I used the moisturizing Head & Shoulders shampoo for almost a year (up until they changed their package, turns out they changed the formula too) and my hair was living for it, it was past my bum
I don't know about hair, but I do know from own experience and also from my friend's experience that if you put castor oil on your eyelashes ( with clean mascara brush) every single evening before bed and leave it on, in around 1 month time your eyelashes will become really long and beautiful and will look like false eyelashes, as they will be so long.
@@researchscholar2424 it doesn't matter what age, the only problem is that it's not a permanent fix, if you stop using it for a month your hair thicknesses/length goes back to normal
Yes!!! I can confirm this. I filled a little tube with castor oil and a few rosemary leaves and after curling my eyelashes, I put It on almost everyday instead of mascara and my lashes have grown a lot!! I don't think they look fuller coz well genetics, I don't have a lot of hair in my body, but lenght, yes!
As per Ayurveda, we use in our family Castor oil will be used during warm months and Coconut Oil in Cool months. We soak fenugreek seeds overnight and blend it next morning and apply it as a hair pack. We never use hair shampoos instead of that we wash our hair with Soapnuts(3) soaked overnight in a mug, just squeeze it you will see lather (natural shampoo). Finally, dry the wet hair with smoke coming from Sambrani incense (Benzoin Resin) in a Sambrani holder. That is why Indian women never experience any hair problems even in their old age.
I always had thin hair and lacked eyebrows, but taking omega3 really helped me. After 2 months of taking it my eyebrows filled in and I started getting baby hair on my forhead line where I never had baby hair. I really reccommend it
@@AnnaEvanz could please tell what kind do you take? and how long until I see the effects? I've been looking for something for years now because of my hair loss
I sleep really late like average 4am for a whole year, and now I have intense hair loss and I’m crying😭😭I’m used to being praised by having thick and shiny hair but now it’s just thin and grassy hair😭😭SLEEP EARLY LADIES!!
@@strawberrytiramisu your doctor does not have the best interest in your hair. When I use to use head and shoulders I could literally feel it burning my scalp.
@@Anothervictim87 I dont really wash my hair much because its curly so it takes a while to get oily/need to be washed. When I use head and shoulders it makes my scalp feel kinda refreshed. However I do also use a medicated scalp oil so that could be why lmao.
i have seen that the density of my hair has shown good improvement since I started applying litleextra reactiavatte hair serum. I had areas where my hair was thin, but they are filling in nicely now.
I've been using castor oil for a few years, first on its own on my bald spots and now as a hair mask (castor oil+vitamin E+aloe vera gel). I've always had fine hair and not much of it but this helped me a lot. I also got rid of regular shampoos and switched to natural products. Currently, I use Indian hair powders and I feel it's really good for my hair/scalp.
@@sarafa912 Yes, the castor oil and then the hair mask (which is even better for my hair at least) thickened my hair. It's a long process, though. Still worth it, IMHO.
@@ayaalmandalawy1490 I used to apply it twice a week (I suffer from oily scalp/hair so twice was enough for me), but I do not see any harm in applying it every night. I'd say... try it and see if it suits your lifestyle/hair needs and adjust as needed. 😊
Dude, I did my first castor oil treatment yesterday and I let me tell you... I had to shampoo three times with my regular shampoo to remove all the grease. Next time Imma try with Head n Shoulders just like her and see how it goes, cuz I always keep a bottle in case I need to remove any oil/product buildup
@@Nutellix okay yeah castor oil is reeeaaally thick but instead of using h&s to wash it off, mix the castor oil with coconut oil and it makes it easier to rinse out
@@TinaTomato hi In lockdown due to anxiety I’ve cultivated a very very *wrong* habit I pluck my hair. From the roots directly And this happens only in unconscious mind (it’s like biting nails/ popping pimple) So rn I’m having half baldness Meaning my *50%hair* has vanished But yk they say it’s *NEVER TOO LATE TO START* so do u got any tips on how I overcome the prob (Lmao don’t tell -stop plucking as simple as that) Cause it’s not simple. Nothing is.
Yes! Castor oil has helped both my hair and my eyelashes. On my hair and scalp sometimes I mix with sweet almond or coconut oil because castor oil is so thick and sticky. Also, I have used diluted apple cider vinegar to rinse the oil away prior to shampooing. Just an idea that works for me!
It definitely made a difference! Thanks for spending so much of your free time to do this experiment for us. I’m going to share this video with my friend who has thinning hair.
Hair only grows about 1/2 inch per month for the average person so if it grew a whole inch that’s incredible growth! It looks much fuller and with more volume.
I would recommend trying a more natural shampoo! I used head n shoulders for years and had horrible dandruff thinking that it was helping, I've switched shampoos for the last year and my scalp is so much healthier and no longer too dry/oily. (I used Lush shampoo/conditioner bars and Neutrogena tgel!)
@@priscilaamador338 Ahh i'm from uk so we don't have target, but i'll look for it elsewhere and try it when my other products have run out! Thanks for the suggestion.
I used head and shoulders waaayy too long because I thought the dandruff was my biggest reason for my hair not growing back. Ive had hormone testing done but my thin hair is 100% genetic. I switched to natural shampoo and conditioner bars that contain 0 alcohol from an online company called Earthingco. I've used it for 2 months now every day or sometimes every other day (I have oily hair next day) and I have no dandruff anymore. My scalp feels refreshed and I have lots of baby hairs now. I feel more confident and know I will never go back to bottled shampoo. I'm definitely going to try castor oil again with this now as it didn't seem effective with the chemical filled shampoos.
Hey girly! Make sure you’re wrapping your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf/bonnet or use a silk or satin pillow case if you don’t wanna do the whole scarf thing. If you choose a bonnet, flip it inside out so that your hair especially the hair line doesn’t get caught up in the elastic. I say scarf or bonnet cos it will keep all of the oil from getting on your face and everywhere else you don’t want it, and protect your tresses regardless of your hair texture. Ditch the head and shoulders shampoo that shampoo Destroyed my hair and find something more gentle. Aussie Moist is good and Creme of Nature and won’t break the bank. Garnier Fructis has good shampoos and conditioners too they won’t strip your hair. JBCO is a good oil but if you find it too heavy you can add something like Avocado oil which is also good for hair. If you haven’t already get your vitamin levels check especially for vitamin d and iron. You can also try things like MSM powder with vitamin c. MSM tends to thicken up hair in some ppl at least that’s been the experience I’ve had and my hair was very thin especially hairline. If you go the MSM route, start off slow and then build up to the max dosage to see how and if your body reacts. Have to get the inside right to get the maximum results on the outside. Helped me out a ton! I had traction alopecia from wearing extensions and lace fronts glued down for years and I gained back most of my edges/hairline. I know our hair textures are different, but some things cross over when it comes to hair care. There are probably many things from the natural hair community that you can try and it just might work. We’re sisters no matter what our ethnicity is and we can grow and learn from one another. Happy Hair journey sister ❤️
Most people grow a quarter of an inch in a month. An entire inch is very encouraging. This would be a great idea for someone growing out a bad haircut or bangs.
I've been using the reactivate serum from liiitlextra for the past month and completely switched from my previous serum for the past two months. It's working wonderfully. I just apply it once every day with the spray pump that comes with the serum. It's very simple to apply, non greasy, and without any scent. The hair growth is so far so good, and it's only 1 month only and I will keep to apply it.
reactttivate hair serum when used nightly for a couple of months did the job for me, yet for my brother, it took longer like about 3 months. I have no idea why!
For thick hair do the following: 1-use coconut oil (don't use castor oil in pure form dilute it with coconut oil) 2-at night braid your hairs. 3-add 1tea spoon mixture of fenugreek, mustard,carry leaves powder in your food every day.(mix all powders and USB 1teaspoon from it) 4-have health diet. *Follow this you will have thick, shiny and long hair.*
@@michelleu7516 I think you should ideally do both.. In India, we add mustard and fenugreek in many of the common food items. Even curry leaves. You can soak fenugreek overnight, grind it into a paste and apply it on your hair. If you have dry hair, you could add some coconut milk too. This once a week for a month would definitely bring good result.
@@michelleu7516 hiii,I add this ingredients in powder form in my everyday meal(just mix all ingredients ,make powder,n add tea spoon while you cook daily in meal).And I also make oil of fenugreek, mustard and curry leaves PROCESS to make OIL:- just take 100gram of each ingredient and add in 500ml parachute coconut oil or coconut oil you love,boil it at low flame with this ingredients about 15-20mins,keep stirring it. Cool it and strain. You can use this oil for2-3 months by keeping it at room temperature. Direction : massage this oil at night and braid your hair .keep at least 11-12hour on scalp. You can keep for 2days if you r ok . Do try this ,n reply.
