HCA, the active weight loss ingredient) and the place of production. You can weed out fake products like this. Having said so, an excess of HCA can also lead to toxicity. Weight loss is a combined result of a healthy balanced diet and active lifestyle. Dietary supplements simply complement the process but don’t influence it big time. Since you are having diabetes and are overweight, a thorough analysis of your dietary intake is required. Based on the food intake and other medical conditions, weight loss can be done.

Vitamin D in a liquid and a capsule contain the same form of this important nutrient, vitamin D3, which is the type of vitamin D that the body produces naturally. The difference between liquids and capsules lies in their physical format, how they are taken in by the body and their daily dose. Whether you take a liquid or capsule vitamin D supplement is a personal preference. Outlined below are some of the benefits of these products and what type of individual they may suit. Liquid vitamin DLiquid vitamin D is essentially vitamin D3 in a liquid format.

What supplements do I need to build muscle?Some of the best supplements to use if you are trying to build muscle include Whey Protein Powder, Creatine, Multivitamins and Fatty Acids. However, it is important to remember that taking supplements is just a small part of any workout and exercise program. A proper diet and balanced exercise program is just as, if not more, important that any supplement that can be taken. Will taking supplements helps offset a poor diet or exercise program?No. No matter what supplements you take, if you do not balance it with other parts of a proper diet and exercise, there will be no visible results. Nutritional and dietary supplements are ideal to serve as an addition to a diet. In most cases, these supplements are best help offset any deficiency that you may have. For example, someone who spends a large amount of time indoors may be best served by taking a vitamin D supplement because of a lack of exposure to the sun. It is best to discuss your intentions with a physician or other health care and medical professional, such as a nutritionist, before taking any supplements. Especially one you have never taken before! Should I consume extra protein to try to build muscle?An error that is commonly made by individuals is to take too many protein supplements and taking them too often. Protein is available in many different formats, and they are easy to consume and just as easy to eat too much. When you are deficient in nutrients, supplementing it in one way or another is important. But when you supplement nutrients with processed foods, such as protein bars, you are consuming additives that are made to make the product last longer. These additives, which can include oils and corn syrup, are not natural and present a challenge for the body to digest. When a body cannot digest certain ingredients, it instead can be stored away as fat, which is not an ideal outcome. Any form of nutritional supplement that contains protein, such as a protein bar or shake, should not serve as a substitute for the protein that occurs naturally in certain meats, fruits and vegetables. By ensuring that you eat a balanced diet, you can not only get the protein your body needs but all the other vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are help you maintain a healthy body and lifestyle. What vitamins and minerals will help me grow muscles?Perhaps the most important vitamin that you can take if you are looking to increase your muscle mass is vitamin D. This vitamin is regulated by the FDA because too much of it can lead to vitamin D toxicity. The bottom line is that supplements are not required in order for you to build muscle. Rather, a balanced diet, an efficient and effective exercise program, and the ability to control the intake of sugary food can all help you build muscle. There are many different supplements on the market today, and a large number of them have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign promoting them to individuals. While it is very easy to get caught up in the promises of nutritional supplements, it is more effective to speak to a medical professional and determine what is best for you.

