A lot of you have been asking, what is your favorite carrier oil for hair? For me, I can say a huge favorite is Castor Oil. Its beautifying benefits can benefit your hair, skin, and face. Its high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids that are present in Castor Oil are the reason for its incredible health benefits.

The vitamin E, proteins, minerals, and antibacterial properties of castor oil can help strengthen and lengthen your hair follicles when applied regularly. According to Hairguard.com, castor oil works because it contains "ricinoleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid which makes up the majority of castor oil’s composition." When applied to your roots daily, it can increase hair growth, reduce hair damage from product build-up and styling, and prevent dry scalp. It enhances and improves the overall health of your hair. When you apply it to the ends of your hair, the castor oil can help reduce frizz and repair split ends. Follow the steps below to help strengthen and grow your hair.
To grow longer hair, apply castor oil evenly to your scalp and roots using your fingertips.