I mix Indian sesame oil and some essential oils - lavender, rose geranium, peppermint, tea tree, lime, orange, grapefruit, clary sage etc and use it approx once a week. With a stressful divorce and move to the other side of the country over the last 10 years my hair went grey and then thinned left & right. The grey and thinning recovered on the right and now the oil mix is fixing the very thin spot on the left. : ) Stick with it.
@@abidee2574 Hi Abi I have just gone through the tub. Also: Argan, rose hip (different purpose to rose geranium), rosemary, eucalyptus - plus: lavender, peppermint, tea tree, lime, orange, grapefruit, clary sage. A few drops of each. More of the nutritional oils and a touch of the stronger ones. Good luck with it. : )
9:56 there's a big difference in your hair volume and shine! A couple tips: Warm up the castor oil before use, and massage it through the ends of your hair. Use a different shampoo, head and shoulders sometimes creates dandruff (I use biolage!)
I think your hair definitely looks bouncier, has more body to it after the castor oil experiment. I agree with what everybody else is saying about head and shoulders shampoo. I researched it a long time ago and all I remember is that it's kind of brutal on the hair and scalp. I've been using castor oil on my eyelashes for about two months and I honestly can't tell any difference. I haven't wanted to use on my scalp because I don't really want to wash my hair anymore than every two days but after watching this video, I may start applying it once or twice a week. Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍🏼😄
My hair was thinning due to stress before and just bad hair care in general. What really helped me was learning about my hair type, going from daily washes to twice a week or as needed, co-washing, or using as little shampoo as possible, deep conditioning, and using oils on my hair (I use argan oil). Now my hair is stronger and healthier. Of course hair fall is normal but not as excessive as before. Good luck on your hair journey!
@@ksilofo it was too greasy for me and it was just uncomfortable to have it in. I use Topikk micro hair fiber powder to make my hair look more full. It makes me feel less insecure and it looks natural. Look into that if you want but it doesn’t grow hairs.
Tina! I think that the head and shoulders shampoo is the one causing your scalp to be very oily. Last year I had the same experience, I've always had a normal oiliness on my scalp and after using head and shoulders for a few months I started experiencing excessive oiliness and even dandruff problems. Every 1 day after washing my hair, it would get very oily and dirty, so I washed it almost every day. Then my mom recommended me using another shampoo and washing it every two days or so. She was totally right! Cleaning your hair every day causes it to produce more oil to balance the dryness. Also the head and shoulders shampoo is really aggressive to oily and sensitive scalps. I recommend to anyone who's having the same problems to use a different shampoo (according to your hair type) and not cleaning it every single day, only when you need to. Also, english is not my first language, hope it was clear anyways :)❤️
Paella OldTown yesssss thats so trueeee, i even get bald for heald&shoulders and my hair was so so oily, that i couldnt touch my head or be touch by anything cause that patch become so so oily omg PLEASE STOP USING IT
don't go to bed with wet hair, it will cause the scalp to dry more & produce excessive oil leading to dandruff and damaged hair shaft and use silk bonnet, castor oil on the lash line, eyebrows and face can cause comedones or milia. make sure to gently exfoilate with wash cloth to prevent.
@@chaillyliebowitz3095 it depends on your skin type. some people don't produce as much keratin and sebum so they don't get comodomes or millia. typically you exfoliate lightly using a wash cloth or a facial brush when washing your face at night before bedtime. i would use a clean unused pillow case and don't touch your face with your fingers, after applying. I developed millia around my eye and had to extract it myself because i used it every day. Maybe use it every other day. A bald spot on the scalp is different than your facial skin surface. Castor oil is really thick and not comedogenic. Sunflower or sesame oil is a nice alternative if your just needing thicker eyelashes and brows and not treating any bald spots. If your not vegan, make sure to include rich in protein and Vit D sources like milk, kefir, yoghurt, eggs, fish and mushrooms and cook your food in Olive oil, Sesame seed oil, Ghee or butter. Itll help your hair grow better from the inside -out. if you start to notice any bumps or acne after using castor oil on your face. stop using it and spot treat it with acne cream until it clears. Switch to a lighter oil. Hope it helps.
Castor oil is NOT comedogenic. Maybe it seems thick in texture but its molecules are really tiny so they can't clog your pores. That's why it's beautiful for problematic skin - mixed with grapeseed oil (2:1) is an excellent moisturizer and brightener.
I really like it and my hair looks fine. There are two versions, and one is safe for color treated hair. Its not drying like the regular version, but still has the Zinc Pyrithione. Says color safe on the front. When you have a flaky scalp any help is welcome, and H & S helps a lot.
@@bananasinpajamas9499 Amy shampoo with ketoconazole is good for dandruff, If you can get one with 2% of ketoconazole that would be ideal, but you can only use it 2 or 3 times a week for a month :)
If you haven't already tried it, Henna is a great option to make your hair feel thick and healthy. It comes in a bunch of reddish brown shades or even black (although the black one could contain a certain ingredient which you should avoid). Since you already have dark hair the color wouldn't show up too much and therefore shouldn't be a huge concern. More importantly if you do try it out, make sure to use a brand that is all natural and uses 100% henna and or cassia plant. I did it a while ago and It's made my hair feel and look noticeably thicker and glossy.
I agree. And it would be even better if she were to use a silk/satin bonnet to cover her hair at night: that way the oil would stay outta her face and not cause breakouts.
I didn't know that.My hair gets so frizzy and I hate it.Maybe I changed pillow case and plus I'm trying to grow my hair.I got jamaican black castor oil and cantu shea butter grow strong treatment to put on it together and I got nature's bounty gummies to take for my hair
Thank you so much for being so thorough and raw in your experiment and experience! I've experienced hair loss and have been looking for the most effective way to grow thicker hair.
mix warm water with a table spoon of lemon and some aloe Vera gel in a spray bottle and spray and rub it in your hair before washing it. it will clean the scalp
Am indian, and I use home made castor oil for growth and to maintain dark hair, so before applying warm it up a bit along with coconut oil it makes huge difference.
Thank you for taking the time to do this experiment in order for the rest of us to observe the results and make a decision whether or not to go ahead and try this. Not like many other presenters who give false information to the desperate people in this world watching videos hoping that their hair will grow thick and fast. No doubt their hair has grown more while months of watching videos. It's a matter of seeking out genuine information and ACTING upon it.
Take Biotin for great results. I’ve grown new layers of hair at 60 and we’ve finally convinced my friend’s daughter, who was virtually bald and very depressed, to take it. She now has hair. It’s cheap and the tablets are tiny. No mess. Also get your iron levels checked, a lot of young women don’t eat red meat these days and that can contribute to the problem. It’s really what you put in your body that helps. Pale skin and dull eyes can indicate deficiencies. Your inside health shows in your skin and hair. Young women should have glowing skin and bright eyes, if they don’t then they’re lacking nutrients.
There can be adverse effects though, just like any and all supplements. When I used a very highly reputable biotin supplement, I started getting cystic acne. Tried a lower dosage from a different company and still got it. Only use it if you need it and avoid super high doses unless you know you tolerate it well.
@@aartivedi7142 hey , you can use biotin from any brand. Jamieson makes tiny tablets of which u only need one a day. Also dont forget a high quality multivitamin. Quest, jamieson, Adrien gagnon are all local Canadian brands which i trust
Taking biotin for hair works if you do a blood test and have a deficiency, otherwise they dont do much but it's still worth a try. If your biotin levels are within range then the problem lies elsewhere, like PCOS (me) if its not age/genetics!
I’ve been a stylist for over 30 years as everyone said already stop using the head and shoulders. If you have dandruff use a shampoo by Nioxin called Scalp therapy. I use to love to sell Solve by Redken but they changed it. And only use it 2 times a week. The caster oil should help your dryness.
I use castor oil most of the times mixed with another solution of oils that I created. Agree your hair looks to have volume after 30 days if all is equal. Great 👍 job hair needs the right oil combination #teamcastoroil. Depends on how aggressive you want to see the difference long term would work it either once a week for your hair type and twice a month for mine.
Can you please tell me what oils you use for the mixture? I kinda have thin and fine hair and i really need your help to get more volume.. i'm 23 and been struggling with this hair problem for 7 years now..
@@mixx-n-match please make sure to check your diet and read any and all labels 🏷 on food and hair. What oils are you using? Im 100% natural hair products shampoo and conditioner. When at grocery store and hair salon anyone can catch me reading labels. So before I give please share how you eat Im a vegetarian but and try to balance acidic and alkaline foods although we should be more alkaline.
Your before and after is impressive. It’s definitely longer, it’s fuller, and looks a bit denser on the hairline. Castor Oil is GREAT for so many things. Hair growth is guaranteed! I’m glad that it helped. Keep going