How to Use Peppermint Oil for Hair GrowthPeppermint oil is an essential oil that has been adopted for the treatment for scalp conditions for years. Many people have been using it for its healing and rejuvenating powers as a remedy for dry scalp, oily scalp and, yes, peppermint oil for hair growth. How peppermint oil worksPeppermint oil penetrates deep within the hair follicles and stimulates circulation. The increased blood flow oxygenates the hair follicles and stimulates growth. Additionally, peppermint oil is an astringent cleaner, so peppermint oil clears the pores allowing your scalp to breath, bringing even more scalp-healing and rejuvenating oxygen to your hair’s follicles. How to use peppermint oil for hair growthPeppermint oil is a very strong derivative. Consequently, people with sensitive scalps may want to dilute it before using. One way of doing so is by mixing it with water or carrier oil. This will dilute the peppermint oil’s strength and reduce the chances of it burning your scalp. At any rate, never apply peppermint oil to your scalp full strength. Talk about Oils and our FORUM Thread!Mixing with almond oilAlmond oil itself is rich, natural oil known for its health benefits, both as a food and as a topical solution. It is a natural emollient and when mixed with peppermint oil its rejuvenating properties are magnified. Since peppermint oil is so powerful, however, it only takes a couple of drops to turn a few ounces of almond oil into a hair-growing mixture. Mix the two ingredients are thoroughly in a glass jar before using. For best results, part the hair so that the mixture can be applied directly to the scalp. Applying it to the hair like a tonic will not work since most of it would probably be absorbed by the hair. Once the hair is parted, apply the liquid to the scalp and rub it in so that it penetrates down to the hair follicles. Repeat the process by parting the hair into small sections so that the mixture can reach the entire scalp. Mixing with jojoba oilto use peppermint oil with jojoba oil, mix two drops of peppermint oil into a glass jar containing about four tablespoons of jojoba oil. Again, peppermint oil is very strong so it doesn’t take much. In the meantime, boil one cup of water; you’ll need it to warm the mixture. Seal the lid tightly on the jar containing the mixture and, once the water comes to a boil remove it from the heat and sit the jar in it and let stand for ten minutes. While you’re waiting, take the opportunity to wet your hair. When ready, comb the mixture thoroughly into your hair and wrap with a towel. Leave the towel on for about 20 minutes before removing. The peppermint/jojoba mixture will leave your hair with a healthy shine and your scalp will feel so cool, all while promoting hair growth. Mixing with coconut oilWhen using coconut oil to dilute the peppermint oil, it is important that you use only 100% coconut oil. Mix thoroughly in a bowl and apply to the scalp. Again, you’ll feel the cooling sensation of the peppermint, but, leave it in for a couple of hours before washing. Afterwards, use a conditioner to help re-invigorate your hair if you like. Mixing with olive oilWith this remedy, the ratio of peppermint oil is much larger. This is due, in part to the fact that you don’t exactly douse your scalp with the mixture. Instead, you simply dab your fingertips into it and use them to massage your scalp. The tingling sensation is still there, however, so you know it is working. Mix one teaspoon of peppermint oil with two teaspoons of olive oil in a small bowl. As usual, mix thoroughly before using. Apply to the scalp with the fingertips as you would while giving yourself a scalp massage. Wait for 20 minutes before washing, and then use a conditioner. Mixing with castor oilWhen mixing peppermint oil with castor oil, the ratio increases again. So, for best results, use an applicator bottle. Mix 2-3 drops of peppermint oil into 3-4 ounce of castor oil and shake well. Part the hair and use the applicator bottle to apply the mixture directly to the scalp. The healing and rejuvenating properties of the castor oil complements the peppermint oil nicely and promotes hair growth while re-invigorating the scalp. Mixing with aloe vera oilHeretofore, we have been discussing how to mix peppermint oil with pre-extracted carrier oils. Now, the subject becomes a little more complicated because in this example we’ll be showing you how to extract the oil from the aloe vera before using it in consort with the peppermint oil. Nevertheless, some pulp will probably remain, but that’s okay. When you’re finished, use your fingertips to apply the mixture evenly to the roots and scalp. Again, rub in like you would with a massage until it penetrates the scalp. Let set for about 30 minutes, wash and follow up with a conditioner. Talk about Oils and our FORUM Thread!The benefits of using peppermint oil for hair growth results in a thicker fuller head of hair. You’ll probably be amazed at the results and wonder why you hadn’t thought of using peppermint before. These are just some of the ways in which peppermint oil can be applied to your scalp to effect and promote hair growth. Only the carrier oils are different, the key ingredient, peppermint oil, is the same. So, the conclusion drawn from this is that no matter how you apply it, peppermint oil will help regrow hair.