If my hair grew an inch a month, I'd reach my goal length within six months--with a trim. I use a lot if natural stuff on my hair, including oils, biotin, and a satin sleep cap every night. There was a noticeable difference in just thirty days. Very cool.
Water softening filters for showers. Just in case you have hard water in your area. Reduces hair fall out, oilyness, and frizzyness. Oh, and scalp itchyness too. Plus your skin won't feel as dry in the winter.
Really what changed my hair best was taking biotin, using a water filter in the shower and not using hot tools. Oh and stop putting a ponytail in it. I tried castor oil and others as a overnight mask and oh yes it was awesome! But the other things showed more growth and the oil caused me to break out if it gets on my face too much.
I’m having that issue now ! I’m shoulder length hair and I keep it in a ponytail but seeing breakage, I don’t want to leave it down because it will rub collar and fabric and break anyway... 😢 any suggestions
@@krissieg7862 you can put it into a bun, but that can often be uncomfortable because of the weight on your head, so perhaps a French twist style? It is a protective style and works on shorter hair
If your hair is thin, it's probably because the oil is heavy and weighs down your hair. You can definitely try aloe vera like another person commented. It has water like consistency and very light. When I used it on my brows they grew very fast. Onion juice is also great for hair growth but has a smell if you can tolerate. If you mix aloe vera with castor oil it also helps lighten the consistency. Hope this helps!
I do castor oil with a carrier oil such as coconut or olive or a blend and add a few drops of essential oil.. tea tree and rosemary are great for cleansing and growth ❤️
I do it once a week (when I’m being religious) but probably more often like once every week or two but I dont think it would cause any harm to do it more often!
I would recommend to not use essential oils in the mix. Dermatologist agree that people can become sensitive to frangrance after long use and get rashes, drier skin ect.
@@cristals8340 Hm that's interesting I've never heard that about essential oil since it shouldn't have fragrance in it if you are buying pure oil. But with everything you should try a little and see how your body reacts... plus you should be diluting the oil in a carrier oil not putting the oil directly on your skin! Hope this helps!
Me! Went for a trim,the parlour lady chopped my 40cm long hair to a bob with ugly bangs....although I grew them back in 1.5 years. That was the last time a pair of scissors ever touched my hair. IT WAS THE LAST TYM I TRUSTED ANYONE EXCEPT MY MOM FOR MY HAIR!
I did, and I regretted it, but then I started using rice water, and that's when it started growing. Now it reaches my lower back. Another thing I do every three months or so is that I trim it( I cut about one centimeter or two, depends on if I have split ends or not) P.S. never trust anyone with your hair
I think putting that much castor oil on the hair and scalp is a bit much becouse how thick and viscous castor oil is and how hard it is to remove it. I just use a drop in a bottle with water and conditioner, shake it very well and pour it on my hair, after I used shampoo. Then I rinse with water and the results are amazingly moisturized, shiny hair and my scalp feels sooo good! But only use castor oil if you have dry scalp and hair! It worked wonders for my hair, nothing could keep it moisturized, I am so amazed!
several people have mentioned it already but from my experience of using Head&shoulders for more than 2 years. It's one of the harshest and strongest shampoos out there. It dries out the scalp as a result and ditching that brand was one of the good things I did for my hair.
Wow I can def see the difference in how your hair bounced more at the end of the 30 days. One thing I've heard about using oil for hair is that it's best absorbed into wet/damp hair since that is when the follicles are more open- wondering if you came across that info too in your research. Anyways, great video!
My hair is like this and I switched to sulfate free conditioning-shampoo (if it’s a shampoo that requires a separate conditioner-it always seemed to strip too many oils during the wash. So I prefer a combo for my hair). Once a month (maybe twice a month but too often isn’t good. It’s the same as taking too much of any vitamin) I use a flaxseed hair mask. This gives my hair an AMAZING feel and look. I use two cups of water, bring to a boil, add 1/2cup flaxseed. Simmer until you get a white froth/foam on the water and then strain. Use the gel that you strain from the seeds to gently rub through your scalp and hair. Let it sit for an hour. Then wash with a gentle sulfate free conditioning shampoo. DO NOT USE HEAT to dry your hair. Use cool air to dry and if you’re drying naturally, be sure to flip your hair around often to give it lift. Taking hair, skin, & nails vitamins and getting my hair cut with “textured” ends rather than layers also really helped me as well. Hope this helps someone! I wish you all well with finding what works best for you! 🙂
Vivi Lavi Oh hullo, I usually try to do it about once a month. But I’m flexible with it depending on if I feel like my hair needs the boost (or doesn’t). I actually got the recipe from RUclipsr alexandrasgirlytalk, but bc I don’t like to use shampoo that strips my natural oils, I tweaked the recipe so I wasn’t adding oils to my hair either. 🙂
Rosemary oil grows hair. In a head to head medical study, it performed as well as Rogaine with minoxidil and didn't cause itching like Rogaine. U may need a carrier oil for the Rosemary. Read about the medical journal study it's online & find out.😁
@@TinaTomato I've found that using witch hazel on a cotton ball really helps clean my face, too! It's amazing. For acne flares, I put a dab of clay facemask (kaolin clay has sulfur) on the pimple & sleep with it on overnight helps a lot, too! I think Acne free has a decent, inexpensive face mask that works fine. Also, u can put a dab of triple antioxidant ointment on just the blemish heals it, too! Just don't use it all over- only small areas. Just a dab. Look up Niacinamide online. The Ordinary sells a low cost bottle. Very good stuff! Paula's Choice has a $40-50 bottle at 20%. I've found it shrinks pores and makes the blackheads dissapear. Licorice root cream or serum is a nice skin brightener & anti inflammatory & anti redness product. Check 'um out, honey! Oh! Get your thyroid checked next time u go to the Dr & make sure your thyroid isn't the cause of hair loss. I know there are many things that can cause it.
I have autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia; they both can cause hair loss and thinning. Ck out hair toppers online. It may make u feel better while your hair grows out. I wish u the best! ❤👍😘
If you want to get the oil off easier you could try mixing it with another oil like a carrier oil, for instance argan oil? Also using too much castor oil will cause the opposite effect, a little goes a long way. Less is more here ❤ I'm also on a hair growth and strengthening journey so good luck to everyone else who is also doing the same!!
When you use castor oil on your eyelashes and eyebrows, it says it takes 6-8 weeks of daily application before you can really see a difference. So it could take a bit more time. I've also heard that it won't really multiply your hairs, but it will make it come in thicker and darker so it gives the impression of more hair. And stronger, so it can be more voluminous. I've used it sporadically (once a weekish) for a few months and some of my thinner spots in the front are growing back (I had a bad run-in with a haircare line for curly hair which burnt off my thinner hairs). I apply it hanging my head upside down so my hair shafts won't get in the way of the massage. Overall, it definitely works but it requires a bit of patience to see initial results. It does crazy stuff for my eyelashes though.
In our home, great results with lashes and brows in 30 days. Apply evenly, as lashes grow thicker wherever castor oil is applied the thickest. Also recommend cold pressed organic castor oil. Do not heat the oil. Warm it, if you must, but only warm the oil you are applying for your treatment. Oils lose their good properties easily, especially with heat exposure.

KnackeredNoodle Girl have you been to the doctors? Taken a blood test? Because one morning last year I woke up with a bald spot on the very top of my scalp and found out I had very low levels of iron. Been taking iron tablets every night for the last 8 months and I can see quite a bit of hair growing back which is a good sign.
I haven’t tried it on my hair, but y’all castor oil is not a joke. My sister would use it on her eyelashes and had to start waxing the top of her cheekbones because it would drip/smear down onto her face. Thanks for the video!!
Disclaimer: my sister is a hairy brown woman. She already had hair (not your average peach fuzz) on her cheekbones, as do I, but it became darker and thicker with the castor oil.

@@elizabethmiller7884 You make it with just rice and water. Soak about 1 Tbsp of rice in about 2-3 cups of water. Let that soak for about 1-2 days. Strain and then use in your hair. I usually add some hair conditioner to mine.
I lost my hair after baby. But now I finally find meds for my hair. I was sceptical when read reviews on azon but price was cheap so I try and now can't stop use it.

Baking soda and shampoo, mixed in your hand, will remove the greasy feeling of the castor oil. I do a castor oil treatment every two weeks overnight. I wear a disposable shower cap to contain the oil. I also use 2 towels, to protect my pillows.
flynn malin don’t use baking soda that often, you are definitely going to destroy your hair in the long run. It will get extremely dry and straw like. Baking soda is good for you if you use it literally twice a year :)
@@ElsieMarina I beg to differ with you. I have been following this protocol, since 1998, well over 22 years. My hair is. NOT like straw. It is very well-conditioned, and beautiful. I have been doing my own hair, and know what works for me. If your hair is like straw, you have failed to use a natural conditioner such as castor oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil. You can even use regular mayonnaise, to condition your hair. I started with mayo, every 2 weeks overnight, as described. The baking soda is used to remove the greasiness. It does not strip your hair, of being moisturized. After you shampoo with the baking soda and shampoo mixture, follow with your normal conditioner. Follow that, with your normal styling procedure. Your hair will be gorgeous.
@@flynnmalin just a tip. Try it.it works.first put shampoo on your hair and rub it in but WITHOUT any water. Then you step under the water and wash.all the oil will remove itself without using bicarbonate. Then you can put more shampoo for a second wash or conditioner.either way your oil is already gone.
I used caster oil mixed with coconut oil and almond oil from last 4 months .and their is a huge difference in thickness and length.yes caster oil works .

Based on the microscope images, it appears that you have seborrheic dermatitis along the front of your hair line. This can be observed by slight redness and sebum deposits. Conversely, the mid scalp appears white and healthy. The hairs appear finer at the frontal hairline, indicative that the sebum buildup might be leading to temporary hair fall. I would recommend getting a prescription for a 2% ketoconazole shampoo. The Head and Shoulders shampoo might be too drying leading to greater oil production. Some over the counter shampoos that work well for seborrheic dermatitis would be Tgel or Free and Clear shampoo 2% Pyrithione Zinc. Be careful with the use of castor oil. This could potentially lead to hair fall considering that you might have seborrheic dermatitis. The oil can clog up the follicles making it hard for the hair to grow. My recommendation to consult with a dermatologist so that you can have a proper treatment. Natural products can work for people who do not have any scalp conditions but be cautious.
Rex L if you’re speaking of pure oil can be irritating and if it’s processed hexane absolutely do not use this on your skin.... so not... it’s not if it’s processed properly. ✌🏻🥳
The problem is you used a mix of castor oil and coconut oil coconut oil tends to clog the pores and doesn't suit oily scalp + how will you know which oil helped? Why didn't you try 100% pure castor oil? In addition: you're using H&S which is filled with silicones and mineral oil that again clog the pores and builds up on the scalp.
I use castor oil with coconut oil as the carrier oil. It improves the quality of the hair. But of course, for hair to grow faster, longer and better, eating right is equally important. I've started taking few supplements now. Hoping for better hair results now. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us. It was interesting seeing your scalp through the magnifier. I hope to get one soon as it is helpful in showing us whether we have a well moisturized scalp. Thanks again.
Day 33 certainly looks thicker & healthier, as well as more bounce which I'm putting down to the increase in thickness. Well done! Your eyebrows also look thicker/fuller.
Hi Tina, I really like your videos! You have a simple, realistic approach and the results are definitely there! I am looking forward to see what the castor oil will do for you in time. I have to try it out at some point too. All the best!
I like how despite being a 12 minute video she's not wasting time talking nonsense. She's straight to the point. I love that.

My sister had exactly the same problem as her.
moodwana facts
Exactly
I used the moisturizing Head & Shoulders shampoo for almost a year (up until they changed their package, turns out they changed the formula too) and my hair was living for it, it was past my bum
I mixed castor oil with 2 tablespoons aloevera gel ,makes my hair more voluminous ,thicker and smoother 😊
How much oil do you use ?
@@angelinasulejmani7688 hi i used 4 tablespoons oil as I have thick n middle length hair ,but u can put as per your length of your hair😊
you’re a genius
I never heard of castor for hair but pure olive oil and aloe. So who knows but if it works go for it. My lashes grew thicker with the castor
Which shampoo do you use? Plz recommend
I don't know about hair, but I do know from own experience and also from my friend's experience that if you put castor oil on your eyelashes ( with clean mascara brush) every single evening before bed and leave it on, in around 1 month time your eyelashes will become really long and beautiful and will look like false eyelashes, as they will be so long.
Will it be effective At the age of 40?
@@researchscholar2424 it doesn't matter what age, the only problem is that it's not a permanent fix, if you stop using it for a month your hair thicknesses/length goes back to normal
Yes!!! I can confirm this. I filled a little tube with castor oil and a few rosemary leaves and after curling my eyelashes, I put It on almost everyday instead of mascara and my lashes have grown a lot!! I don't think they look fuller coz well genetics, I don't have a lot of hair in my body, but lenght, yes!
But be careful! Oil can get on your eyeballs very easily and damage the cornea. And without applying it direct into the roots it wont work so :/
lol if u alr hv kind of thick and filled in brows ACTUALLY DO NOT PUT CASTOR OIL ON THEM U WILL LOOK LIKE A WILD ANIMAL ISTG
As per Ayurveda, we use in our family Castor oil will be used during warm months and Coconut Oil in Cool months. We soak fenugreek seeds overnight and blend it next morning and apply it as a hair pack. We never use hair shampoos instead of that we wash our hair with Soapnuts(3) soaked overnight in a mug, just squeeze it you will see lather (natural shampoo). Finally, dry the wet hair with smoke coming from Sambrani incense (Benzoin Resin) in a Sambrani holder. That is why Indian women never experience any hair problems even in their old age.
No one has time for all that crap
Literally noone wants a smoky smelled hair eeewwwwww

Head and shoulders is the worse shampoo for your scalp.
Do some research and you shall find some. Everyone's hair is different. Pick one that suites you that has natural ingredients and no parabens
Head & Shoulders is notoriously known for removing hair color, and helping salt and pepper hair to turn all white much more quickly. But good trial!
Interesting. My doctor recommended it to me because I have scalp psoriasis.
@@strawberrytiramisu your doctor does not have the best interest in your hair. When I use to use head and shoulders I could literally feel it burning my scalp.
@@Anothervictim87 I dont really wash my hair much because its curly so it takes a while to get oily/need to be washed. When I use head and shoulders it makes my scalp feel kinda refreshed. However I do also use a medicated scalp oil so that could be why lmao.
i have seen that the density of my hair has shown good improvement since I started applying litleextra reactiavatte hair serum. I had areas where my hair was thin, but they are filling in nicely now.
For anyone to regrow their hair should definitely use reactivate hair growth serum. Based on my experience, it really works.
I've been using castor oil for a few years, first on its own on my bald spots and now as a hair mask (castor oil+vitamin E+aloe vera gel). I've always had fine hair and not much of it but this helped me a lot. I also got rid of regular shampoos and switched to natural products. Currently, I use Indian hair powders and I feel it's really good for my hair/scalp.
did it make your hair thicker??
@@sarafa912 Yes, the castor oil and then the hair mask (which is even better for my hair at least) thickened my hair. It's a long process, though. Still worth it, IMHO.