To avoid added fragrance and dyes, look for 100% pure aloe vera gel. It’s available at most pharmacies and health food stores. You have to get the raccoon eyes off somehow, but many makeup removers contain harsh chemicals that are very drying to your skin, says Ildi Pekar, founder of an eponymous skin care line. She recommends you squeeze a dollop of pure aloe gel onto a cotton ball and swipe away the day for a simple and effective alternative. (Here are 5 ways to keep raccoon eyes at bay in the first place!) You may unsubscribe at any time. In-the-know beauty buffs swear by pure aloe as the perfect shaving cream: It’s antibacterial, which is great for nicks; it’s slippery, allowing for a nice close shave; and it moisturizes, too. You can use it on its own, or combine with other nourishing ingredients for a more luxe (but still DIY) product. Grab an ice cube tray, fill with aloe gel, and freeze. Pop them out and store in a freezer safe container. “These little frosty fellows are great after too much sun exposure, run-ins with your stove, bug bites, poison ivy, and even psoriasis,” says Corene Hejl, owner of beauty company feedmyskin. “At our house we call it the boo-boo pop!” (Check out 9 more completely genius uses for your ice cube tray.) Here's are the ABCDE's of skin cancer: Is there anything it can’t do? Mix 1 Tbsp aloe vera gel with 1 tsp almond milk, and 1 tsp lemon, wash and let sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Since some minerals found in aloe are antibacterial, this face wash is ideal for sensitive skin, breakouts, and rosacea, says Pekar. Need an anti-aging boost? Mix 1 Tbsp aloe with 1 tsp 100% raw organic coconut oil, massage into hands until the contents are warm, then wash and rinse. It’s not the most pleasant part of grooming, but exfoliation is important if you want to reveal glowing, fresh skin. Aloe is a great base for a homemade scrub because it helps soften your skin and supply oxygen to your cells, strengthening the tissue to create vibrant skin, says Pekar. Mix 1/2 cup of aloe with just enough brown sugar or baking soda to get a gritty (but not sharp) texture. Then rub it on your elbows, heels, arms, or wherever else needs softening in the shower. Come a little closer…no, actually—don’t. When bad breath hits, drink up to 1/4 cup pure aloe vera gel dissolved in a 1/2 cup of water or apple juice, suggests herbalist Letha Hadady, author of Healthy Beauty. Aloe vera contains an anti-inflammatory compound called B-sitosterol that soothes acid indigestion, a common cause of bad breath. But resist the urge to chug; in large doses, aloe vera can work like a laxative. In a literal twist on getting your beauty sleep, Tammie Umbel, founder of Shea Terra Organics, likes to blend pure aloe juice with three inches of cucumber and half an egg white for a hydrating mask you can wear to bed. (Love masks? Here are 5 more DIY masks for glowing skin!) We love a strong brow (step away from those tweezers!) but tidiness is key. Dip a clean mascara wand in some aloe vera gel and sweep over stray brows for serious stay-put power without getting hard or sticky. And if you did go overboard with the tweezing, Hejl swears by this recipe: “Mix one part aloe gel with one part castor oil. It seems to help over-plucked eyebrows grow in faster.” Petra Strand, creator of Pixi Beauty, incorporates this ultimate green beauty ingredient into a foot mask that makes dry, cracked feet baby soft. Mix together 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup corn meal, 4 Tbsp aloe vera gel, and 1/2 cup unscented body lotion and rub all over tired feet until well exfoliated. Sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. (Check out more secrets for pretty feet all year round.) Sick of your hand sanitizer drying out your hands? Mix 1/2 cup aloe vera gel, 1/4 cup alcohol, and 20 drops of your favorite essential oil and pour into a spritz bottle. “The alcohol fights germs while the aloe soothes your skin,” says Katz. To use, spritz once and rub between hands. pvn-left.pngpvn-gift-guide-488x290-rev.pngAre you sure you want to log out?If you are the only person using this device, there’s no need to log out.