@@ayaalmandalawy1490 I used to apply it twice a week (I suffer from oily scalp/hair so twice was enough for me), but I do not see any harm in applying it every night. I'd say... try it and see if it suits your lifestyle/hair needs and adjust as needed. 😊

@@Nutellix okay yeah castor oil is reeeaaally thick but instead of using h&s to wash it off, mix the castor oil with coconut oil and it makes it easier to rinse out

In lockdown due to anxiety I’ve cultivated a very very *wrong* habit

Meaning my *50%hair* has vanished
But yk they say it’s *NEVER TOO LATE TO START*

Cause it’s not simple. Nothing is.
@@TinaTomato mam it will cure my baldness pleaaseee
Yes! Castor oil has helped both my hair and my eyelashes. On my hair and scalp sometimes I mix with sweet almond or coconut oil because castor oil is so thick and sticky. Also, I have used diluted apple cider vinegar to rinse the oil away prior to shampooing. Just an idea that works for me!
With your past experiencesx How long or often did you do this treatment? Did you also leave in over night? Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
Did it work?
@@mariana7802 hey! Are uh planning to use Castrol oil.
I love the fact she documents the whole experience so properly👌
It definitely made a difference! Thanks for spending so much of your free time to do this experiment for us. I’m going to share this video with my friend who has thinning hair.
It's a big difference for a month omg!
Hair only grows about 1/2 inch per month for the average person so if it grew a whole inch that’s incredible growth! It looks much fuller and with more volume.
I would recommend trying a more natural shampoo! I used head n shoulders for years and had horrible dandruff thinking that it was helping, I've switched shampoos for the last year and my scalp is so much healthier and no longer too dry/oily. (I used Lush shampoo/conditioner bars and Neutrogena tgel!)
Olivia J Shea Moisture from Target is an amazing more natural option 🙌🏼
@@priscilaamador338 Ahh i'm from uk so we don't have target, but i'll look for it elsewhere and try it when my other products have run out! Thanks for the suggestion.
shampoo bars are the best ♥
I used head and shoulders waaayy too long because I thought the dandruff was my biggest reason for my hair not growing back. Ive had hormone testing done but my thin hair is 100% genetic. I switched to natural shampoo and conditioner bars that contain 0 alcohol from an online company called Earthingco. I've used it for 2 months now every day or sometimes every other day (I have oily hair next day) and I have no dandruff anymore. My scalp feels refreshed and I have lots of baby hairs now. I feel more confident and know I will never go back to bottled shampoo.
I'm definitely going to try castor oil again with this now as it didn't seem effective with the chemical filled shampoos.
@@sierraowen9575 Shampoo bars for the win! Better for us and the environment : )
Hey girly! Make sure you’re wrapping your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf/bonnet or use a silk or satin pillow case if you don’t wanna do the whole scarf thing. If you choose a bonnet, flip it inside out so that your hair especially the hair line doesn’t get caught up in the elastic. I say scarf or bonnet cos it will keep all of the oil from getting on your face and everywhere else you don’t want it, and protect your tresses regardless of your hair texture. Ditch the head and shoulders shampoo that shampoo Destroyed my hair and find something more gentle. Aussie Moist is good and Creme of Nature and won’t break the bank. Garnier Fructis has good shampoos and conditioners too they won’t strip your hair. JBCO is a good oil but if you find it too heavy you can add something like Avocado oil which is also good for hair. If you haven’t already get your vitamin levels check especially for vitamin d and iron. You can also try things like MSM powder with vitamin c. MSM tends to thicken up hair in some ppl at least that’s been the experience I’ve had and my hair was very thin especially hairline. If you go the MSM route, start off slow and then build up to the max dosage to see how and if your body reacts. Have to get the inside right to get the maximum results on the outside. Helped me out a ton! I had traction alopecia from wearing extensions and lace fronts glued down for years and I gained back most of my edges/hairline. I know our hair textures are different, but some things cross over when it comes to hair care. There are probably many things from the natural hair community that you can try and it just might work. We’re sisters no matter what our ethnicity is and we can grow and learn from one another. Happy Hair journey sister ❤️
❤🫶
Only use Cotton or linen
Most people grow a quarter of an inch in a month. An entire inch is very encouraging. This would be a great idea for someone growing out a bad haircut or bangs.
if you want more hair growth, i’d try putting your hair in sections and really focus on your scalp more
Does it regrow new hair ?
@@mahnoorwadood2371 yes
I've been using the reactivate serum from liiitlextra for the past month and completely switched from my previous serum for the past two months. It's working wonderfully. I just apply it once every day with the spray pump that comes with the serum. It's very simple to apply, non greasy, and without any scent. The hair growth is so far so good, and it's only 1 month only and I will keep to apply it.
after a month, I am now seeing new hairs. I was just using cocooniion shampoo and reactivate hair serum.
reactttivate hair serum when used nightly for a couple of months did the job for me, yet for my brother, it took longer like about 3 months. I have no idea why!
For thick hair do the following:
1-use coconut oil (don't use castor oil in pure form dilute it with coconut oil)
2-at night braid your hairs.
3-add 1tea spoon mixture of fenugreek, mustard,carry leaves powder in your food every day.(mix all powders and USB 1teaspoon from it)
4-have health diet.
*Follow this you will have thick, shiny and long hair.*
Yes
Do you eat the fenugreek curry and mustard seed or mix it in your hair?
@@michelleu7516 I think you should ideally do both.. In India, we add mustard and fenugreek in many of the common food items. Even curry leaves. You can soak fenugreek overnight, grind it into a paste and apply it on your hair. If you have dry hair, you could add some coconut milk too. This once a week for a month would definitely bring good result.
@@michelleu7516 hiii,I add this ingredients in powder form in my everyday meal(just mix all ingredients ,make powder,n add tea spoon while you cook daily in meal).And I also make oil of fenugreek, mustard and curry leaves
PROCESS to make OIL:-
just take 100gram of each ingredient and add in 500ml parachute coconut oil or coconut oil you love,boil it at low flame with this ingredients about 15-20mins,keep stirring it. Cool it and strain. You can use this oil for2-3 months by keeping it at room temperature.
Direction : massage this oil at night and braid your hair .keep at least 11-12hour on scalp. You can keep for 2days if you r ok .
Do try this ,n reply.
My hair hates coconut oil
I mix Indian sesame oil and some essential oils - lavender, rose geranium, peppermint, tea tree, lime, orange, grapefruit, clary sage etc and use it approx once a week. With a stressful divorce and move to the other side of the country over the last 10 years my hair went grey and then thinned left & right. The grey and thinning recovered on the right and now the oil mix is fixing the very thin spot on the left. : ) Stick with it.
What are the rest of the oil?
@@abidee2574 Hi Abi I have just gone through the tub. Also: Argan, rose hip (different purpose to rose geranium), rosemary, eucalyptus - plus: lavender, peppermint, tea tree, lime, orange, grapefruit, clary sage. A few drops of each. More of the nutritional oils and a touch of the stronger ones. Good luck with it. : )
9:56 there's a big difference in your hair volume and shine! A couple tips: Warm up the castor oil before use, and massage it through the ends of your hair. Use a different shampoo, head and shoulders sometimes creates dandruff (I use biolage!)
Use natural shampoo based on plant extracts without chemicals
Hi, you’re the second person to say u need to pre heat it. How does it help?
Ok guys, ok! I've heard you loud and clear, I will stop using H&S on my hair. I will use it to clean my windows instead 😂

Yassss. thank you. i literally died inside when the H&S came out @ 3:33
Head and shoulder shampoo is what is causing the problem.
I think your hair definitely looks bouncier, has more body to it after the castor oil experiment. I agree with what everybody else is saying about head and shoulders shampoo. I researched it a long time ago and all I remember is that it's kind of brutal on the hair and scalp. I've been using castor oil on my eyelashes for about two months and I honestly can't tell any difference. I haven't wanted to use on my scalp because I don't really want to wash my hair anymore than every two days but after watching this video, I may start applying it once or twice a week. Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍🏼😄
My hair was thinning due to stress before and just bad hair care in general. What really helped me was learning about my hair type, going from daily washes to twice a week or as needed, co-washing, or using as little shampoo as possible, deep conditioning, and using oils on my hair (I use argan oil). Now my hair is stronger and healthier. Of course hair fall is normal but not as excessive as before. Good luck on your hair journey!
I lost quite a bit of hair due to stress myself. Not sure how to stop it going to try to use Castor oil now!
@@IsraelLlerena hey did you notice any growth? my hair from the front is thinning and I noticed some baldness in the front, can I fix that?
@@ksilofo it was too greasy for me and it was just uncomfortable to have it in. I use Topikk micro hair fiber powder to make my hair look more full. It makes me feel less insecure and it looks natural. Look into that if you want but it doesn’t grow hairs.
@@IsraelLlerena thank you, I appreciate the answer
I really think it looks thicker and the comfort sounds amazing
Tina! I think that the head and shoulders shampoo is the one causing your scalp to be very oily.
Last year I had the same experience, I've always had a normal oiliness on my scalp and after using head and shoulders for a few months I started experiencing excessive oiliness and even dandruff problems. Every 1 day after washing my hair, it would get very oily and dirty, so I washed it almost every day.
Then my mom recommended me using another shampoo and washing it every two days or so.
She was totally right! Cleaning your hair every day causes it to produce more oil to balance the dryness. Also the head and shoulders shampoo is really aggressive to oily and sensitive scalps.
I recommend to anyone who's having the same problems to use a different shampoo (according to your hair type) and not cleaning it every single day, only when you need to.
Also, english is not my first language, hope it was clear anyways :)❤️
Thanks for sharing! I plan on trying other shampoos after I finish head and shoulder, but it has made my scalp less itchy :D
Tina Tomato try adding a few drops of peppermint and/or tea tree oil to your next shampoo it helps relieve itchiness
Paella OldTown yesssss thats so trueeee, i even get bald for heald&shoulders and my hair was so so oily, that i couldnt touch my head or be touch by anything cause that patch become so so oily omg PLEASE STOP USING IT
Yes! That shampoo is awfull.
Try natural organic shampoos 🙂
Lucia Lu im trying looking for one good natural shampoo, which one do you recommend?
don't go to bed with wet hair, it will cause the scalp to dry more & produce excessive oil leading to dandruff and damaged hair shaft and use silk bonnet, castor oil on the lash line, eyebrows and face can cause comedones or milia. make sure to gently exfoilate with wash cloth to prevent.
Wow I need you in my life - please start a haircare chanel or blog - or better yet tell me you have one
Great advice ! 😘
Misha Bear If I exfoliate my eyelids before putting the castor oil on, will it still get comodones and milia?
@@chaillyliebowitz3095 it depends on your skin type. some people don't produce as much keratin and sebum so they don't get comodomes or millia. typically you exfoliate lightly using a wash cloth or a facial brush when washing your face at night before bedtime. i would use a clean unused pillow case and don't touch your face with your fingers, after applying. I developed millia around my eye and had to extract it myself because i used it every day. Maybe use it every other day. A bald spot on the scalp is different than your facial skin surface. Castor oil is really thick and not comedogenic. Sunflower or sesame oil is a nice alternative if your just needing thicker eyelashes and brows and not treating any bald spots. If your not vegan, make sure to include rich in protein and Vit D sources like milk, kefir, yoghurt, eggs, fish and mushrooms and cook your food in Olive oil, Sesame seed oil, Ghee or butter. Itll help your hair grow better from the inside -out. if you start to notice any bumps or acne after using castor oil on your face. stop using it and spot treat it with acne cream until it clears. Switch to a lighter oil. Hope it helps.
Castor oil is NOT comedogenic. Maybe it seems thick in texture but its molecules are really tiny so they can't clog your pores. That's why it's beautiful for problematic skin - mixed with grapeseed oil (2:1) is an excellent moisturizer and brightener.
okay finally found someone who got hair like me and has same problems and finally found remedies 😭🥺

The worse thing you can put on your hair is “ HEAD AND SHOULDERS “! As any hair specialists
I really like it and my hair looks fine. There are two versions, and one is safe for color treated hair. Its not drying like the regular version, but still has the Zinc Pyrithione. Says color safe on the front. When you have a flaky scalp any help is welcome, and H & S helps a lot.
Everyone is different!

I have worst kind of dandruff and I used head and shoulder

@@bananasinpajamas9499 Amy shampoo with ketoconazole is good for dandruff, If you can get one with 2% of ketoconazole that would be ideal, but you can only use it 2 or 3 times a week for a month :)
If you haven't already tried it, Henna is a great option to make your hair feel thick and healthy. It comes in a bunch of reddish brown shades or even black (although the black one could contain a certain ingredient which you should avoid). Since you already have dark hair the color wouldn't show up too much and therefore shouldn't be a huge concern. More importantly if you do try it out, make sure to use a brand that is all natural and uses 100% henna and or cassia plant. I did it a while ago and It's made my hair feel and look noticeably thicker and glossy.
@@aereio9141 was it black henna by any chance?
hi! You should get a satin pillowcase or a satin cap to wear to bed, cotton rubs against the hair and cause frizz
or silk
I agree. And it would be even better if she were to use a silk/satin bonnet to cover her hair at night: that way the oil would stay outta her face and not cause breakouts.
I didn't know that.My hair gets so frizzy and I hate it.Maybe I changed pillow case and plus I'm trying to grow my hair.I got jamaican black castor oil and cantu shea butter grow strong treatment to put on it together and I got nature's bounty gummies to take for my hair

Thank you for taking the time to do this experiment in order for the rest of us to observe the results and make a decision whether or not to go ahead and try this. Not like many other presenters who give false information to the desperate people in this world watching videos hoping that their hair will grow thick and fast.

Take Biotin for great results. I’ve grown new layers of hair at 60 and we’ve finally convinced my friend’s daughter, who was virtually bald and very depressed, to take it. She now has hair. It’s cheap and the tablets are tiny. No mess. Also get your iron levels checked, a lot of young women don’t eat red meat these days and that can contribute to the problem. It’s really what you put in your body that helps. Pale skin and dull eyes can indicate deficiencies. Your inside health shows in your skin and hair. Young women should have glowing skin and bright eyes, if they don’t then they’re lacking nutrients.
True a hundred percent!!which company ma'am ?
Can you tell the biotin products u used please? It'd very helpful.
There can be adverse effects though, just like any and all supplements. When I used a very highly reputable biotin supplement, I started getting cystic acne. Tried a lower dosage from a different company and still got it. Only use it if you need it and avoid super high doses unless you know you tolerate it well.
@@aartivedi7142 hey , you can use biotin from any brand. Jamieson makes tiny tablets of which u only need one a day. Also dont forget a high quality multivitamin. Quest, jamieson, Adrien gagnon are all local Canadian brands which i trust
Taking biotin for hair works if you do a blood test and have a deficiency, otherwise they dont do much but it's still worth a try. If your biotin levels are within range then the problem lies elsewhere, like PCOS (me) if its not age/genetics!
Ever since I switched my shampoo to Mane n Tail and used Softee's Castor oil hair and scalp conditioner (as a leave in) I no longer have dry scalp
I’ve been a stylist for over 30 years as everyone said already stop using the head and shoulders. If you have dandruff use a shampoo by Nioxin called Scalp therapy. I use to love to sell Solve by Redken but they changed it. And only use it 2 times a week. The caster oil should help your dryness.
I use castor oil most of the times mixed with another solution of oils that I created. Agree your hair looks to have volume after 30 days if all is equal. Great 👍 job hair needs the right oil combination #teamcastoroil. Depends on how aggressive you want to see the difference long term would work it either once a week for your hair type and twice a month for mine.
which oils u mix???

If my hair grew an inch a month, I'd reach my goal length within six months--with a trim. I use a lot if natural stuff on my hair, including oils, biotin, and a satin sleep cap every night. There was a noticeable difference in just thirty days. Very cool.
Water softening filters for showers. Just in case you have hard water in your area.
Reduces hair fall out, oilyness, and frizzyness. Oh, and scalp itchyness too.
Plus your skin won't feel as dry in the winter.
Did you continue to put it on your eyelashes and brows? Your hair does look healthier! Way to go!! 👏🏾
I love how honest this video is! 👏👏👏 Excellent review!
Really what changed my hair best was taking biotin, using a water filter in the shower and not using hot tools. Oh and stop putting a ponytail in it. I tried castor oil and others as a overnight mask and oh yes it was awesome! But the other things showed more growth and the oil caused me to break out if it gets on my face too much.
You got to be careful when you take biotin every day as a supplement, it makes people break out!
I’m having that issue now ! I’m shoulder length hair and I keep it in a ponytail but seeing breakage, I don’t want to leave it down because it will rub collar and fabric and break anyway... 😢 any suggestions
@@krissieg7862 you can put it into a bun, but that can often be uncomfortable because of the weight on your head, so perhaps a French twist style? It is a protective style and works on shorter hair

@@krissieg7862 That is a good question because I can barely never get my hair to grow longer than my shoulders too. It gets thin.
I could see a difference between day 2 & day 33 immediately. Keep it up.
Would like to see a 3 & 6 month update
Am i the only one who experiences more hairloss when putting oil on in?? My hair is too fragile....
it has something to with your type of hair
Same i also loose haira
Christina i also have the same experiences.. I only use aloe vera gel on my scalp.
Yess same for me too :(((
If your hair is thin, it's probably because the oil is heavy and weighs down your hair. You can definitely try aloe vera like another person commented. It has water like consistency and very light. When I used it on my brows they grew very fast. Onion juice is also great for hair growth but has a smell if you can tolerate. If you mix aloe vera with castor oil it also helps lighten the consistency. Hope this helps!
I do castor oil with a carrier oil such as coconut or olive or a blend and add a few drops of essential oil.. tea tree and rosemary are great for cleansing and growth ❤️
how often do you do it if i may ask? I wash my hair every three days more or less.
I do it once a week (when I’m being religious) but probably more often like once every week or two but I dont think it would cause any harm to do it more often!
I would recommend to not use essential oils in the mix. Dermatologist agree that people can become sensitive to frangrance after long use and get rashes, drier skin ect.
@@cristals8340 Hm that's interesting I've never heard that about essential oil since it shouldn't have fragrance in it if you are buying pure oil. But with everything you should try a little and see how your body reacts... plus you should be diluting the oil in a carrier oil not putting the oil directly on your skin! Hope this helps!
Hi, can we use peppermint oil and jojoba oil in the mix?
who else cut their hair too short and regrets it
Omg me!!! Hasn't grown in almost 10yrs!!!🙄
Me! Cut it pixie short last dec, and its oct now. My hair is just like a bob? It barely grows and I am so upset 😭
I did the same and it grew so fast to past my shoulders within a few months and now it's just stopped😭 I dont understand my hair at all 😑
Me! Went for a trim,the parlour lady chopped my 40cm long hair to a bob with ugly bangs....although I grew them back in 1.5 years.
That was the last time a pair of scissors ever touched my hair.
IT WAS THE LAST TYM I TRUSTED ANYONE EXCEPT MY MOM FOR MY HAIR!
I did, and I regretted it, but then I started using rice water, and that's when it started growing. Now it reaches my lower back. Another thing I do every three months or so is that I trim it( I cut about one centimeter or two, depends on if I have split ends or not)
P.S. never trust anyone with your hair
Me: That magnifying glass is so gross. Also me: Adds to cart.
😆👏
Magnifying glass Is awesome. Dermatologists use it as well.
I did the same thing!
Omg it was nasty
Lol
Im gona try this for sure. Tbh I appreciate the realness of this video. I like how she has minimal makeup it communicates a confidence 💪🏽
i loved the realness in this vid too.
She literally looks like the girl who was in the anime called " children of the sea" ...

I think putting that much castor oil on the hair and scalp is a bit much becouse how thick and viscous castor oil is and how hard it is to remove it.
I just use a drop in a bottle with water and conditioner, shake it very well and pour it on my hair, after I used shampoo. Then I rinse with water and the results are amazingly moisturized, shiny hair and my scalp feels sooo good!
But only use castor oil if you have dry scalp and hair! It worked wonders for my hair, nothing could keep it moisturized, I am so amazed!
To be honest with you, your hair is VERY! BEAUTIFUL!!! ......so healthy and naturally thick and shiny. Thank you for demonstrating castor oil:-)
several people have mentioned it already but from my experience of using Head&shoulders for more than 2 years. It's one of the harshest and strongest shampoos out there. It dries out the scalp as a result and ditching that brand was one of the good things I did for my hair.
Your hair look fuller and healthier
Wow I can def see the difference in how your hair bounced more at the end of the 30 days. One thing I've heard about using oil for hair is that it's best absorbed into wet/damp hair since that is when the follicles are more open- wondering if you came across that info too in your research. Anyways, great video!
My hair is like this and I switched to sulfate free conditioning-shampoo (if it’s a shampoo that requires a separate conditioner-it always seemed to strip too many oils during the wash. So I prefer a combo for my hair). Once a month (maybe twice a month but too often isn’t good. It’s the same as taking too much of any vitamin) I use a flaxseed hair mask. This gives my hair an AMAZING feel and look. I use two cups of water, bring to a boil, add 1/2cup flaxseed. Simmer until you get a white froth/foam on the water and then strain. Use the gel that you strain from the seeds to gently rub through your scalp and hair. Let it sit for an hour. Then wash with a gentle sulfate free conditioning shampoo. DO NOT USE HEAT to dry your hair. Use cool air to dry and if you’re drying naturally, be sure to flip your hair around often to give it lift. Taking hair, skin, & nails vitamins and getting my hair cut with “textured” ends rather than layers also really helped me as well. Hope this helps someone! I wish you all well with finding what works best for you! 🙂
Hi there, how often do you use the flaxseed hair mask? I just started using it.
Vivi Lavi Oh hullo, I usually try to do it about once a month. But I’m flexible with it depending on if I feel like my hair needs the boost (or doesn’t). I actually got the recipe from RUclipsr alexandrasgirlytalk, but bc I don’t like to use shampoo that strips my natural oils, I tweaked the recipe so I wasn’t adding oils to my hair either. 🙂
I Love that cool telescope you used
girl you’re so pretty, thanks for the helpful video
Rosemary oil grows hair. In a head to head medical study, it performed as well as Rogaine with minoxidil and didn't cause itching like Rogaine. U may need a carrier oil for the Rosemary. Read about the medical journal study it's online & find out.😁
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
@@TinaTomato I've found that using witch hazel on a cotton ball really helps clean my face, too! It's amazing.
For acne flares, I put a dab of clay facemask (kaolin clay has sulfur) on the pimple & sleep with it on overnight helps a lot, too! I think Acne free has a decent, inexpensive face mask that works fine. Also, u can put a dab of triple antioxidant ointment on just the blemish heals it, too! Just don't use it all over- only small areas. Just a dab.
Look up Niacinamide online. The Ordinary sells a low cost bottle. Very good stuff! Paula's Choice has a $40-50 bottle at 20%. I've found it shrinks pores and makes the blackheads dissapear. Licorice root cream or serum is a nice skin brightener & anti inflammatory & anti redness product. Check 'um out, honey!
Oh! Get your thyroid checked next time u go to the Dr & make sure your thyroid isn't the cause of hair loss. I know there are many things that can cause it.
I have autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia; they both can cause hair loss and thinning. Ck out hair toppers online. It may make u feel better while your hair grows out.
I wish u the best! ❤👍😘
Also peppermint oil grows hair too. There was a study on this.
@@quarantinelife. That's amazing, Alice!
If you want to get the oil off easier you could try mixing it with another oil like a carrier oil, for instance argan oil? Also using too much castor oil will cause the opposite effect, a little goes a long way. Less is more here ❤ I'm also on a hair growth and strengthening journey so good luck to everyone else who is also doing the same!!
It does look like it's gotten a little more volume in the after picture.
I think the bounce, shine and quality looks better. Good video, too!
When you use castor oil on your eyelashes and eyebrows, it says it takes 6-8 weeks of daily application before you can really see a difference. So it could take a bit more time. I've also heard that it won't really multiply your hairs, but it will make it come in thicker and darker so it gives the impression of more hair. And stronger, so it can be more voluminous. I've used it sporadically (once a weekish) for a few months and some of my thinner spots in the front are growing back (I had a bad run-in with a haircare line for curly hair which burnt off my thinner hairs). I apply it hanging my head upside down so my hair shafts won't get in the way of the massage. Overall, it definitely works but it requires a bit of patience to see initial results. It does crazy stuff for my eyelashes though.
In our home, great results with lashes and brows in 30 days. Apply evenly, as lashes grow thicker wherever castor oil is applied the thickest.
Also recommend cold pressed organic castor oil. Do not heat the oil. Warm it, if you must, but only warm the oil you are applying for your treatment. Oils lose their good properties easily, especially with heat exposure.
You can tell the difference your hair is growing with the castor oil and your hair is thicker it looks thicker and a lot healthier
I see everyone saying to try this and that but there is a point where home remedies can’t help against genetics sadly :(
Genetics don't play as much of a role as people think.
@@427skies
That's what I tell to myself while staring at my bald patch to feel better and evade reality 😂😭.
But minoxidil with tretinoin can
do balayam nd kapalabhati regularly for any kind of hair loss even genetic one ...for more details search google about balayam nd kapalabhati how to do them
KnackeredNoodle Girl have you been to the doctors? Taken a blood test? Because one morning last year I woke up with a bald spot on the very top of my scalp and found out I had very low levels of iron. Been taking iron tablets every night for the last 8 months and I can see quite a bit of hair growing back which is a good sign.
I would love to see monthly videos of your hair after using castor oil 2x week. Thank you for sharing!
I haven’t tried it on my hair, but y’all castor oil is not a joke. My sister would use it on her eyelashes and had to start waxing the top of her cheekbones because it would drip/smear down onto her face. Thanks for the video!!
Disclaimer: my sister is a hairy brown woman. She already had hair (not your average peach fuzz) on her cheekbones, as do I, but it became darker and thicker with the castor oil.
Great and thorough video! Ty! Your hair does look healthier and fuller!👍❤️
You should warm up the oil before applying.
Also use a better quality shampoo than Head and Shoulders
@@sultanachowdhury6610 You can use Live Clean if it's available in your city. It's inexpensive and has different variety for different hair types and even dry scalp.
Yes, definitely warm up the oil! It will be easier to remove. I microwave 1-1.5 tbsp on a small plate for 10 seconds
Zaffira
It’s better to put it in a applicator bottle and put the bottle in warm/hot water. Then leave it for a couple of minutes.
yes. warm water to warm it up as microwaving the oil results in some of its nutrients dissapating!
I heard that warm water is not good on the hair you have to have a cool water on it.Is that true?
Nice improvement! Wear a satin bonnet and/or satin pillowcase when you sleep. Some essential oils could also be beneficial for your scalp. Also, look into rice water rinses. Have an awesome day!
Thanks for sharing!
@@TinaTomato You're welcome!
How do you do the rice water rinse?
Shea Soaps by Lara Where do you get rice water ? 😀
@@elizabethmiller7884 You make it with just rice and water. Soak about 1 Tbsp of rice in about 2-3 cups of water. Let that soak for about 1-2 days. Strain and then use in your hair. I usually add some hair conditioner to mine.
Your hair grew so much!! Impressive results in my opinion!
MOST HELPFUL VIDEO ON RUclips ON HAIR
What amazed me is the fact that the comb went through your hair so easily after applying castor oil. My hair gets too sticky to use a comb.
I lost my hair after baby. But now I finally find meds for my hair. I was sceptical when read reviews on azon but price was cheap so I try and now can't stop use it. Now I use it almost 5 month and change my hair a lot. I can send my picture and you can see hair before and after. It's amazing and will help you too. I'm pretty sure. Propidren with saw palmetto.
Can you send to me? I'm curious!
А Шам can send for me too? I have problem thinning hair
@@rsloveeeee could you please send me your email
Could you please send it to me. I would be so thankful.
Can you send it to me pls!
Baking soda and shampoo, mixed in your hand, will remove the greasy feeling of the castor oil. I do a castor oil treatment every two weeks overnight. I wear a disposable shower cap to contain the oil. I also use 2 towels, to protect my pillows.
flynn malin don’t use baking soda that often, you are definitely going to destroy your hair in the long run. It will get extremely dry and straw like. Baking soda is good for you if you use it literally twice a year :)
@@ElsieMarina I beg to differ with you. I have been following this protocol, since 1998, well over 22 years. My hair is. NOT like straw. It is very well-conditioned, and beautiful. I have been doing my own hair, and know what works for me. If your hair is like straw, you have failed to use a natural conditioner such as castor oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil. You can even use regular mayonnaise, to condition your hair. I started with mayo, every 2 weeks overnight, as described. The baking soda is used to remove the greasiness. It does not strip your hair, of being moisturized. After you shampoo with the baking soda and shampoo mixture, follow with your normal conditioner. Follow that, with your normal styling procedure. Your hair will be gorgeous.
@@flynnmalin just a tip. Try it.it works.first put shampoo on your hair and rub it in but WITHOUT any water. Then you step under the water and wash.all the oil will remove itself without using bicarbonate. Then you can put more shampoo for a second wash or conditioner.either way your oil is already gone.
Thank you comment section! Im lucky I don't use head and shoulders.
My hair is very thin rip.
I used caster oil mixed with coconut oil and almond oil from last 4 months .and their is a huge difference in thickness and length.yes caster oil works .
What’s the ratio of mixing of these oils?

Based on the microscope images, it appears that you have seborrheic dermatitis along the front of your hair line. This can be observed by slight redness and sebum deposits. Conversely, the mid scalp appears white and healthy. The hairs appear finer at the frontal hairline, indicative that the sebum buildup might be leading to temporary hair fall. I would recommend getting a prescription for a 2% ketoconazole shampoo. The Head and Shoulders shampoo might be too drying leading to greater oil production. Some over the counter shampoos that work well for seborrheic dermatitis would be Tgel or Free and Clear shampoo 2% Pyrithione Zinc. Be careful with the use of castor oil. This could potentially lead to hair fall considering that you might have seborrheic dermatitis. The oil can clog up the follicles making it hard for the hair to grow. My recommendation to consult with a dermatologist so that you can have a proper treatment. Natural products can work for people who do not have any scalp conditions but be cautious.
The scientists did a research about castor oil and eyelashes growth. And it looks like it makes more damage to them rather than making them grow.
Really?
Rex L could please post a link with some data? I’m not seeing that?
Rex L if you’re speaking of pure oil can be irritating and if it’s processed hexane absolutely do not use this on your skin.... so not... it’s not if it’s processed properly. ✌🏻🥳
@@MzClementine I'll try to relocate it. But I can say from experience, castor oil works great on oily, acne prone skin.
Nice video and a pleasant presenter
The problem is you used a mix of castor oil and coconut oil
coconut oil tends to clog the pores and doesn't suit oily scalp + how will you know which oil helped?
Why didn't you try 100% pure castor oil?
In addition: you're using H&S which is filled with silicones and mineral oil that again clog the pores
and builds up on the scalp.
I use castor oil with coconut oil as the carrier oil. It improves the quality of the hair. But of course, for hair to grow faster, longer and better, eating right is equally important. I've started taking few supplements now. Hoping for better hair results now. Fingers crossed.
Head and Shoulders ..made my hair weak and fall out ..😭 ...now I use Jonson baby Shampoo .it growing well..👌❤
Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us. It was interesting seeing your scalp through the magnifier. I hope to get one soon as it is helpful in showing us whether we have a well moisturized scalp. Thanks again.
Day 33 certainly looks thicker & healthier, as well as more bounce which I'm putting down to the increase in thickness. Well done! Your eyebrows also look thicker/fuller.
It looks longer, healthier and fuller! And it has more movement! Also your hair grows about half an inch per month so that’s def big growth!
Hi Tina, I really like your videos! You have a simple, realistic approach and the results are definitely there! I am looking forward to see what the castor oil will do for you in time. I have to try it out at some point too. All the best!
